For nearly a hundred years... one name. It rattles in the bottom of the drawer. Smells like grease and sawdust. Arrow Fastener isn't just a factory; it's a monolith of grit. Maybe you’re sweating on a roof or just trying to fix a chair without crying... that red, white, and black logo means you’re done playing games. We’ve been authority since 1929. Corporate suits have shuffled us around—Masco, Hangzhou GreatStar—but the soul is iron. We make tools that don't break when you drop them.
Morris Abrams started hustling staples out of a car trunk in NYC back in 1929. The T50 arrived in the 50s. A mechanical beast. Spring-action fury. 40 million sold because we don't mess with perfection. People think staple guns are for lost cat posters. Wrong. It’s violent. You’re slamming metal into hardwood and masonry. Home repair is messy, miserable work... itchy insulation, torn screens. You need a tool that fires.
Home Repair Nightmares
Shoving fiberglass into an attic? You’re itchy. You’re miserable. You need a tool that doesn't quit. Don't crush the batting.
The DIY Hustle
Turn trash into gold. Reupholster that garbage chair. A staple gun is a gateway drug to making things look expensive.
For The Pros
Reliability is currency. If a tool chokes, you lose money. Vapor barriers, roofing, wiring... pros reach for Arrow.
Flat Wire Science
Round wire tears stuff up. We use flat wire. More surface area. It holds on tight to thin plastic and insulation.
Marine Grade
The ocean hates steel. We use Monel alloy. Mostly nickel. It laughs at salt water while regular steel rots away.
Forward Action
We don't just sit on our hands. We invented Forward-Action. Push over the point, don't squeeze. Cuts effort in half. Smart.

Arrow T50 Heavy Duty Staple Gun
The Flagship. Chrome steel housing. No disposable plastic junk here. This thing is an heirloom. Hardened steel guts treated in a 1,500-degree furnace... hits like a mule. 50 million units sold. For general heavy-duty work... this is the one.
Got a compressor? Want to go fast? The PT50 is your speedster. Manual staplers need grip strength. This uses air. Bump-fire mode lets you fly. Die-cast aluminum body... lightweight so your hand doesn't fall off. Fatigue is the enemy.
Speed is king. Swing it like a hammer. No trigger. It drives a staple when it hits. High-carbon steel parts. Shatter-proof handle. Holds two full strips so you aren't reloading every five minutes. Don't worry about being gentle.
Loyalty is about trust. And heritage. We still make a massive chunk of our consumables in the USA. 7 out of 10 hardware staples sold retail? Made in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.
All-steel construction means these tools don't die. We hear stories all the time about people using T50s they inherited from their grandfathers. Decades of abuse.
Morris Abrams didn't just want to peddle staples. He wanted to solve problems. We hold dozens of patents today because we kept that mindset. Integrity. Reliability. It’s all in the tagline... "How it all comes together." We make tools that don't jam and we stand behind them.
I inherited my dad's T50 from the 70s. The chrome was flaking off a bit but honestly? I just oiled it. Put some new staples in. It works like a tank. They don't make stuff like this anymore.

Homeowner
I have arthritis. Hands are bad. I switched to the PT50 because I couldn't squeeze the manual one anymore. Reupholstered my entire dining set without hurting my hands. It just works.
Brenda Walsh
Crafter
The T50HS is my go-to. I dropped it off a ladder yesterday. About 20 feet up. It hit the concrete. I went down, picked it up, and kept working. It takes a beating and doesn't jam. That's all I care about.

Do you need a fastening tool?
It can be confusing. Here is the straight dope... Q1: Paper crafts? No. Get a JT21. Q2: Tired hands? Don't squeeze. Get a PowerShot or go electric. Q3: Rust? Standard steel rusts. It’s chemistry. Buy Monel if you're near the ocean. Do not cheap out.
