I made a quick video demonstrating how to set up the gun and how to use it.
I made a little video showing how to set up and use the tagging gun. It was much easier than I anticipated. It's as simple as: 1. Turning the dial on the side to the 3 o'clock position. 2. Inserting the needle with the hollow side lined up with the opening on the gun (opposite side of the dial) 3. Turning the dial back to the 9 o'clock postion. 4. Inserting the plastic pieces with the lower case "T" side into the gun, pushing them in until they can't go anymore. 5. Put the paper tag on the needle or holding the paper tag with the hole lined up with where you want the barb/plastic piece to go in. 6. Pierce through the paper tag and the tag on the clothes until it comes out on the other size or where you want the back end of the barb to be (sometimes you can get it between layers if you want, but it's a little tricky). If there is no tag I try to line it up with a stitched seam so the hole blends in better. 7. Pull the trigger and then pull the gun away. The tag should be placed and ready. 8. Sometimes when I'm starting a new strand I have to pull the trigger twice to like prime the gun, but I think that's only if I don't get the strand pushed down in the gun enough. I find it easier to write on the tag before placing it so I'm not writing over clothes. I bought this because I was tagging about clothing 300-500 items for a garage sale. I have tried a few methods to sell clothes in the past. I've used stickers, but they fall off. I've done boxes with each box having certain priced items ($1 items in one box, $3 in a another), but people don't want to dig through boxes. I've done it where I don't price anything and have people ask for prices, but some people are too shy to ask or don't want to take the time. Having prices on each item this year was awesome. I had price ranges from free to $20 Lululemon outfits. It made a huge difference having this. I made a cardboard sign that said "clothing prices on tag" and on the reverse side it said "clothing half off" for later in the day. I had so many shoppers compliment my organization and say my garage sale was their favorite. I look forward to using this gun for a semi annual consignment sale I participate in. Prior to this I was safety pinning tags on clothes, that is a huge pain. I highly recommend this gun. You can see in my picture I had a ton of clothes, but in reality that was only about half of what I did! I still had baby, kids and men's items that aren't pictured. This worked like a champ for all of it.
