20V MAX* Stapler Kit for Cables (DCN701D1)

Great and reliable stapler for your basic wires, 10-12-14g (I have not tried to use it on thicker wire). This saves so much time and elbow grease from the old method of hand banging staples. With one wire being secured it will have some movement which is fine and still meets code. If needed you can always take a hammer and drive the staple down a bit further if you want to eliminate any movement though the staples are finer than regular staples (kind of like collated framing nails act a little softer than regular hand driven pennys). When stapling 2 wires, the movement is far less or eliminated altogether. The tool size is fine and easily fits between 16" OC framing. This tool takes your standard 20v battery and I can staple all day on a smaller battery without issue. A design feature to note is a metal piece between the two outer wire boundary guides that requires a wire to push it up further to release a staple, so if you don't get a good connection to a wire or are trying to dry fire it will not work unless you manually push that middle piece up. This is likely a safety feature for the wires you staple. The tool is light which makes going up on ladders and stapling on trusses pretty easy. At times I was looking for a rafter hook, but the little hook it comes with hangs fine on my belt/pants. It fits two racks of staples which are cheap and readily available. My only regret is that I didn't purchase this earlier. It's saved so much time and effort and really makes residential production work much faster. I highly recommend.

Great too I thought it was very pricey when I purchased it, but it was well worth it worked well for the job that I had glad I purchased it

This thing works! The speed at which you can staple an entire run of romex has drastically went down with this fine piece of machinery! I got two and we love them! Fits in most stud spaces. Haven’t stapled through wire due to the safety devices

Somewhat expensive, but works will. I hate nailing overhead, this tool makes it effortless.

Great idea if it worked. It doesn’t. Doesn’t set the staples anywhere near where they should be. And when you try to set them deeper with a hammer they just fold up. I missed my return window so it’s going in the garbage.

There's a safety switch on the ejector head that I wish had adjustable thickness... doesn't work well for anything thinner than romex cable. Also is awkward in some tight spaces. That being said, this really is a time saver and you get a perfect staple every time.

As long as you can fit this big guy into the space, it will staple romex accurately and without risk of compromise. Way more fun than any of my mechanical strapping guns and so far, it has jammed only once and was easily cleared. I will throw my other ones as far as I can. It is not inexpensive, but if you can afford it, you will fly through stapling without much cussing.

I like how the fastener works with two wires, but the stapler doesn’t have the power to set the staple down far enough to staple just one wire (Romex).
