This is a great tool for lightweight around-the-house projects.  It takes small nails and staples (some of each are included; more can be purchased at stores like Home Depot or online on sites like Amazon, Walmart, etc).  Whether you need to reupholster the ugly barstools that have been calling your name for the past three years or tack something to wood, this is a wonderful tool to have because it's lightweight and doesn't take up a ton of space.  It is roughly the size of a regular staple gun, but unlike a regular gun, you won't have to apply lots of hand pressure to use it - this task, depending on the staple gun, can be difficult for women and seniors but is a breeze with this 4V Cordless!  On / Off switch is conveniently located on the bottom of the handle. Charge by USB.  Chances are you can use your cell phone charger if you dislike the included charger.
