Nice stapler!
By John Rossi on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024
Purchased mostly for my wife to staple landscape fabric for the raised bed. I have a pneumatic stapler/nailer but cordless is more convenient in this type of application. Depth adjustment is great but does take a few staples to get the depth needed based on material and not too deep to go through fabric. I also like that this has a bump fire option. Based on my application, doesn’t really need to be all “that” neat as most of them will be covered by dirt. The 12v battery does seat very tight and some people may have difficulty removing as it does take a bit a strength to squeeze to pull out battery. I would never recommend “slamming” the battery home on any tool as it may bend the male pin and then you’ve got something to fix, if it didn’t break. I like the alignment function and it will not fire a staple until depressed. Where you have it aligned is where the staple will go. So, this will make fastening low voltage wiring pretty seamless and easy. Keep in mind that this will only take 3/8” wide crown (t150) staples. You are limited on how long the staples can be as well. I believe the ones I used are 3/8” long as well (not sure though). It did make quick work this my current project, especially with the bump fire option. Even at a bare tool price of over $100, it will last for many years. I used a 1.5AH battery, on a 4’x8’ raised bed and used a 50’ roll of fabric. Likely used little over 75 staples and didn’t lose full state of charge at all. Have to say this would last over 1000 staples before battery change. I would recommend this stapler as part of your cordless tool arsenal based on convenience and performance.

Not for tight spaces
By AgentH2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024
I checked out the video reviews before buying this stapler and thought it was a great choice. Owning many other M12 tools I was anxious to try it out. It was needed to install some under floor heating mats between floor joists. Working on my knees or on my back means I have no leverage for a hand stapler and the hammer tackers would likely damage the heating pads. This tool turned out to be a disappointment. First it only drives staples when the heel end of the staple is flush with the work surface. It will not work if you are not working on a nice flat surface. Second, the nose of the stapler is much wider than the staples making it difficult to guage where to place the stapler to get staples located properly. Third, the staples drive back 1/4" or more from the nose. This also makes staple location a guessing game. Forth, the channel you drop the staples into is not smooth and has edges that catch the staples causing them to twist and have to be dumped out and reloaded. Not fun on a crawl space. Fifth, the tool is heavy and poorly balanced. This appears to be an after thought tool thrown into the M12 line. Keep in mind I was using this in a tight, dark location working at odd angles and around wiring, plumbing, and floor joists. It really revealed the design flaws. If you work in a brightly lighted location, standing where you can get the tool flat on the work surface and apply pressure maybe this will work for you. For me it will likely be a wall decoration.
