Here's the running list of how it performs in different materials: 1) 1/2" staples through 1/8" hardboard into walnut: Staple crowns are driven in contact with the hardboard surface, but not flush. Occasional minor staple leg deformation upon close inspection. 2) 1/2" staples through 1/4" hardwood plywood into pine: Staple crowns are partially embedded in the plywood, but not completely flush with surface. 3) 9/16" staples through metal corner bead into drywall: Staples are hit or miss for penetrating the metal corner bead, but stand proud of the surface up to 1/8". 4) 9/16" staples through drywall into pine: Staple crowns are driven in contact with the drywall surface, but not flush and don't break paper. With careful placement this could work for fixing metal corner bead if you straddle preexisting holes. 5) 9/16" staples into bamboo: Staple crowns are driven in contact with the bamboo surface, but not flush. 6) 9/16" staples into pine: Most staples are flush with surface, a few have their crowns partially embedded in the surface but not completely flush. 7) 9/16" staples into particle board: Staple crowns are in contact with the surface, but not flush. 8) 1/4" staples into MDF: Staple crowns were partially embedded in the surface, but not completely flush.
9/16" staple is way too big for corner bead, and you shouldn't shoot the staple in the middle of a galvanized corner bead, 3/8" staple on the edge will be okay.

Quality tool. Runs forever on one battery. I just bought one for stapling silt fence to hardwood stakes for job site erosion control. We just a mile of fence... A stake every 6' and 5-10 staples a stake= a lot of staples. I think it earned its keep in that job alone. Nice quality review. Thank you for the time and effort.
I saw this at Home Depot today. Your first two tests were fairly extreme and it did well. Far better than my manual Arrow stapler. I've put it on my Amazon tool wish list.
hammer tackers, more reach, faster, safer for tyvek and ice and water shield, if theres a misfire you can use the dide like a hammer. screw regular stapleguns though, this thing is cool.
I just snagged this as part of one of the buy a battery get a tool free deals at Home Depot tonight. I have a bunch of insulation to hang in the garage and basement. Looking forward to this bugger keeping my arm from getting too tired. I have one of the manual Arrow guns. I just know this is going to soooo much better. Thanks for your review and going over everything.
Good question - I hadn't factored that into performance. The staples I've used with it are angled points for 1/4" long, and flat points for 1/2" and 9/16".
This thing is great, prefer this to a hammer tacker for doing building paper. Marginally slower, I think, but it does a nice job sinking everything perfectly flush, and lets you do nice, quick work on corners and such.
This stapler as I noted in my review on it is more suited for Stapling down insulation or Tyvek or other kind of sheeting.... for other applications such as Wood I sometimes use a stapler but i use my Ryobi 18 V narrow crown stapler.... givin The width of the narrow crown staple it drives in much better too hard surfaces... not to mention it is being driven in with an 18 V versus a 12 V....They both have a specific applications that they are going to be best for
Good point - the staple location is marked pretty well to allow for accurate placement, but it would take a lot longer to line the holes up. Or you could use metal mesh or vinyl corner bead and you wouldn't have any trouble at all.
Good to know - I thought it might be too tedious to do so, but it sounds like you make it work. The stapler allows for pretty good placement, so it should definitely work for using the holes along the edge.
Will this stapler take the larger Milwaukee 12 volt 4.0 AH battery? The part that is inserted into the tool is the same, but there is extra battery that hangs off to the side. I have both batteries and so far all three of my Milwaukee tools will take both batteries.
Hi, thanks for posting your review. Could I request that you fire in some 6mm/ 1/4" staples into some MDF please. I would like to know if they will fire in flush before I go out and buy one. Thanks.
I didn't have any scraps of MDF lying around - I think I just threw out a ton a month ago! I did test this on a scrap of bamboo though, and it sunk a 9/16" staple so the crown was completely in contact with the surface, but not embedded in it. Bamboo is slightly softer than some published values I could find for MDF, so it most likely won't get it sub-flush in MDF, but it has a good chance of sinking it without leaving it proud.
