Man, I never would have expected a $1.25 electric tool from Dollar Tree to be a piece of junk.
/s
Seriously though, the Dollar Tree website says they are $30 for a box of 24.
Adam
Do remember, that $1.25 is fairly recent. A majority of those sold were only $1. The glue I buy isn’t even that cheap
Brandon B.
I was not aware of the SafeRacks recall, thank you! This is an especially dangerous one, too… I’ll be checking on that as soon as I get home.
Jorn
Thanks for the heads-up.
I have quite a few of those HF Roller Seats and need to check them out now.

Is there a Cordless Carton Stapler yet? The market is huge!
Jared
😄 I’ve been hanging around this website long enough to realize how badly you must want this. I’m pretty sure you pop in every few months to remind everyone there’s no carton stapler yet (https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/5-best-new-cordless-tools-2017/%3C/a%3E , https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/sk-hand-tools-sale-rumor/%3C/a%3E%29.
Somebody hurry up and make this fellow a carton stapler already. Good luck Luckey!
Luckey Dodge
Hi Jared,
Yes, this cordless carton stapler can be used by so many small home businesses (reduces some vinyl tape). If Ryobi makes it, it will be safe to use.. And every Office Supply (Staples and Office Max).. and Home Depot and Lowes and FED-EX can sell it to the retail market. And lastly, there is no cord or air hose needed! Think of safety!
Regards,
Luckrey

lol Agreed. I wished Dewalt would make more different stuff like ryobi. Love my Flexvolt but want more cool stuff for it . Dewalt. Where’s my Flexvolt power stack battery?

Luckey Dodge
Thanks for all the comments…….I am hoping for Ryobi, but who knows what make it my finally be………I have contacts in C_H_I_N_A………….but so for they do not make one there……..A little afraid to source it there……………

That Harbor Freight roller seat. I had a shop from 2013 to 2020. That seat separation was a regular occurrence! I always just figured I put it together wrong 🙂
The real problem is the wheels-they break off! Although the seat separation was always jarring-you don’t want that post hitting where the sun don’t shine. I must have gone through 6 or 7 of these units. In 2019 I bought a nice Craftsmen one for $50 and never had any problems with it (still don’t). I still have one of the HF units left on my back patio-I’ll exchange it this week. Love a freebie!
