I've just picked up one of these in Lidl, which was now for £11.99. I wanted to check what they were like before opening it as I am going to be using it to staple bubblewrap and nail 6mm mdf to the inside of a shed and wasn't sure if it would go into the wood well because the photos on the box show it in very light use. It looks like it will cope and I shouldn't even have to buy more nails or staples for this one job. Useful video, thanks. Edit and it's done the job of stapling bubble wrap to the shed beams just fine, only occasionally failing when I hit a knot in the wood I couldn't see through the bubble wrap.

Yeah, it's not a heavyweight device, but still handy. I found myself having to hammer in some nails on thicker stuff... but then that's not what it's meant for. Cheers for the update though, that's helpful!

@@ChrisFranklyn No problem. Thanks for the helpful video. I've never had the need to do much DIY over my life due to renting all the time so when people like you do videos like this they are a godsend to people like me who haven't used tools much. All the stapling is done. Some guides said to staple them onto the panels but I put the bubble wrap across each vertical beam and stapled overlapping sheets into the frame. A few went in wrong at the start and sometimes it didn't seem to want to trigger until I got the positioning just right but otherwise it coped fine once I got the hang of it, easily worth the money to line a standard shed on the cheap. The nails do look a little inadequate for shed wood so as you did, I'll probably get others and do those by hand.

Now this nailer/stapler reminded me of my similiar Titan (screwfix) one. I think that was double the price though.

Good to know! Also means I might be able to get more staples and nails for it when it's off season in Lidl :) (I've already got 4 manual staple guns to cope with getting the right size staples!)

For £18 that's not bad. How long were the nails you used? It was just a couple of days ago FixitFingers reviewed a Makita nailer in the £300 price range - I think this one would be more suitable for me... 😁

They were an almighty 15mm! It'll be a handy thing to have around even as a stapler, I'm too much of a wimp to use a normal staple gun without cowering in case I catch my hand in it :)

Ah shit how did I miss this? Like, every time I go to Lidl I have to convince myself that I really don't need that massive £75 welding machine because it would set my accommodation house on fire and loose my deposit...well and my room...and I'd really get in trouble. However, I did once treat myself after finishing a write-up and got a second smaller drill. And a second mini angle grinder. Yeah I have a problem, Lidl is a trap. And evil. I love it.
