DEWALT20V MAX* Narrow Crown Stapler, 18GA, Tool Only (DCN681B)

Let me start by saying this staple gun is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of DIY tools—solid, a bit hefty, but boy, does it get the job done!When I first unboxed this beast, I had to do a few bicep curls just to prepare myself for the weight. Seriously, if I wanted a workout, I'd hit the gym, not frame my artwork. But once I got past the initial shock (and a few strained muscles), I was ready to conquer my trim and DIY framing projects like a pro.Now, about the bulkiness—it's like holding a mini bazooka, minus the explosions (unless you count my neighbors wondering what I'm building this time). Maneuvering it felt more like directing traffic than precision crafting. But hey, sometimes you need a tool with a presence, right?But let's talk performance. This staple gun doesn't mess around. It's like the Hulk smashing staples into place—loud, proud, and impressively effective. The staples went in smoother than butter on a hot biscuit. No jams, no drama—just sturdy, secure attachments.Battery life? Solid. It lasted longer than my attention span during a DIY project marathon, which is saying something. Plus, reloading was a breeze. Even my cat could do it (if she had opposable thumbs).Despite its heft and bulk, this staple gun is now my go-to for trim and DIY framing. It's like having a dependable sidekick—maybe a bit overenthusiastic, but you know it'll have your back.So, if you don't mind a tool that's a tad beefier than your average staple gun, go ahead and add this bad boy to your cart. Just be prepared to work those muscles while you work your magic. Happy stapling, my DIY comrades!

High quality. Works very well. Takes the place if an 18 gauge nailer as well. Dewalt quality. I love this thing.

This is an easy tool to love. The joints it makes are strong. I’ve built theatre sets and a sauna in the short time that I’ve had it. On a few occasions the grain of the wood has diverted one of the pins out the side of the wood, even when attempting to direct the pin away from the side. Pulling these out without damaging the wood is a chore. But, on the whole, I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

I love this machine it's so fast

Works great with repeated use.. I haven’t had any issues yet.

Works great sometimes doesn’t shoot last few staples. It is very heavy so would not recommend for extended overhead use.

It has the power to drive in staples and at fast repetition.

My only issues is it won't use the last 5 staples. Works great though.
