Model TRE550 staple gun. Why has it stopped working?
In my limited experience the common fault with this type of staple gun is the safety lockout that prevents operation unless the stapler is pushed against a surface - the ones I have seen are flimsy and poorly constructed as if they are a complete afterthought and added by a junior in the drawing office...
I have a very old Bostitch staple gun Model T5.
You should not need any tools to lift the guard/nose piece. The T5 nose piece cleary has engraved on it "Pull Up To Insert Staples". To remove old staples, use a pencil or similar rod to depress the hammer/striker above the staples while the nose is open.
How to fix the spring in my Stanley electric stapler tre550
- Step #1 - The first step would be to release the trigger and then unplug the device. If you notice that your gun is jammed, never try to dislodge it by repetitively pulling the trigger. The internal safeties of some models are capable of preventing the device from firing. Once you've released the trigger, unplug your corded model, and turn off the switch if the gun has one. If you're an owner of an electric model, on the other hand, you can simply remove the battery pack. Similarly, the pneumatic staple guns should be released from the air hose.
- Step #2 - Now would be the time to remove the staple clip. Most models have a small release lever that's located at the bottom of the magazine, which you should pull and see the magazine get unclipped. After that, you can pull on the magazine until it's disconnected from the tool.
- Step #3 - The next step is to take the needle-nose pliers and remove the staples. Some jams will be caused by the failure of staples to get properly ejected from the magazine - they might even be squashed by the other staples in the magazine. In other cases, the staple has left the magazine but only partially, and is stuck in the gun's opening. No matter what your particular situation is, take a pair of pliers and pull out the staple from the place it's stuck at. Do it gently as hasty action might cause damage to the magazine.
- Step #4 - As we said, the discharge area is another place where the staples might get stuck at. For some models, you won't have to use the pliers - a tap on the base of your model might be capable of clearing the jammed staple. Check the user manual to find out if your model can do this.
Will a STANLEY TRE550 eletric heavy duty STAPLER penetrate lead flashing then 8ply wood
on my bay window ROOF
I don't know but I think the lead would be the easiest part to penetrate but why would you want to?
Well formed lead flashing is usually pointed into a mortar joint of the brickwork or a groove cut into masonry with a disc cutter and then the weight of the lead keeps it in place, especially if it is well bedded onto a few beads of a modern adhesive.
The constant movement of lead due to temperature changes mean firm fixing isn't a good long term choice - holes elongate and allow moisture ingress and nails work loose.
If the lead must be fixed then galvanised clout nails provide the best option, ensuring each row of nails is covered by the next layer of lead and there is enough slope to ensure good water runoff and prevent capillary action being a factor when after a few years of moss growth and frost some of the lead begins to lift a little.

If thats not a option take a thin strip of teflon tape and wrap in around head valve once then put old oring over it. Grease or oil , put cap back on and test fire. Should be good to go .

How do i control the depth the nail shoots in a bostitch coil nailer
The bostitch nailer pictured along along with your question is a RN46 roofing coil nailer. It has a dial on the front of the nose for adjusting depth. Some older nailers (roofing nailers) do no have a means of adjusting so were set at the factory for best performance. The question of depth usually comes up when lower bumper fails and the nail is driven too deep. Easy test. Remove nails and find a very soft piece of wood. Dry fire the gun against soft wood and measure how deep the driver is entering the wood. Harder test. Remove the head and use any handy tool to push driver down to bottom. Measure how far the driver extends past nose (should be about 1/8 to 3/16). If more, replace the lower bumper. Good luck
