Overview
The 3PLUS H7116SP is a pneumatic upholstery stapler firing 22 gauge staples with a 3/8 inch crown, built for attaching fabric, foam backing, and trim rather than framing work. At 0.94 kilograms it is light enough for extended one-handed use.
Its 22 gauge wire and 3/8 inch crown place it at the lighter end of pneumatic staplers, suited to upholstery and craft fastening rather than heavier carpentry staples. Because it runs on compressed air, output depends on having a compressor and hose on hand, not a battery.
- Pneumatic upholstery stapler
- 22 gauge staple wire
- 3/8 inch crown width
- 0.94 kilogram, about 2 pound, body
Who it's for
Upholsterers, furniture repair shops, and DIYers reupholstering chairs or building fabric-backed panels are the intended users. Anyone needing a heavier gauge staple for fencing, roofing, or structural fastening should look elsewhere in the line.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light 0.94 kg body for overhead work
- Pneumatic power stays consistent staple to staple
- 22 gauge sized for fabric and foam
- Requires an air compressor to operate
- 22 gauge crown not rated for heavy materials
Performance notes
As a pneumatic tool it fires off shop air rather than a battery, so drive force stays consistent from the first staple to the last as long as compressor pressure holds. The 3/8 inch crown and 22 gauge wire are sized for upholstery fabric and foam, not thicker material. At 0.94 kilograms the body is light enough to hold overhead or at odd angles during long upholstery jobs.
