grip the lever. the staples are driven
through the material on which you
are working, and you can use your
other hand TO hold the material in
place.
Staples are easily loaded into the
machine. A refill supply may be
bought for about 80 to 40 cents a
thousand. There is also a special
tack remover available, should you
want to remove the staples later.
OF course, the use of these tackers
is limited to materials tnat are held
together by staples or tacks, which
are only about one-half inch long.
But that takes care of a good many
jobs around the home-making
screens, repairing window shades,
putting up shelving, etc.
