staple gun

Spring-loaded tacker tool

A staple gun is a handheld tool that drives heavy-duty staples into wood, fabric, or other materials with a spring-loaded or pneumatic mechanism.

Unlike office staplers that fold staple ends flat, staple guns embed staples directly: She used a staple gun to reupholster the chair.
