5 Professions That Would Benefit from an Electric Stapler

I know what you&#;re thinking, &#;We are in a digital era, who uses staplers anymore?!&#; Lucky for you we&#;ve done a lot of research into the top 5 professions that use this seemingly archaic device on a daily basis and have a need for it to be automated.

If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

Pharmacists

When you pick up a prescription at the pharmacy, it usually comes in a little paper bag with an unreasonable amount of paper instructions. Who do you think staples that stack of paper? Pharmacists! They have to stapler at least 1 time per customer which can create fatigue. Electric staplers like the EcoElectronix StaplePro help pharmacists move through customers quickly without the drudgery of a manual stapler.

Teachers

&#;Stapling is my superpower&#; - Jennifer, Empathetic Teacher  While many classrooms move to Zoom or online submissions, the elementary teachers still must consider stapling one of their many superpowers. Whether it&#;s stapling a rough draft to a final draft or forgetting to put your name on all 5 papers, teachers come to the rescue stapling around 20 students&#; papers daily. Jennifer makes the distinction between a &#;student stapler&#; and a &#;teacher stapler&#; and if ever there was a stapler designed for teachers it is the sleek and speedy EcoElectronix StaplePro.

Accountants

Accounting is a profession where having receipts and things in writing is vital. With a lot of papers, comes a lot of stapling. From memos, letters, financial statements, etc. accountants can save time with an automatic stapler.

Electric Staple Gun / Brad Nailer, worth buying?

I'm new to the scene in terms of using staples guns and brad nailers. I don't need pneumatic.
Is it worth purchasing something like this?

I disagree. Pneumatic is overkill for a casual user. Electric brad nailers/staplers work great for small jobs. I love my Ryobi brad nailer for trim.

What are you going to do with it? That's kind of the key thing here. The Dewalt stapler you posted is fine as a staple gun. It's not a finish nailer to put trim up. Read the reviews on it.

For brad nailing, you're going to want something a lot more powerful. I have a few pneumatic nailers, but recently got a Ridgid battery powered nailer and love it. I installed MDF and cedar shiplap boards on all the interior walls of my cabin, and I used the Ridgid nailer for all of it. Not having a hose and the noise of the compressor was awesome. Just need a few batteries on the go to keep rolling through the day.

If you get quality stuff, electric is fine. It's just expensive is the thing. The tool and batteries are not cheap.

For people who already have a compressor, a strong air tool is pretty cheap. If you need to invest in a compressor then it doesn't make as much sense for a home user. Although it would be nice to have the compressor for other things in the future. As simple as touching up air in tires after season swaps.

What are you going to use it for? If its just DIY projects and random stuff around the house, I would 100% buy an 18ga battery powered one and never look back.

I have M12 pinner, Dewalt 18ga, 16ga and 15ga. The 16ga pretty much just collects dust.

The 18ga has probably shot tens of thousands of nails and never had any issues. Also, when Im doing after hours work, or doing stuff around the house that just needs something quickly, its amazing.

I just simply love cordless for basically everything I do. Sure, if you're going to be in a shop and have good hose management, or if you want to be as cost effective as possible as see yourself buying a bunch of air tools, then air has its upsides, but really, for most people I think battery is the way to go.

The M12 pinner seems to be good so far, I got it not too long ago, but doesnt seem to have an issue with hardwoods.

I have noticed that the 15ga has some issues when you're sinking hardwood into hardwood. It seems to just lack the power to drive a 2.5" fastener the full depth. That said, for attaching door jambs or what not, you're never going to have an issue.

Ultimately, let us know what you intend to use it for, then we can likely better guide you.

I'm a Luddite so I mostly have pneumatic tools. I have a small quiet air compressor with a short hose for work inside my house.

Which battery powered one do you recommend? I want it to be both a stapler and Brad nailer.

You can't have both in one tool. Personally I have the Ryobi brad nailer and their crown stapler. If you wait for a free battery event you can get the batter with the tools to make it cheaper.

The one you linked is a corded model and quite weak, handles 1" brad at most.

What uses does a homeowner have for a staple gun? A brad nailer is much more useful for house maintenance and I'd just go with that. As others have said, get two tools, not the combination ones. Tons of things for sale!

Staple gun i have a Dewalt manual one seeing i usually staple in wires/cables and going through joists / crawl spaces and it is quick and easy for that type of work. The odd time my wife may staple a chair fabric of such and again simple enough for what i already have. If i used a lot it would be tough on whether i would go 120v or battery....portability wise battery however i tend to not go that direction for personal reasons.

Brad Nailer on the other hand is about the one tool i do not have. Air powered would likely be my choice however if you have an investment in other battery operated tools i would match the brand so that i could share battery packs across all your tools.

Batteries are very expensive however, i tend to only go 120v on my tools so i believe I would go Air powered myself. Both are very good options. The only battery tool i own is a brand new Makita leaf blower which i picked up for an incredible price, i plan on replacing with a gas version as performance is very good however run time is atrocious. I also don't want to join that battery replacement cycle, i picked the blower/trimmer and 5AH battery for less than $100 at end of season, used it twice and determined that wasn't the best direction for me. Many others swear the other way including my brother who only buys battery powered tools, it really is preference and how often you use the tool and your needs/uses. Please remember that "Newbie Season" does not mean "Bag 'em and tag 'em". Kindness and patience, and as always like(s) for positive posts!

I would say the opposite (IMO) that pneumatic is the way to go for casual users unless you are talking about corded. You can then buy tools of any brand that are cheaper than battery powered ones once you get a small compressor. After many years, when/if your compressor dies you can simply buy another one and keep all your tools. When your batterie dies after many years and the line is not supported anymore, you have to replace your tools (happened to my father recently with an old drill that you cannot buy batteries anymore). I can understand a frequent user not wanting to deal with the hose and the noise of a compressor but as a casual DIY, I really don't mind since I don't use it that often (and I don't need to plan in advance on recharging batteries not always knowing when I will need them). Try not! Do or do not, there is no try...

that's exactly right. the reason to get electric is if you need to do a lot of work and you want a lot of convenience, i.e. don't want to deal with the compressor and the hose. for a casual user a pneumatic tool is a much cheaper option.

I'm going to install MDF baseboards once the floors get done. Would this do the job for me? I've already got the batteries from other tools I own.

The ryobi brad nailer works great. It'll have no issue with hardwood baseboards, let alone MDF
