Abstract: A manually operated hammer-type stapler for attaching a material to a surface with a tabbed staple includes a staple driver having a staple drive blade moveable along a blade pathway between a raised position to a lowered position; a striker at the distal end of the stapler; an elongated handle extending rearwardly from the staple driver; an elongated staple magazine beneath and parallel to the handle, the staple magazine having a discharge end adjacent the blade pathway to position a staple beneath the driver blade; and an elongated tab magazine parallel to and beneath the staple magazine, the tab magazine having a discharge end adjacent the blade pathway to position a tab beneath the driver blade, whereby the driver blade moves from its raised position to its lowered position when the striker is impacted against the surface to drive a staple through a tab and into the surface.
