  • Perfect replacement for pneumatic crown stapler
This is more powerful than my pneumatic crown stapler and more convenient since there is no hose, cord, or compressor to deal with.

  • Beast of a tool
Let me start by saying this staple gun is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of DIY tools—solid, a bit hefty, but boy, does it get the job done! When I first unboxed this beast, I had to do a few bicep curls just to prepare myself for the weight. Seriously, if I wanted a workout, I'd hit the gym, not frame my artwork. But once I got past the initial shock (and a few strained muscles), I was ready to conquer my trim and DIY framing projects like a pro. Now, about the bulkiness—it's like holding a mini bazooka, minus the explosions (unless you count my neighbors wondering what I'm building this time). Maneuvering it felt more like directing traffic than precision crafting. But hey, sometimes you need a tool with a presence, right? But let's talk performance. This staple gun doesn't mess around. It's like the Hulk smashing staples into place—loud, proud, and impressively effective. The staples went in smoother than butter on a hot biscuit. No jams, no drama—just sturdy, secure attachments. Battery life? Solid. It lasted longer than my attention span during a DIY project marathon, which is saying something. Plus, reloading was a breeze. Even my cat could do it (if she had opposable thumbs). Despite its heft and bulk, this staple gun is now my go-to for trim and DIY framing. It's like having a dependable sidekick—maybe a bit overenthusiastic, but you know it'll have your back. So, if you don't mind a tool that's a tad beefier than your average staple gun, go ahead and add this bad boy to your cart. Just be prepared to work those muscles while you work your magic. Happy stapling, my DIY comrades! ... show more

  • Use this for many tasks
High quality. Works very well. Takes the place if an 18 gauge nailer as well. Dewalt quality. I love this thing.

  • Narrow crown stapler
Great tool

  • Excellent tool! Better than expected!
This worked great on a big project stapling hardware cloth to a new chicken run. Used 1 1/4" stainless steel staples. It has a fast enough response and consistent driving depth. Yes, a bit bulky and heavy but worth it to not have the compressor and hose to mess with. Long battery life and fairly quiet too. ... show more

  • Makes stapling easy but…
Works great sometimes doesn’t shoot last few staples. It is very heavy so would not recommend for extended overhead use.
