SADDLE BROOK, NJ – Arrow Fastener Company, LLC, a leading manufacturer in manual, electric and brad nail fastening tools for the professional building trades and do-it-yourself markets, has introduced its new T50 Elite™ professional manual staple gun and 1” (25mm) brad nail gun. The T50 Elite™ staple gun marks the latest generation in high performance fastening tools from Arrow Fastener.

The most recent evolution of the company’s best selling T50® heavy duty staple gun, the T50 Elite™ staple gun will arrive in stores nationwide in July 2011. The T50 Elite™ staple gun is one of the first manual tackers on the market capable of firing up to a 1” (25mm) brad nail. It features U.S. Patented Drive Technology that enables the user to set a staple or nail right on virtually any surface. It also offers up to 60 percent more power than the T50® staple gun, which makes it more versatile on the jobsite. Professionals and DIY’ers alike will appreciate that the T50 Elite™ staple gun is easier to squeeze than the T50® staple gun which results in less fatigue so they can keep working longer and they will also enjoy the versatility of a built in wire guide to aid in the installation of low voltage wiring.

The T50 Elite™ staple gun builds directly upon the pedigree established by Arrow Fastener’s classic T50® staple gun which will remain available in stores nationwide.

“The T50 Elite™ staple gun is quite possibly the most complete multi-use fastening tool ever produced for the DIY market,” said Bill Sokol, Vice President of Marketing for Arrow Fastener. “It is a sleek, attractive product that elevates the chrome look of the classic T50® to a new level with patented drive technology, more power, easier squeeze and more versatility. The T50 Elite™ staple gun was crafted with input from DIY’ers in an effort to build the ultimate homeowners tool. It works as good as it looks.”

The T50 Elite™ staple gun also features a high and low power switch that allows users to adjust when working with hard or soft surfaces. Professionals will also appreciate the quick load magazine that allows them to efficiently re-load when they’re in the middle of a job.

A jam resistant mechanism means less downtime and an ergonomic soft rubber grip delivers the highest standard of comfort.
