Top 10 construction staplers

Inexpensive stapler with a metal case and adjustment of the force of the blow, which can be forgiven for flaws in the assembly and possible breakdowns at least for the price: much cheaper! By the way, they didn’t regret the metal in it - it weighs even a little more than “Bosch”. The stapler works only with type 53 brackets - perhaps it is now the most popular standard size, so there will always be work for Stayer. In addition, it works with short 4-mm, and with long 14-mm - just a fit shot.

Reliability and quality are logical for this price. It’s not worth waiting for a big resource from him, although it may be lucky here: the Chinese is random - it’s like that. But, at least, for home use it will be enough for a long time, and professionals with large amounts of work still prefer power tools.

This mechanical stapler, alas, occupies only the last place in the ranking. For its price, it is minimally functional - it works only with 11.3-mm brackets with a length of 6 to 10 mm. But, on the other hand, he has excellent ergonomics.And due to the weight (metal only “power stuffing”, the outer part of the body is plastic, which made it light), and due to comfortable rubber pads on the handle and lever. In his hand, he sits perfectly, the stroke at the lever is soft, without bites and failures.

Such staplers can be attributed to amateur - with all the advantages of plastic, it is much more sensitive to mechanical stress. If the all-metal stapler will calmly survive the many blows and falls, the Black + Decker plastic will require more careful handling.

A very easy-to-use stapler - the “boshevtsy” usually work seriously on ergonomics, so even though this is a “green” rather than a “blue” series, Bosch can like it. The DuoTac mechanism applied here allows a single movement of the switch to go from driving a single clip to a double one. The impact force regulator is conveniently located, it is always available for a free hand. Handle - with high-quality vibroprotective pad. In addition, the stapler is also very light for its class - 1.1 kg with an empty magazine.

Staples are used "fifty-third", also a stapler can work with nails. His performance is at a good level - 30 beats per minute, well, and if we are talking about working with double staples, he will definitely be ahead of the staplers who do not have the similar possibility of a “double blow”.

The level of vibration and noise during operation is moderate; with prolonged use, the stapler does not tire. However, please note that he needs to regularly give "smoke breaks" - this is directly stated in the instructions.

Well, well, ka ... Yes, in front of us is the twin brother "Hammer", differing in appearance only in coloring! And the power is the same - 2 kilowatts.

However, the differences between these two models are not only in the color of the plastic and the name. “Bison” noticeably loses in “rate of fire” - its mechanism provides only 20 beats per minute, not 30. The stapler itself is almost 500 grams lighter, so the suspicion that the manufacturer saved on the metal immediately creeps in, and to reduce the load on parts it reduced the frequency beats. As a result, the “twins”, although they look like one person, have a different character. Hammer will allow you to work much faster, and in the same material, he scores staples stronger than the “Bison”, despite the same power. They are equally sensitive to voltage dips.

The Bison impact control also works worse - the impact force can start to noticeably “float”, which Hammer does not allow itself. If we take into account the difference in prices, then it obviously makes sense to add money: this is why Zubr gets the last place from us.

Well, since Makita does not make a universal stapler for staples and nails, and you have to work with the latter more often, then this model may already be of interest. The stapler is designed for 0.6 mm nails from 15 to 35 mm long. A useful feature is the presence of a backlight, which can greatly facilitate the work in poor light.

The choice of batteries is not very logical: instead of the increasingly used 18-volt lithium-ionics, the PT354DZ uses 12-volt and 10.8-volt batteries at the choice of the owner (in the set, of course, there are none). On 18-volt batteries, especially with a capacity of 5 Ah, the autonomy of work would be better: for any type of battery, the real (and not the nameplate) capacity is inversely proportional to the discharge current, and at a higher operating voltage at equal power, the current is correspondingly lower.

What you should say “thank you” for is the convenience of adjusting the depth of driving.If on DST221Z a nut is used for this, then here is a large knurled head that can be easily adjusted with your fingers.

This model also specializes exclusively in plugging. The stapler is designed for 1.6 mm nails and is capable of “stitching” at an almost machine-gun speed: it empties a magazine for 105 nails in less than a minute. The length of the nails - from 19 to 65 mm.

An 18 volt battery (not included again) is used quite economically. Four ampere hours is enough to drive around 1,400 nails. For efficiency, we say “thank you” to the brushless motor, which, moreover, will not require any maintenance during operation.

The stapler has two adjustments. At the end of the engine-percussion mechanism block, the coarse force setting flag is set, at the bottom - the handwheel for precise adjustment of the immersion depth. The stapler holds the setting well, without random “stockpiles” or “interruptions.” There is also a mode switch, imperceptible at first glance - it can be called, by weapon analogy, the “translator of fire”. In the first position of the switch for hammering each nail, you must separately press the shutter button, in the second the stapler switches to the “automatic shooting” mode, while the key is clamped and the stapler itself is pressed against a hard surface.

Ergonomics is also not satisfactory. The tool is perfectly balanced, rubber linings have microdiffusion. However, the weight of a stapler is too big - more than 3 kg, and this is without a battery (and the dimensions are appropriate). During prolonged use, especially on vertical surfaces, the hand will tire.

Against the backdrop of the monstrous AEG, "green" Bosch, designed for "fifty-third" brackets with a length of up to 10 mm, looks like a real toy - well, it is made with an eye to lighter work. And he himself is not at all heavy - only 800 grams.

In a minute the striker's striker makes 30 hits. Unfortunately, there are no adjustments to the impact force - Bosch does not hide that this model is designed only for soft wood. This is largely due to the small power of the engine, and this, in turn, is a direct consequence of the choice of using a single lithium-ion cell with a voltage of 3.6 V, its capacity is 1.3 ampere-hour. The inability to quickly replace a dead battery is another indication of the amateur-class instrument.

A 5-volt adapter is used for charging, but instead of a logical use of the USB port (it would withstand the charging current with a margin - even more for telephones), this is a regular DC coaxial plug. A full charge takes about 5 hours.

In the work, the stapler is convenient - a good grip, rubberized pads on the handles, and a small weight is also "in the subject." But, of course, if you intend to use the stapler often, then it is better to choose a professional model.
