Why Unloading Your Arrow Staple Gun Is Important!

While you are working on a big project, you might have to load your staple gun more than once. But when you are done for the day or have finished that particular job, it is good for your stapler to be unloaded in the end. There are multiple reasons behind this.

Durability

If your staple gun has got a spring that generates tension for you to do the stapling, it might get worn out if you keep the staples on the tool even after you are done. So if you keep doing this for a long period, the spring might not generate the same pressure as it did when you first bought it.

And if the spring is worn out, you will face issues like jamming or no firing at all. 

Safety

Now if you have got kids back at your home, it is always risky for you if you keep the extra staples loaded on the tool. 

So you can just unload the staples when you are done. And don’t worry. You don’t need a full row of staples to install in your staple gun. Though this might cause you some extra effort, you can save a little money with it.