I dug up a scrap of MDF! For a 1/4" staple, the crown of the staple was halfway embedded in the surface on max power mode, but not completely flush. The scrap was only 1/4" thick though, so I couldn't test any bigger staples.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to test that for me, much appreciated. 1/4" is perfect as that's all I ever use into MDF. Its pretty much for making 'glassed resined car stuff like door trims, consoles etc. I have an old Ryobi P300 that I use for this and it can't quite sink them into MDF either so I guess I might as well stick with it. Again, thanks for taking the time.
I would appreciate your opinion on how this might work for staple on awnings, where you have to fire into an aluminum extrusion through a groove and how's the accuracy for upholstery ...thanks!
It depends on the thickness of the aluminum, so I can't really say anything definitively for that application. The accuracy is pretty good - it just takes a little practice. The staples come out about 1/8" lower than the bump fire actuator so there's a little bit of guesswork for vertical alignment, but it's perfect for lateral alignment.
@@stitchthisditchthat259 my helper was using it a bit too quick and fried it, I eventually just started using an air compressor/pneumatic but the thing was good for smaller jobs
What if you put your other hand on top of the staple gun wouldn't that allow it to penetrate harder surfaces? I need one to do atv seats which is in plastic I tried a non power stapler with no luck I hope this works.
Pushing on the back will give it the best performance, but it will only do so much. The Ryobi 18V stapler I also reviewed is actually a little more powerful for hard materials, but it's heavier and doesn't have bump fire mode.
@@DoresoomReviews well I ordered the m12 we shall see I'm sure it will go through the plastic there is probably better quality staples to try as well we shall see.
What is the difference or should I say the differences between thev 18 volts and this 12 volts,from what you said here this 12 volts can use different staple sizes,is it the same with the 18 volts because if I am not mistaken the 18 volts is called the narrow stapler.I really need this information so that I don't end up buying the wrong tool.I have bought lots of Milwaukee tools and I want to add this to the collections.I look forward to hearing from you.
The 18V narrow crown staples shoots staples that are made with thicker 18 gauge wire, 1/4" wide and up to 1.5" in length. This staple shoots 3/8" wide T-50 staples that are made with flat wire and only up to 9/16" in length.
No, this isn't powerful enough for those applications, and the staples won't be long enough. You want a 1/4" narrow crown stapler or a trim nailer for those applications.
I don't know if they'll be a regularly stocked item in stores, but I'm seeing them available right now on the HD website with a "Ship to Store" option arriving between late October/early November.
Depends what type - it made it about 1/16" into solid polycarbonate, but sank flush below the surface into 1/8" thick foamed PVC into pine. I didn't have any other scrap plastic on hand.
I do low voltage and use the round head crown staples and think they really missed out not including that I see they have the gun with a small and big battery and charger for like $110 today on the home Depots site but that's mostly what I use them for and occasionally some brad nails which it also doesn't appear to accept
I've used this stapler for low voltage wires a few times, but I always have to "float" it with the safety nose just touching the wire, and hope that I get it tight enough to hold but loose enough not to damage the wire. You could probably make a nose guide to get the right distance consistently (maybe 3D printed), but you'd still be stuck using T50 staples, which is the only thing this shoots.
I think a 23 gauge pin nailer would be the best tool for that job, not this stapler. Milwaukee actually just announced they're coming out with one on the M12 platform too.
I've used it for low voltage cables, but it's not ideal. You have to dial the depth way back and kinda float it in front of the cable. It's a little dicey - you may end up breaking the insulation and causing a short. If you need to do Romex, the 3/8" staples aren't big enough, and you'll need something like the DeWalt cable stapler.
Okay thanks...I used to use a old fashioned stapler with rounded staples and it worked for things like 18 or 22 awg cables so I was wondering if this can do the same
This has a contact safety that will prevent it from firing unless you have it pressed firmly against a workpiece. Push it hard against the surface you want to shoot into. Also, if the surface isn't solidly supported, you need to brace it from behind with something heavy to keep it from moving.
True, but you've got to take a lot more time to place your shots carefully that way. The Ryobi 18V T50 stapler can shoot through the metal no problem though.
Thanks! I've got a review coming up on the Packout 10" tool tote and one of the compact organizers, but unfortunately that's all I have of the system right now.
Are you using T-50 staples that have a 3/8" crown width, or are you using 3/8" long narrow crown staples? This won't fit narrow crown staples if that's the case.
