Why Choose This Tool?
-
Perfect for installers who work in tighter spaces like stair risers, upholstery, and carpet tack-strip zones — the long-nose and one-hand ready design support rapid workflow.

Electric power means you skip the compressor setup, reduce noise and suppression issues, and gain consistent staple drive without compressor flow variation.
-
Reliable build and narrow-crown stapling help deliver professional results on fabric, carpet, tack strip, and upholstery applications.
Things to Know Before Buying
-
This is a corded electric tool — ensure you have job-site power access and consider cord length/access for your workflow.
-
Make sure your staple inventory matches the 5400-series narrow-crown (3/16″ crown) staples and that your material thickness fits the 3/8″–9/16″ leg length range.
-
While electric operation removes the need for compressor, operator ergonomics still matter — extended use still calls for breaks, rotation or job-tool strategy.
-
The tool is optimized for carpet/ upholstery/ stair-work environments; if you are stapling heavy pallets, thick crates or structural substrate, a pneumatic or wider-crown model may be better suited.
-
As always, proper use and maintenance help prolong tool life — check staples for compatibility, keep the nose clean, and store properly when not in use.
