How do you load nails in stanley tr250 staple and nail gun??

I’m trying to buy brads, where can I buy the brads for this staple/Brad gun?

There are 4 staplers in the Stanley SharpShooter family. You drop the staples on top of the "slide out loader," then slide it into the gun. See models and staple sizes below:


TR150HL Stanley Sharpshooter

• Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples

TR150 SharpShooter

• Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples
  

PHT150C SharpShooter Heavy Duty Hammer Tracker

• TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples (1/4"-3/8")
  

TR250 SharpShooter Plus Heavy Duty Staple/Brad Nail Gun

• Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples and 1/2", 9/16" and 5/8" Brads
  

More information on the Stanley SharpShooter and a quick loading demo can be found here: http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/12/134/StanleyTR150HLSharpShooterHeavyDuty/185661

The first thing you can do is to remove the lock of the staple holder which you will find at the bottom part of your staple near at the holder of the staple..after you remove that holder the next thing you will do is to get one of the staple and put it in..after that you can put again your lock of the staple and you can use it..thats the way how to put the staple nail..
i hope it can help you..

how to reload stapples?

It should come completely out try some wd 40 there is problely just a bur on it when you get it out lightly file and lube it

there should be a button / lever at the rear press it and it should open so as to insert the staples

Look at rear handle bottom, Push in then pull out,load. Please rate. Thanks

I bought one of these guns today and I had the same problem and it took me about 2 hours to figure it out as the instructions were very poor. Here how to load the brad nails:-

(a) Pull the slider bar all the way out
(b) Place the brad nail stick on the left side, IN FRONT OF the slider, NOT in the narrow gap in front of the two arrows where it says "LOAD BRADS"
(c) The nail heads should be facing the handle of the gun
(d) Close the slider and lock it
(e) Try it out. I tried nailing hardboard onto chipboard. The lever at low power only put the nail in about 30%. On Hi power it went in about 80%.

Good Luck

Jason,

I think this is typical of these staplers/nailers. I bought a lighter model Stanley the first time and had this problem. I took it back and exchanged it for the heaviest Stanley they had at Home Depot and had the same effect. It drove the stapler a little deeper but not all the way.

I did find that if I put all the down pressure on the stapler right on the edge where the staple comes out and then pull the trigger it would drive the staple almost all the way in. I think that there is a recoil effect (like with a gun) when you pull the trigger and the staple enters the wood. Try this. it will help.