Would you be confident with this guy doing light upholstery work? Like replacing a seat cover on a motorcycle, or a leather cover on a center console in a car?
I think so - I haven't used this one for upholstery, but it seems to have more power than the older corded Arrow stapler that I've used for upholstery in the past. Although that was for fabric and not leather.
Out of curiosity, do you think that if the stapler had a 3 or 4 ah battery with the power turned all the way up it would make it through the corner bead?
I just tried it again with max power and a 4Ah battery, still no joy. I think it would work fine with just about any other type of corner bead other than solid metal though, especially with vinyl.
You can, but you'll have to be really careful with placement. I used it to staple some power cords for my battery chargers up out of the way, and found that if you "float" the nose safety on the wire and depress just enough for it to fire, it will work pretty well with a 9/16" staple. However, it takes a lot of time to get everything lined up right - so if stapling wires is your primary application, I think I'd still recommend buying a stapler built for that purpose.
I never do and I almost returned this one, I would be maybe good hanging up some insolation but other than that it has a huge design flaw. If you put the head against a wall or anything it drops the staple about a half inch behind the nose of the tool a stapler should put the staples out as close to the nose as possible, I was trying to staple a threshold down for some hardwood flooring and it couldn't staple the strip no matter how I placed the gun. the little metal safety thing sticking out is also terrible. THIS ONE IS A FAIL BUT SO IS ALMOST ALL MY MILWAUKEE!!! Get DeWalt way better and yes, I have all the major brand cordless tools and use them see for yourself take a 1 5/8 hole saw like for a door handle, and you will see Milwaukee will cut out and make you reset the trigger several times before you get through a door no other tool will give you a problem only Milwaukee will even a Ryobi can do it!
I think the stapler performs fine, but I can see why you might not like the nose design. But I have no idea what you're talking about with a Milwaukee drill not having enough power. I've run a 2" hole saw no problem with my M12 drill. An M18 Milwaukee drill won't even notice you have a 1-5/8" hole saw attached to it.
I bought one of these and was disappointed in it. Does not have enough power to sink a staple in some soft wood. Great for stapling paper on insulation but not much else, so I returned mine got refund.
What kind of wood? Mine sinks staples flush anout 90% of the time in pine, sometimes leaving a very small portion of the crown just proud of the surface.
Do you know if this will fire any small brad nails? I have a manual Bostitch 2 in 1 stapler that will fire either T50 staples or very short brad nails and that is a pretty cool feature.
Are you talking about the P360, or something else? That Ryobi model shoots 1/4" narrow crown 18 gauge staples, while this one shoots 3/8" crown T50 staples. I've heard plenty of good things about the Ryobi though! [Edit]: Or were you talking about the P300, which I'm not sure is manufactured anymore?
An 18ga narrow crown stapler would be much better for doing soffit. You just don't get the length with a 3/8" crown stapler like this one. Up to 1.5" length with a narrow crown stapler vs max 9/16" length for the T-50 staples this one uses.
Not really. The staples aren't big enough to guarantee you don't damage the insulation, and there's no depth stop. I've done some regular 120V flat power cords to ceiling joists with it for ceiling lights, but I had to be super careful the whole time.
I think it's definitely worth the $99 MSRP. I've seen it on sale for as low as $79, or with a free battery thrown in, which makes it a much better deal.
You're right, it should slice through vinyl no problem. I only had the strip of metal corner bead lying around from some repairs I made a few years ago - I'm definitely far from a professional skill level when it comes to finishing drywall.
You are wayyyyyyyyyy too impressed with this thing. Two of the first three tests were total failures and you're saying how great it is. Stopped watching after that. Please make honest reviews. If it's good, say so... If it sucks and is failing, say so.
When I think something sucks, I definitely tell you. Go watch my Ryobi stud finder video, my Kreg 720 video, or my Gen 1 Milwaukee brad nailer video. All examples of brands that are usually great, but put out a dud every once in a while.
It will fire as fast as you can pick it up and place it down again. I figured 5 seconds of normal speed at 7:01 would be enough to give everyone an idea of how fast it can fire without being a bore. If you really want to watch 2 straight minutes of stapling at normal speed, UA-cam lets you play it back at 0.25X speed, which will put the 4X footage back in real time.
