General Discussion / Help with Craftsman staplegun
« Last post by amecks on May 03, 2025, 07:32:40 PM »Hi. I was using this Craftsman staplegun today and used up all the 3/8" staples. I finished the job but would like to get some more staples. I'm having trouble finding staples - the part number of the gun and the part number of the staples aren't helping me. I'm not getting results that I can trust from my online searches.
It's an older Craftsman staplegun, the black one with the red vinyl coated lever that you pull up to handle (not push down). It works really well. I've identified the gun as part number 9KT6847. I believe the staples I was using were Sears 2 74403, 3/8 long and 1/2 width.
Any advice on finding staples that will work?
Thanks
Al

It's 10 1/4" long.
I'm in the UK, but it could well be imported.
There are some markings in the casting, but I'm struggling to make them out.
On one side, my best guess is "PAT J&W ?? 1878" and on the other, "JAN 9.1877" but it could be almost anything.
Thanks very much

I told the estate sale guy okay, as long as tool box itself is free. I promised my wife I wouldn't buy another tool box.
