Best Narrow Crown Stapler is the Metabo HPT

It’s the best narrow crown stapler that I’ve ever used, and I’ve been reviewing home improvement tools for more than 20 years. It’s so good that it’s one of the longest surviving go-to tools in our tool arsenal. Originally branded Hitachi, it’s now Metabo HPT.

And I wrote an ode to the tool instead of the regular tool review. Enjoy.

An ode to tools and how-to

Oh, Hitachi narrow crown stapler, thank you for letting me do a tool review of you.

To make matters worse
And maybe a curse
This tool review I’ll do
Will come as a rhyme,
You know, in verse.

Take the modern mantle we made
The Hitachi N3804AB3(s) helped make it A-grade
And installing some casing made of wood
This little gem helped make it look good

Or great.
No wait.
Yes great and without wait.
Loading new staples was a snap.
A powerful drive made my work not look like crap.

From pallets to sheet plastic to casing,
The tool’s speed kept me pacing.
A quick, sharp shot
Slow me down? Nope. Not.

Exhaust: Adjustable
Trigger: Single shot or bump-able

So in my box you will sit and wait,
Hitachi, till the timecomes to be great.
Then out you will fire
Your bits of goodness made of bent wire.

If you liked this review, thank you. And please subscribe to our YouTube channel for more tools and how-to. And fun. We try to have fun.

To be clear: I like the unit. It’s tough, fast, light and fun to use with a loading mechanism that doesn’t pi++ me off—unlike other staplers I’ve owned. Roses are red…I’ll stop now…
