I wish it had a stop to let you know when you are out of staple though. Lets be up front, my review is based on a 68.00 investment. I picked this tool up about a year and a half ago for about half price on Amazon. I use the tool only occasionally and it has worked perfectly every time. Mine also came with a good quality carry case. The tool has no sharp edges to mess up your finish work, the weight is light enough, depth of drive is easily adjusted with a push button, the magazine opens easily and smoothly and you can view the last of the staples as you finish a strip.
I like the light weight and the staples feed very well. The safety nose piece tends to stick on accasion hence 4 stars but I'm satisfied with it.
I purchased this item from Amazon and paid far less than anything from the Big box stores. Dewalt makes great air tools I will definetly try them again. The stapler came in a very nice case with all the stadard parts.it has preformed flawlessly and exceeded my expetations. After I purchased this Amazon dropped the price 10.00 more dollars which they quickly credited back what a deal.
This tool comes with NO air fitting. The better tools in this class are oil-free. And for good reason. The better tools also have a belt hook, which the DeWalt doesn't.Yes, this tool is inexpensive. This stapler requires daily oiling, which is not stated in the Amazon description nor on the DeWalt website. You need to go buy an air nipple before you can use it. Do yourself a favor and buy a better tool.DeWalt also did not answer my email and does not have a phone number listed for customer support/information. Again, the better tools in the class come with a swiveling air fitting.
The tool is solid and performs well in limited situations. I'm not disappointed with it because I knew its limitations beforehand. Its narrow staple works well for attaching wood and other stiff materials to wood. I found it ill suited for attaching felt to wood.
