Many people may think of staplers as office tools used to play with paper. In fact, staplers are a much larger group of tools with various applications. Pneumatic staplers, in particular, are used for everything from installing insulation and roofing fabric to laying down flooring and building fences. The main differences between an office and pneumatic stapler are the source of power — in this case, air power — and the size of the staples.
Makita’s 7/16″ Medium Crown Stapler makes a wonderful addition to any toolbox, be it professional or DIY. It features an aluminum body, cylinder, and staple magazine, making it tough but lightweight and easy to use. The top-loading magazine works with 16-gauge staples between one and two inches in length, allowing users to complete projects ranging from custom decks to basement remodels. Weighing only 4.9 pounds and featuring a reversible belt hook, the gun is highly mobile and built for all-day use that won’t leave you exhausted. It features rubber bumpers to protect both the tool itself and the material you’re working on, as well as a magazine capacity of up to 140 staples for fast-paced work with minimal reloading.
