The Porter-Cable US58 1/4-Inch to 5/8-Inch, 22-Gauge C-Crown Upholstery Stapler is an easy to use pneumatic stapler with plenty of useful features. It uses standard Senco C Type 22-gauge, 3/8-inch crown staples to get the job done right, and it includes a 1-inch nose extension for those tough to reach areas. The high-capacity bottom-load magazine handles 185 staples, and the driver guide moves back to easily clear jams from the magazine.

 "Porter-Cable Upholstery Stapler" 2010-07-23
By Jeffer
Lots of products out there to meet this need. Porter's unit is well built, feels solid, easy to operate, and a great entry price-point. I'm not a professional upholstery fabricator, I'm re-doing my boat upholstery and am using this unit with my Porter-Cable compressor, using 3/8" x 3/8" stainless steel staples and it's been great. And I'm confident that I could complete my job, and turn it around in near new condition on EBay and get 80-90% of my money back!



One hint, adjust the air on your gun and test staples. At the higher end of the range it'll set the staples so far that the fabric will pull out (depending on your material and base). I had to run it on the lowest setting in the recommended range, which was as low as my regulator would adjust.



I definitely recommend this unit. Also, great vendor as well!

Like any well made product the Porter Cable Upholstery Stapler is absolutely a delight to use. The 1" long extension is a must for anyone working on upholstery projects. We used it recently on some oak chairs using 3/8" fine wire staples from Amazon at 70psi. Follow the instructions and you should have no problems.

 "Performed Flawlessly" 2010-01-17
By Rodney McQueen (Illinois, USA)
Have done various reupholstering projects through the years and had always hand stapled. What a difference this this tool made! It reduced the time required to complete the project and greatly improved the quality of the work. It did not "misfire" once. It is lightweight and easy to use. I highly recommend the tool, at least for home use.

 "WOW, great tool and Recommded" 2009-11-05
By Electric Z (Oregon)
Upon receiving this stapler I was using it within 10 minutes of the UPS delivery. It came with the air fitting already installed. I slapped some 1/2" staples in it and I was off working. It has a great ergonomic handle that feels great in your hand and is lightweight. My wife likes it too!



The stapler is of the high Porter-Cable expected quality. It made short work of my first project and expect many more hours of use. This tool is made for working. As fast you can pull the trigger the staples are set deep and no jamming. Recommended and the price was very reasonable.



Here it is a month later and wanted to add a couple thoughts since first purchase. First, it is working great and I am very happy.



Next, some have commented about a possible safety feature missing in that staples can be freely shot out, (no device needs to be pushed against the object being stapled first). After using it a lot, quite frankly I would find it a nuisance if there was such device. When working with fabric or some other material it would be a major impediment to have to reposition the stapler, push down and then pull the trigger. When stapling many staples with its current design you can just slide the stapler to the next position pull the trigger and move on. Much more efficient and faster.

 "Great product" 2010-05-14
By Michael Pascucci (Boston, MA USA)
Made the trip with me around Australia keeping my netbook, iphone, and camera battery charged on the go. I mainly used the AC jack, but occasionally hooked up the iphone directly to the USB port when I needed to charge my camera battery at the same time. Was able to charge my netbook from 0% to 100% twice on a single charge of the Duracell Powersource Mobile 100. It was key in my travels, as I spent 2 weeks camping in the outback - no hostels, hotels, or electrical outlets. I just had my Australian rental car with a cigarette lighter / 12v jack, and I had no troubles with using that to charge the Powersource Mobile. For reference, I also had a Duracell Power Inverter that did not work in the Australian car (although it possibly could have been damaged prior to that).



My only complaint is that the "charge remaining" indicator is not very helpful. The battery LED flashes orange while charging, and then again when low (beeps for about 5 seconds before it dies completely). It remains green when on. Otherwise, there is no way to gauge if you have, say, 90% left or 10% left. Likewise, do I need to leave it plugged in for 30 minutes or 4 hours to have any useful charge?

 "Don't buy from [...]!!!" 2010-04-29
By Scott Chou (San Francisco, CA United States)
The $30 price tag turned out to be too good to be true. The unit arrived unused, factory sealed but the manufacturing date was Oct 2006! These kinds of batteries don't have that kind of shelf life. The internal batteries are now dead and won't take a charge. I suppose [...] grabbed some kind of surplus inventory in order to offer this deal. Having said that, the product itself might have rated highly back in 2006. I'm sorry for dragging down its average rating here on the product page, but I see that [...] is the only supplier for this closeout special.

 "Convenient Portable AC Power Plug" 2010-04-17
By D. Sauer (Ohio)
I wish this sort of device was more common. When you travel around, finding an outlet can be a bit of a hassle. Just for fun I did some experiments using 13 watt compact fluorescent lights. On a single full charge, a 13 watt CFL will last well over an hour. 3 CFL's will last up to 20 minutes. My Cradlepoint CTR-350 will deliver a whopping 4 hours when plugged into this device. My Eee however will overload it and cause the device to shut down. To fully charge from AC, you can expect 2 to 4 hours. Keep in mind that while it functions as an inverter when plugged into a car's cigarette lighter, it will function as an inverter while slowly charging itself. When plugged into AC, it will not function as an inverter, and will not power any device.



I have only one major complaint: The unit is sealed, and that means the battery is not replaceable. Mine still holds a pretty good charge, but once the battery starts to break down, the unit becomes disposable.

I ordered three when they were on sale and I have no complaints. They do exactly what they are advertised to do. I noticed a lot of people complaining about the date of manufacture being very old and they had problems. All three of mine were manufactured on 03/April/2008 and they all perform flawlessly. Can power my wifi webcam (5 watts) for a solid 6 hours and change.