Does Ryobi make a One+ stapler that shoots T-50 staples? I'm only aware of the P360, which shoots 18 gauge narrow crown staples, not T-50 staples. Plus, that one costs $20 more and weighs in at 5 pounds bare tool, vs 3 pounds for this stapler.
Yes ryobi has a stapler that shoots out staples and nails. I have it. It's like 8 years old but still works like a champ! Old ryobi batteries suck ass though. Need to get some one plus batteries

Test that on cardboard to wood.
Plus test it sheet vinyl, leather, ( fake) faux leather, thin wood strips, canvas, and insulation materials over wood.
were these the regular staples with a flat point, or the heavy duty ones with slanted sharp points ?
Good question - I hadn't factored that into performance. The staples I've used with it are angled points for 1/4" long, and flat points for 1/2" and 9/16".

Can you use rounded staples for stapling wires/cables without damaging it.
No, this only shoots T50 staples. DeWalt makes the only cordless cable stapler that I currently know of: amzn.to/3iiSmAE
The one I had wouldn't push the last 1/3 or so of the staples, the spring loaded follower would hang up, and no it wasn't the dry fire feature.
I would appreciate your opinion on how this might work for staple on awnings, where you have to fire into an aluminum extrusion through a groove and how's the accuracy for upholstery ...thanks!
It depends on the thickness of the aluminum, so I can't really say anything definitively for that application. The accuracy is pretty good - it just takes a little practice. The staples come out about 1/8" lower than the bump fire actuator so there's a little bit of guesswork for vertical alignment, but it's perfect for lateral alignment.
I need one that shoots 1-1/2 in staples, until then i'll be using the Ryobi which been using professionally for 3 years thing is great for luan.
Do you still use the ryobi?

Would this be idea for Eaves,baseboard,door casing and trim work around the house or should I go with a small nail gun?
No, this isn't powerful enough for those applications, and the staples won't be long enough. You want a 1/4" narrow crown stapler or a trim nailer for those applications.
Hi can you do metal trim over drywall with crown staples rather than normal staples? Thanks
This only shoots 3/8" flat crown staples (T50), which is what I was using in the video.
Ok thanks. Country difference = different terms for staples. Nice vid👍

I've used it for low voltage cables, but it's not ideal. You have to dial the depth way back and kinda float it in front of the cable. It's a little dicey - you may end up breaking the insulation and causing a short.
If you need to do Romex, the 3/8" staples aren't big enough, and you'll need something like the DeWalt cable stapler.
Okay thanks...I used to use a old fashioned stapler with rounded staples and it worked for things like 18 or 22 awg cables so I was wondering if this can do the same
Great tool for insulation! Definitely buying this.
I tried using this reupholstering a chair and it wouldn't even go through a thin layer of batten. It only fired one in 10 times what am I doing wrong?
This has a contact safety that will prevent it from firing unless you have it pressed firmly against a workpiece. Push it hard against the surface you want to shoot into. Also, if the surface isn't solidly supported, you need to brace it from behind with something heavy to keep it from moving.
I don't think typically you staple though the metal it's more a half on half of and use the holes provided for an easier time 😅
True, but you've got to take a lot more time to place your shots carefully that way. The Ryobi 18V T50 stapler can shoot through the metal no problem though.
Would you say they would work for carpet applications such as installing on a staircase?
I'd use something a little heavier duty than T50 staples for carpet installation, especially on stairs.
Curious if this stapler work OK with PVC sheet. I need one to staple the vertical garden linen against pvc sheet
I've used it with expanded PVC sheets no problem. But I'm not sure if the staples will penetrate well for solid PVC.
You didn't mention what the depth/power setting wheel was set to when you drove the staples so video is pointless
Unless otherwise stated, all was done on max depth setting.
Risenangelicaegis wow what a crybaby
You think this would work to reinforce mitered casing by backstitching your miters?
I'm not sure - I have my doubts about how much hold the T-50 staples would have in that application.
Thanks for the review.👍
Great reviews!! Any chance of getting an overview on Milwaukees new PackOut system?
Thanks! I've got a review coming up on the Packout 10" tool tote and one of the compact organizers, but unfortunately that's all I have of the system right now.
I love my packout system, just picked it up the other day.
Why my tool can not fit 3/8" staples in side?
