Yup. Got a hammering when fitting a new hall and stairs carpet with hardboard and underlay and didn't complain.
Staples can be a wee bit hard to find - they seem to be to a Bosch standard. So had to mail order the most useful (to me) sizes. It's a much better tool than the B&D I used before.
Pass.

If it's a mini dv machine, then it records onto tapes and won't have any in-built memory. Tapes typically last an hour and give good results and you get to keep the tape as backup once you've transferred it to PC.

Yep. Have only used it for a couple of small jobs so far, but it seems convincing. It gave the staples a good belt into some hard timber and didn't feel like it was going to knock itself to bits.
Last time round they were also selling boxes of refills for it - I bought a few just in case they're an odd size as some Aldidl things are.

Pete Verdon submitted this idea :
Our local Lidl had the stapler and a big pile of the staples for it.

I didn't look at the staples this time round as I have plenty, but last time they seemed be all rather too long. I found the sizes I wanted elsewhere.

They are a Bosch Typ 55. (that's what's on the box - not type) Found what I wanted by Googling - one of the large tool etc places. Sadly I don't appear to have kept the URL. I wanted shorter ones for fixing underlay, etc. The Lidl ones were all rather long.
