Milwaukee M12BST-0 12V Cordless Compact Stapler Body Only, Red

Everyone I work with's new favourite tool. Love it, so glad I got it.So far used for fixing multifoil insulation, breather membrane and 50mm Thermafleece sheep's wool insulation. Used 14mm - 6mm Staples. Works every time. Had it for about 3 weeks now and used maybe 4000 Staples of different sizes. What an effort that has saved. If you are going to do a lot of stapling get one, you won't be disappointed. 2ah 12v batteries last well.

Added to my existing M12 kit and not disappointed at all. Great quality and performance. Drives the long staples in without issue. 1.5Ah Battery lasts for at least 2 hours constant work

Faultless m12 stapler

I do not play well with my tools and owning an electric racing business I know a lot about electrics and batteries.I have to say the punishment I have already given this (stapler/hammer/lever) stapler far exceeded my expectations.I already considered using the cells in one of my car builds but I did not expect such a simple product to perform so well.To be honest I expected to throw it out after the project.This from someone who only uses Milwaukee for the last few years.

Great Stapler Kit.. The kit consists of the M12 Crown Stapler,1- ion battery charger, 2- M12 battery packs, and. a nice carry bag. The unit is lighter and easier to use than standard models. The trigger mechanism works very smoothly with a light touch, which I found very nice since the older I have gotten, I have lost some strength in my wrist.The workpiece contact bracket on the front of the stapler base makes it easier to use.. It allows you to place the staple at the exact point you want! Making it very nice when trying to staple wiring, because it prevents you from accidently stapling into the wire! The unit can accommodate several different staple sizes. 1/4, 5/8, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16".Very easy to load. The charger charges a battery in 30-35 minutes. This allows ... MoreGreat Stapler Kit..

Great little tool

The money I have wasted on manual staplers over the years would have bought this 3 times over, they just never drive the staple in far enough. I have only used this on fencing up to now using 14mm staples, every staple is driven in flush without having adjust the depth setting, really happy.

I absolutely LOVE this stapler! As a DIY lady that takes on upholstering projects, I can attest to the needs of a GREAT stapler. And this one deserves some EXTRA kudos for it's powerful (yet CORDLESS) design! So often when I'm doing any sort of upholstering jobs, they often require different sizes of staples, but they also require the ability to drive a staple into what is often, harder older woods that are often found on antique pieces.I just used these to redo one of my Grandmother's side chairs and was pleasantly surprised at the sheer power of this cordless stapler to drive in staples where in the past the ONLY stapler that even came close to working was my air driven staple gun. I don't like having to drag my heavy air compressor out when I'm doing something ... MoreI absolutely LOVE this stapler!

I don't like having to drag my heavy air compressor out when I'm doing something as simple as attaching gimp or double edged trims around a finishing for any upholstery jobs. Using trims often means being able to hide staples by making sure they are driven deeply - this stapler did everything that I needed it to do time after time.The battery seems like it lasts forever - the manual says "1500 staples" per charge, but I know that mine lasted longer before it needed to be recharged. In my case it was a perfect amount of time for me to do trim placement on an entire chair backing, well before both myself and the stapler were ready to call it a day. The stapler is versatile by being able to use 3/8 flat crown staples (1/4" -9/16") sizes. Great for construction and hobby/furnishings as well as any heavy duty crafts!The stapler has a lightweight feel, but still feels VERY rugged in my hands. The Milwaukee quality is without a doubt there in every aspect! Fantastic tool, from a fantastic company! It's ALWAYS been a name I could depend on getting quality time and time again! Excellent kit too as it even comes with a heavyweight tool bag and it's battery and charger. All in one kit that is well worth the investment!

Milwaukee M12 BST-0 12v Cordless Sub Compact Stapler Body Only

Really great bit of kit. I’ve used it for both upholstery and pinning insulation in a roof space and it worked a treat. Really saves the sore hands

Quality product

After years of using the good old stapler that hasn't changed much I made the move to Milwaukee and what a difference it has made.No jammed staples very easy on your hands, had to drop one star on features only because the depth setting wheel takes a while to wind from max to min depth and you can only turn it one click at a time. Apart from that very minor thing it would have had five stars.Very good machine easy to use and set up, battery lasts ages but so far I have a 6ahr battery on so it will obviously last much longer between charges. For roofing this would be idea, I always used a hammer stapler but it can mark even damage the felt. This gun is ideal, you will be very please and with 3 year guarantee you really cant go wrong.

When it works it works well. Faulty batch?

Purchased 2 of these a week ago. I used them for stapling young tree shelters which entails regular stapling at a medium to high frequency into pine. Both machines got through about 2000+ staplers then seemingly stopped working. 2 different light errors (full blinking and the other alternate lights blinking).We have diagnosed:1. No staple jams (using standard galvanised 10mm x 10mm T50 staples)2. Batteries are brand new (2x 3ah and 1x 6ah High output)3. No abuse, we look after our gear4. I am able to reset them SOMETIMES via removing battery and inserting them with striker plate and trigger held down but they'll go for a few staples then stop working again giving the light errors.No information online or in manual about blinking light errors. We've let ... MorePurchased 2 of these a week ago. I used them for stapling young tree shelters which entails regular stapling at a medium to high frequency into pine.

We've let them rest for an hour and then overnight thinking it was an overheating issue but the issue is still there the next day and the next. We got one replaced, same issue again at about 2000 staples in.Faulty batch? Or not as heavy duty as other Milwaukee tools?

Worth it if you already use the 12V batteries.

If you ever need to put a lot of staples into wood etc. this gun will do nicely. It's heavier than I thought it would be, but you get what you pay for. The weight is good at damping out the recoil, so the usually sharp 'slap' on your hand is minimal, meaning not so much user fatigue. The safety feature also works well, so no accidental firings. Hold the trigger down, press the tool to the job in rapid succession and you can staple something very quickly indeed. I highly recommend this staple gun for all major staple jobs, though it is expensive if you only staple something once every few months or so. If you already use the 12V batteries anyway, it's a no brainer.