Have yet to try running one while feeding it 12v from a car, but I do want to experiment with these and a solar panel. Would open up a lot of interesting usage scenarios.

 "Great, but not perfect" 2010-03-12
By Tim Little First Church
The product worked as advertised. I am indeed glad that it has a fuse in case of short or overload. Given that its intended use is in a foreign country, in my case India, it would have been awfully nice to have had a replacement fuse included in the carrying case. For half the trip, I had a wonderful power converter which had not been blown up in an unfortunate short because of a fuse; but no way to purchase or find a replacement fuse in a foreign and somewhat remote area. For those planning to purchase this unit, it travels well and the plugs work great for the growing number of items which are already set up for 220 volts (most newer Apple products can automatically switch if plugged into different current.) The 50 watt setting is fairly useless. The unit got hot to the point of melting even charging a phone on the 50 watt setting. The 1500 watt setting worked very well. And pick up a couple of small 5 amp automotive fuses to stick in the carrying case. For less than a dollar you can keep running in the event of an unfortunate short or voltage spike.

 "Design Issues" 2010-01-07
By T. Shah
We purchased this product prior to a trip to Europe and parts of North Africa. We thought that it would be very useful for our electronics. We actually had to buy this product a second time because the voltage converter blew out (and the plastic around it melted slightly) as a result of my wife's hair flattener, though I'm not sure she read the wattage on it before using the voltage converter. Here's what we've found:



Pros

- Cheap

- Easy to use because the instructions seem somewhat dumby proof - using color coding and symbols. This isn't our first time traveling overseas, so we didn't need it.

- The adapters work without issue. They're great. You don't really need to color coding since it's really just about plugging into the outlet whatever fits best.



Cons

- As I mentioned earlier, the voltage converter burned out on us. In general it gets quite hot

- Design issue for wall outlets. The convertor adds to a adapter, which means it all gets heavy, so the whole thing curves downward or can easily fall out if the outlet is old or loose. We worked around this by finding a way to plug it into the floor or table in our hotel



We bought this product a second time just to get the the convertor, so it wasn't bad. It was relatively cheaper to do that than buy something else.

 "STAY AWAY FROM THIS!" 2009-12-28
By D.S. (Milwaukee, WI)
I bought 4 different kind of voltage converters for my India trip and this was one of them specifically to plug in electronic equipments at lower wattage 50 Watt setting. I plugged in my Graco baby monitor adapter into this converter. It worked for 8 hours and then damaged my Graco adapter. Later I figured out why it damaged it. The converter gets extremely HOT! Thus it heated up the Graco adapter and eventually damaged it. I should have used an extention cord between the converter and adapter.



This product is terrible. There are better (and affordable) converters that do not heat up as much. For example, the 50 Watt converter made by Seven Star Model SS212 works great. I bought this from world gift center for only seven dollars. I use this for my wireless router 24/7 and it has not caused any problems so far. It does not heat up at all. I wish I had bought more of these.



The SMF-200 step down converter is also good but it does heat up a little bit. The good thing is that it provides 200 Watts for electronic equipments. I use this for my Sonicare tooth brush and Graco monitor receiver.

 "dewalt charger" 2010-02-14
By Kris M.
My black and decker cordless battery charger stopped working. I was going to replace it with the same until I read a review. It basically stated that the B&D battery charger would die when a bad battery was placed for recharging. Reading further I found mention of the dewalt charger, same maker as B&D, and it would indicate a bad battery (rather than cease to function). So I felt I was making a very good purchase based on this information. Well, I wasn't wrong. As soon as I recieved it, I put it to work. The battery was charged in less than an hour. I feel it was well worth the purchase price as I had two batteries and the older one was failing. Had I gone with the black and decker, without a battery check, the charger would have died and I would have tossed everything,the drill,the batteries and the charger. I feel I made the best purchase for my situation,and saved a bundle. And, I'm glad I read the reviews before making my purchase.

 "OK, not as good as a std crescent wrench" 2010-02-19
By D. C. Clark (Fairfax, VA USA)
See other reviews - this wrench is too hard to adjust. Takes at least two, maybe three hands to hold everything, adjust, and lock. If it were redesigned to allow a thumb adjust and a finger lock, it would be a winner.



Also, remember that this is a box-end style wrench. Not every bolt or nut can be loosened with it. You'll still need a good old crescent style wrench in the toolbag. So then, you may well ask why you need it...

 "Neat Design, but not as neat funcionally" 2010-02-14
By Dave - Free as Can Be (Franklin, TN)
This wrench is a new angle of an ajustible wrench that has been around for years. The HK1 is designed to fit a nut or bolt by sliding a center piece of the wrench within the formed 3 sided body of the fixed wrench side to add a fourth side that pushes tight against the open side of the wrench. In other words, this wrench will tightly grip a normal six sided bolt or nut by at least 4 sides making a tight fit to tighten or loosen a bolt or nut. I ordered one of these because it looked neat and appeared to be a modern solution to tightening or loosening a bolt/nut. This wrench is not as convienient or as fuctional as a normal adjustible wrench. And, because the sliding action within the wrench that makes up the fourth side is quite stiff, I rate this wrench with 2 stars because it is not as functional as the regular Craftsman or Crescent adjustable wrench. If the sliding part of the wrench worked more smoothly and lightly, I would rate it 1 star higher. Sometimes I get suckered into believing a new design would be superior to the old. This is one of those times. It is just a neat looking idea that does not serve its purpose as well as the simple and cheaper adjustable wrenches on the market. Even though it does not work well in practice, it is still a neat looking tool.
