What fasteners does the T501 take?

It fires five types, including flat and round-crown staples, brad nails and pin nails. Match the fastener to the color-coded guide on the tool.

Is it good for upholstery?

Yes. The light weight and low power setting suit fabric and thin padding, and the compact body reaches into chair frames and corners.

Can it drive into hard wood?

It can, but it takes a firm squeeze. Use the high power setting and thin fasteners for dense hardwood.

Does it need batteries or a compressor?

No. It is fully manual, so there is nothing to charge and no hose to drag around.

How do I stop fasteners going too deep?

Set the lever to low power and press the tool firmly against the surface so the safety contact sits flat.

Our take on the Arrow T501 5-in-1 Manual Staple and Nail Gun

The Arrow T501 is a manual staple and nail gun that fires five fastener types: staples, brad nails and pin nails for woodwork, upholstery, insulation, crafts, fencing and cable wiring. A high/low power lever sets how deep fasteners drive into hard or soft material, and the bottom-load magazine reloads quickly with a color-coded guide for picking the right fastener. It is compact and light enough to carry around a job and use overhead without the fatigue of a heavier tool. Against powered rivals it trades speed for no battery, no cord and no compressor, and owners rate it highly for reliability on light and medium jobs.