Fabric diffect!
Are you using T-50 staples that have a 3/8" crown width, or are you using 3/8" long narrow crown staples? This won't fit narrow crown staples if that's the case.
Well for one it can do metal corner bead. You are supposed to use the staples on the holes.
The Ryobi 18V can handle shooting through the metal corner bead. Hitting the holes with the M12 takes a lot more careful placement.
Milwaukee is crushing the game
If it breaks and the screw no longer comes out, how do we fix it?
What can u use to free up the staple housing? It's hard pulling out.
Hi!, nice review. It's capable of shoot nail? Milwaukee like the Staple & Nail Gun (48-22-1010)
+Tallerencasa No, this one just shoots T-50 staples unfortunately.
well, you got a new subscriber. Bye!
How close to the wall can it drive?
If you butt the top of the stapler into the corner, it's 3/8" from where the staple will be driven.
Would you be confident with this guy doing light upholstery work? Like replacing a seat cover on a motorcycle, or a leather cover on a center console in a car?
I think so - I haven't used this one for upholstery, but it seems to have more power than the older corded Arrow stapler that I've used for upholstery in the past. Although that was for fabric and not leather.
I tried using it to replace the seat cover on my motorcycle with limited success. I ended up using a pneumatic stapler that had more umph.
I know this is 6 years ago but would stainless steel staples go thru that metal?
I don't think it's the staple material that's the issue. The Ryobi 18V stapler can shoot the same staples through that corner bead.
@@DoresoomReviews sweet thanks too bad they don't update the stapler and put in a brushless motor
Out of curiosity, do you think that if the stapler had a 3 or 4 ah battery with the power turned all the way up it would make it through the corner bead?

Can you use it on cat 5 and cable wire
You can, but you'll have to be really careful with placement. I used it to staple some power cords for my battery chargers up out of the way, and found that if you "float" the nose safety on the wire and depress just enough for it to fire, it will work pretty well with a 9/16" staple. However, it takes a lot of time to get everything lined up right - so if stapling wires is your primary application, I think I'd still recommend buying a stapler built for that purpose.
I never do and I almost returned this one, I would be maybe good hanging up some insolation but other than that it has a huge design flaw. If you put the head against a wall or anything it drops the staple about a half inch behind the nose of the tool a stapler should put the staples out as close to the nose as possible, I was trying to staple a threshold down for some hardwood flooring and it couldn't staple the strip no matter how I placed the gun. the little metal safety thing sticking out is also terrible. THIS ONE IS A FAIL BUT SO IS ALMOST ALL MY MILWAUKEE!!! Get DeWalt way better and yes, I have all the major brand cordless tools and use them see for yourself take a 1 5/8 hole saw like for a door handle, and you will see Milwaukee will cut out and make you reset the trigger several times before you get through a door no other tool will give you a problem only Milwaukee will even a Ryobi can do it!
I think the stapler performs fine, but I can see why you might not like the nose design. But I have no idea what you're talking about with a Milwaukee drill not having enough power. I've run a 2" hole saw no problem with my M12 drill. An M18 Milwaukee drill won't even notice you have a 1-5/8" hole saw attached to it.
this is cool! i was wondering what kind of funky not-another-drill tools i could add to my M12 bag, and this is definitely going on the list. thx!
I bought one of these and was disappointed in it. Does not have enough power to sink a staple in some soft wood. Great for stapling paper on insulation but not much else, so I returned mine got refund.
What kind of wood? Mine sinks staples flush anout 90% of the time in pine, sometimes leaving a very small portion of the crown just proud of the surface.
I wanna see how well it does rubber
Sorry, I don't have any scrap rubber on hand. I imagine it wouldn't have any trouble with it though.
I've seen enough. Buying it now.
Was it worth 100?
Do you know if this will fire any small brad nails? I have a manual Bostitch 2 in 1 stapler that will fire either T50 staples or very short brad nails and that is a pretty cool feature.
Staples only for this one unfortunately. I was a little surprised it couldn't handle brads too, since the manual Milwaukee stapler can do both.
Bummer still looks like a great tool and thanks for the great review!
Ryobi came out with the first crown stapler 7 years ago. I still have mine and it works great.
