I got it for $67 bare tool and returned it. I didn't consider this a real upgrade from my (manual) DeWalt 5-in-1 multitacker or, for rapid stapling, better than a hammer tacker. I really wanted it to work out but it didn't. Don't be fooled that this might substitute for a narrow gauge stapler—it's a lot cheaper for good reason. Anyway, I'm sure this is a good tool for some applications, but it's pretty niche.

I'm personally waiting for a nailer
That being said, this price is not slick.

For me, I didn't find it an upgrade over a manual stapler because its size made it less accessible and it didn't seem any better at driving the staples into hard substrates. I will certainly acknowledge that you're going to get fatigue with a manual stapler if you are laying down a lot of staples. For repetitive stapling, I find a hammer tacker faster, although it is not as accurate (at least at my skill level).
The main points are really wanted to make are 1) the utility is fairly limited to stapling roofing felt, upholstery fabric or the like - it's not going to replace a narrow crown stapler (but maybe that point is obvious), and 2) if you're not in a hurry to buy this, it's likely you'll find a better deal if you wait..
