Cordless Staplers

Cordless Staplers are a versatile tool for onsite production. Having to drag an electrical extension cord across a ballroom to install curtains on a chuppah cost time plus it creates a safety hazard, the last thing you want is someone tripping over a cord. There are several companies of Cordless Staplers on the market, like any product you can purchase cheap ones that do work but my experience shows that they give out and have to be replaced. This little Stapler is the perfect gun for small applications in the shop, great for fabrics.


This leads me to recommend the Arrow CT50K. It has a 10.8V lithium ion rechargeable battery with means 1500 staples per charge. I pack an extra charged battery along just incase I need an extra few pops. Arrow Staples are easily found at Home Depot and this bad boy uses T50 staples ranging from 1/4" to 8/16". The gun has a LED white light that guilds you to point where you want to place the staple.


Available through Tools Plus for about 120 bucks

For an additional $85 bucks you can upgrade to the mighty Makita BST221Z 3/8" Crown Stapler. For heavy production applications. This gun easily sinks 7/8" T50 Staples for that extra bite. The 18V battery makes power not an issue. Fairly light weight, 5 pounds, it's handle design makes this gun easy to handle.


Also available at ToolsPlus for $185 without battery and charger. Remember to buy an additional battery to leave in the charger, you don't want to stall production because you forgot to recharge.
