I love mine. One of the kids down the block from is into cars. He details them in his garage (does an awesome job and doesn't charge too much), he buys and sells sports cars and he drifts. He's always bringing me bumpers from his and his friends drift cars to repair for them. They don't even want them finished, just "stapled" back together. Looks better than drilling holes and using zip ties like they were doing. I fixed a couple of BMW bumpers for him last weekend. The kid is only 19 years old and is a harder worker than most guys twice his age.
That melter blade thing looks pretty cool. I don't have one of those.
Have a great weekend and don't burn your fingers
Thanks for the story Bruce - love to hear them. You're right that thing looks pretty scary hot :)
Looks like a good one Jerry 👌
Thanks for checking it out SWC - have a good weekend :)
I have the 50watt handheld version it works great for fixing all kinds of plastic....You don't need to heat staples you can just put them where you want them then start heating. Also you had the staples sideways. The wave staple are supposed to go so the loops go back and forth along the seam.
Ahhh! Thanks! That completely makes sense - much appreciated :) I was thinking..... "How can I get more strength?" My mind has been opened :)
At the body shop I work at I do all the bumper repairs and use a tool very similar to that all the time, and I love it. It works fantastic.
Thanks for the support Eric - have a good weekend :)
Bought one from Dent Fix several years ago. Some things it works well, some it doesn't. Dang those bad places in those stupid covers. Don't matter how many, or where the staples are. Most can not be fixed with out the other expensive tools because of the different typs of plastics. Thanks for sharing, Sir.
You're welcome :)
Those hot staplers can be a life saver on plastics. I’ve been working on a series also on bumper repair. I like seeing what other channels such as yours are doing as everyone has different techniques. Good video Jerry.
You're right about that. I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the video Greg 🛠😊✌
Hi Jerry. Awesome video. Plastic welding is actually something I did do :) what I did with the staples is after it gets inserted into the plastic, I gave it about a quarter turn, then pulled the welder away. I find that the plastic moves completely around the plastic and then some. I also found out, the more staples one can put in the better. I turn one right and then the other left. Its almost like lacing up your sneakers. And man does it hold. After I do the staples, I go all out, and actually weld up the crack, then I use rigid plastic repair for the first coat(kinda like using body filler) then I do use use a little bonds, and 2 part poly puddy. Is this over kill? Have a great weekend
Sorry about that. Should be bondo not bond
Thanks for the tips GM - I'll keep them in mind next time I use it. The machine is very handy and should be pretty helpful around the house too. Always a pleasure hearing from you my friend :)
Great demonstration Jerry, this would be great to have in the shop and work pay for itself in a short period of time!
Fun to use too :)
Wow this is a nice tool for Bumper covers.
My hot stapler is one of my favorite tools. I've used it to repair heaps of things and haven't had a single failure yet.
Best part.... it's fun to use! 😊
@@LakesideAutobody Yes it is! One thing I do when space allows is after getting the staple as deep as I want it, I give it a little turn. In my head it helps lock it in better, especially when any adhesives/fillers are used since it wont let it rotate loose and being under some parent material it won't pull out as easily.
@@DaneSaysStuff Good advise - thanks. Have a good weekend DSS 👍🛠😊
Very nice
Can't wait to see you use it in real fashion out on the job, I am having trouble getting the gun let go of the staples on my model.
Do you have the same one or a different brand?
@Lakeside Autobody it's a different brand, pistol body type.

Bless Learn something everyday. Thanks 😊 Nice work
Glad to hear it John - I appreciate your support :)
Great demonstration !!!! I have done plastic repairs in the past with a soldering gun. This looks like a pleasure to use !
I got the idea from you my friend - when you fixed your plastic seat parts :) Have a good weekend my friend - always great to hear from you PSG :)
@@LakesideAutobody HaHa yes ! Well I'm honored that a rock star you tuber like yourself was somehow influenced by my little channel lol. 😂😂 Have a great weekend Jerry !
I use a similar tool but battery powered, extremely useful, like another commentator said when I sink the staple into the plastic I rotate it a few degrees to really lock it in and then I use the paddle to flow the plastic back over the inserted staple. Be very careful of your eyes when sniping off the legs of the staples, they can fairly fly at speed and we don't want any one having accidents, best of luck with your machine, hope it gives you many years of good service.
Thanks for your input and tips - I'll keep that in mind about the staple ends - always have a pair of safety glasses on though so I should be OK - have a great weekend Ed :)
Thank you.
Great tool review, Jerry. Even if a guy repairs only a couple otherwise replaced bumper covers, this thing will pay for itself.
Happy Spring my friend, thanks again for all of the edu-tainment!
Thanks EZ - happy Spring to you too. You're welcome - thanks for watching :)
Neat little tool. Great video have a great weekend
You too Brad - thanks for watching :)
Looks like a better tool than the Harbor Freight plastic welder. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome BIgBlue - have a good weekend :)
I was looking for something like this to fix a bike cowling that had a hole poked through and in 5 pieces. Ended up using a pretty cool product called Plastifix. It actually etches itself into the plastic and I was able to fill a hole (missing piece) the size of two quarters. This stapler would be a good first step with loose pieces though.
Great for the first step like you said :)
Neat tool!
I think those staples are supposed to go the other way (turned 90deg)? It would be much stronger that way.
You're right. Thanks for that 👍🛠😊
Hi Jerry...very useful info here. Question for ya- how do YOU go about removing seriously baked on factory adhesive from under emblems, chrome letters, etc etc?
This might give you some ideas - gotta be really firm with the blade though - ua-cam.com/video/CuvAJbSARNU/v-deo.html If all else fails you can always do this - ua-cam.com/video/tjF6XPSX9Zo/v-deo.html Lacquer can often cut it too - thinner is the strongest solvent and is a "go to" when it comes to removing stuff like that :)
Can I use this to brand cattle?
Yes or give yourself cool looking tattoos :)
What filler are you using for plastic?
Ocean Flexible Bumper Filler
nice! can you get the staples on amzon?
Yes, there's a pretty good selection - just type in "hot staples plastic welding repair" on amazon :)
@@LakesideAutobody sweet smoke cigritts
Nice. How much is it?
$119 - pretty solid construction :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thanks for the quick reply!
