Why Choose This Tool?
-
Ideal for one-handed electric stapling in environments where pneumatic air supply isn’t available, such as upholstery shops, stair finishing, and light wood fabrications
-
Excellent for access-challenged jobs thanks to the short tool height and long cord
-
Strong build and high performance mean it’s more than a casual tool—built for serious finishing tasks
Things to Know Before Buying
-
Requires a reliable electrical outlet and proper extension cable if used far from power—this is not battery powered
-
Ensure your staple inventory matches the ½″ crown and ¼″-9⁄16″ leg-length specification for best performance
-
While the magazine capacity is 84 staples, very high-volume jobs may still benefit from faster-reload or pneumatic systems
-
Though lighter than many pneumatic tools, operator ergonomics matter—frequent use still warrants job-rotation or breaks