Are you talking about the P360, or something else? That Ryobi model shoots 1/4" narrow crown 18 gauge staples, while this one shoots 3/8" crown T50 staples. I've heard plenty of good things about the Ryobi though! [Edit]: Or were you talking about the P300, which I'm not sure is manufactured anymore?
Thanks for the review
Best tool I invested in
thanks... milwaukee has bumb mode as I see but can't staple aluminium profile...
Does this take JT21 staples?
It's only compatible with T50 staples.
Can doing soffit and fascia board with this stamolr gun
An 18ga narrow crown stapler would be much better for doing soffit. You just don't get the length with a 3/8" crown stapler like this one. Up to 1.5" length with a narrow crown stapler vs max 9/16" length for the T-50 staples this one uses.
can you staple Romex with this?
Not really. The staples aren't big enough to guarantee you don't damage the insulation, and there's no depth stop. I've done some regular 120V flat power cords to ceiling joists with it for ceiling lights, but I had to be super careful the whole time.
So it's fully semi automatic
Banned in California 😂
Thanks, now at Home Depot for $139.00! Before I pulled the trigger,☺️ I wanted to see a review of it. I have the m12 charges for my other m12 tools.
Can you use anybody's staples in it
Yes, as long as they're T-50 style staples.
Has anyone used this for Tyvek house wrap doing siding
It should work fine for that. Put it bump fire mode and go to town!
Nice review!
And I only wanted that gun for corner bead 💔
The Ryobi 18V one surprisingly does a lot better! But it doesn't have bump fire mode. I reviewed it here: ua-cam.com/video/US60jW4MurY/v-deo.html
@@DoresoomReviews thanks for responding
What about telco cable
Just got one, love it.
you most likely have not stretched a canvas.it's no big deal once you get the hang of it.i'd like to see how it would go with this stapler.
excellent.
Thank you for the info 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌🍺🍺🍺🍺
Is it even worth 100+????
I think it's definitely worth the $99 MSRP. I've seen it on sale for as low as $79, or with a free battery thrown in, which makes it a much better deal.
It looks like it’s a killer tool.
All the good DRYWALLERs use plastic corner bead. I guarantee it will go through the plastic.. so this baby is perfect !!!
You're right, it should slice through vinyl no problem. I only had the strip of metal corner bead lying around from some repairs I made a few years ago - I'm definitely far from a professional skill level when it comes to finishing drywall.
Brook Anderson you mean all the cheap drywallers underbidding everyone using Mexican laborers to drive down wages use plastic instead of metal
Will you just hurry up and shoot it
You are wayyyyyyyyyy too impressed with this thing. Two of the first three tests were total failures and you're saying how great it is. Stopped watching after that. Please make honest reviews. If it's good, say so... If it sucks and is failing, say so.
When I think something sucks, I definitely tell you. Go watch my Ryobi stud finder video, my Kreg 720 video, or my Gen 1 Milwaukee brad nailer video. All examples of brands that are usually great, but put out a dud every once in a while.
WOW
Sold me
Wow video sucks, the only part I wanted to know was how fast it can go and you fast forwarded it smh waste of time
It will fire as fast as you can pick it up and place it down again. I figured 5 seconds of normal speed at 7:01 would be enough to give everyone an idea of how fast it can fire without being a bore. If you really want to watch 2 straight minutes of stapling at normal speed, UA-cam lets you play it back at 0.25X speed, which will put the 4X footage back in real time.
You sound like a nagging wife!!!
USA sc
I like it but ryobi it's better
Does Ryobi make a One+ stapler that shoots T-50 staples? I'm only aware of the P360, which shoots 18 gauge narrow crown staples, not T-50 staples. Plus, that one costs $20 more and weighs in at 5 pounds bare tool, vs 3 pounds for this stapler.
I mean just use a regular hand stapler for that unless your lazy oh also i just subbed 😄😂👍
Yes ryobi has a stapler that shoots out staples and nails. I have it. It's like 8 years old but still works like a champ! Old ryobi batteries suck ass though. Need to get some one plus batteries
Would this work for doing seats on 4 wheelers? I gotta do a couple a for my kids wheelers. I've never done a seat, but im not afraid to learn either
It should work great for that purpose.
If it breaks and the screw no longer comes out, how do we fix it?
