Did Scotty Kilmer's brother get a tool review channel?
LOL!
I was thinking the same thing
He is Potty Kilmer. Moves his bowels not his hands
I was so confused when I first heard his voice 😂
💀
As an electrician who's been doing service work in basements and attics for nearly 10 years, I can tell you that carrying staples and a hammer in those areas can be a real pain. Despite this, I've noticed that other electricians often make fun of those who use staplers. However, I don't let their teasing bother me. This stapler right here is a time-saver, and I'll continue to use it regardless of what others may think.
PS: I have to say that this TH-cam video was incredibly well done. Thank you for such a great job!
I agree with you.
I’m horrible at driving staples by hand. Absolutely worth the time savings to me. Especially in crawl spaces and other fun places…
I have gotten into installing Starlink dishes under my handyman company. And I bought this to assist in running the power and signal cable.
So far I have installed 26 Starlink dishes and 16 have been installed using this tool. Huge time saver. And it really is a huge help with cable management and routing.
Excellent!
İş emrini nasıl alıyorsun yakında Türkiye’ye gelicek. Sana işi starlink mi atıyor yoksa çalıştığın firma direk pazarlamasını ve kurulumunu satıyor
Thanks Mr Sparky. I've used the Dewalt at work and it's kinda loose on all staples and it really gets hard to shoot if not pinned down completely. I've been thinking about this one for my personal use and it looks like i might get it. Plus my cordless kit is all Milwaukee...... 🤙🤘
This tool is going to make securing electrical wire much easier. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, it's a big time saver.
Hello Bill! I have this stapler as well. So far it is great I really like it. I have used it on cat5 cable and quickly discovered what you did as well with the coaxial, the more pressure and it sinks them deeper damaging the cable. I have used it so far on some romex 14-2, cat 5 and 6 as well as a couple I would estimate 12 gauge garage light fixture cords. Very pleased with performance especially once I mastered the amount of needed pressure.
Yes, it does take some experience. Thanks Angel!
just ordered one! best video review so far!! thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm using one right now and I am impressed with the tool. Saves time. Time is money. Good footage
Thanks!
En serio si ahorra tiempo.
Thanks for the video, Bill. As always, very useful information and review.
Thanks Tim!
Planing on getting one. Thanks for the video
Welcome!
Thanks Bill…. I’ve been interested in seeing this stapler in action. Have a great day!!!!?
No problem, thanks!
Best video of this tool I've seen! Thanks for making this!
thanks bill on the video i have a few m12 tools will have to add this one too it
Good addition!
We got one at work and love it!! Save so much time!
Great to hear. Anything in particular you like about it or any drawbacks?
@@SparkyChannel When you have to staple over head it shines the most. Also it will still fire a staple if off by a bit. Nice to have some wiggle room. Tight spots is the only place I have found it can be a pain but it’s a pain even with a hammer lol 😂. Over all it makes runs look so good and can save time for other projects on the job. Love the channel and thank you for your work sir!
It's very worth it. Just buy it. I went through 600 staples last week on a house I wired. Still haven't needed to charge the battery
Fantastic!
Wonder how it would fair with composite cable (access control cable), or cat6. Although I don't have many installs with wood so I probably couldn't justify this but it would be cool to have
Good demo and seems like a good tool ... Thx ...
Thanks Eddy!
When using this tool make very sure the cable is running underneath and in line with the staple magazine. The guide is approximately 5mm in front of where the staples actually fire. If your cable runs sideways after it passes through the guide you will hit the cable. This also limits the tool in confined spaces. If the staple goes through the cable be prepared to spend way more time on the job than this tool would save you.
😂😂😂
It's very precise!
I used to use the Dewalt stapler about the same results as the Milwaukee just with 3/4 inch staples
Thanks!
Thanks Bill! Another honest review for those of us in the field. We appreciate your time making these videos. How long have you been an electrician?
Thanks! 30+ yr
Hi Bill, hope you are well. Great content as always . Love the tool videos but overdue for some renovation videos and electrician storytelling videos.
I have a renovation of a 1960 house coming up in august, so I may have some videos coming from there. I love telling the stories!
@@SparkyChannel Sir how does this compares to the DeWalt version?
Hi! could i ask you to test that with a coax, or outdoor cat5/cat6.
Impressed!
Hope they come out with different kinds of staples. Would be great to staple barbed wire to a fence post for example.
Thanks!
Just use a normal staple gun..... they have this and another 2 or 3 different staplers
I used the 6.0 battery and it only went down one battery after 1600 staples. Great for roughing houses. Ive done a total of 8 houses so far and no hiccups yet. Bill great videos as always!
Thanks for the info, sounds great!
Hi Bill. It's too bad this wasn't available a year or so ago when I got a DeWalt stapler. (All my tools are Milwaukee, except the stapler.) I needed it for a job that had a lot of overhead straight runs. The DeWalt doesn't appear to staple as hard as the Milwaukee. It's a little looser than I'd like. I would hate to invest in another stapler, but it would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of the two.
I re-watched your DeWalt review and I like how DeWalt shows what and how many cables it is approved to secure.
Thanks for the review.
Hi Don! The DeWalt is set to stop just a touch higher than the Milwaukee. Good idea, I see what I can do.
@@SparkyChannel 👍
@@Ampacityelectric Thanks for the advice! Sounds good.
Looks way better than the klein version! I watched a video on that one and most of the staples didn't even make contact with the cable.
Thanks!
Nice Stapler compact and light weight. Can it fire into thermal lite block or render or mortar block ?
Same as the dewalt version, same staples too but red. i use the dewalt one on thermalite blocks. just make sure both pins are level before pulling trigger
Fantastic! I’m definitely buying one.
Do it
Hope you enjoy it!
Thx Bill for reviewing this, and assuming is will also do 2 cables on top of one another as well?
Cheers✌🏻
Yes, see: Milwaukee vs DeWalt Cable Stapler All-Out Contest! in 4K: th-cam.com/video/imRFMBDqKQc/w-d-xo.html
Good morning Bill 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
Good morning Ted!
Great video I would like to see different pieces of wood perhaps harder and softer wood
Great idea, thanks.
I'm interested to know if these staples can be hammered? For example if there's a few of us on site but only 1 of us has the M12 stapler.... Can the other 2 electricians go old school with a hammer without bending a bunch of the staples?
Yes, not a problem.
I've had a manual coax specific staple gun for years. it shoots a curved staple and has a 3 position guide to manage the depth. I've also seen a model that shoots a staple with a plastic liner I don't actually use it much, I'm usually running coax in parallel with cat 5, and that means a coax specific fastener doesn't work.
Interesting. Do you get any interference with the 2 cables next to each other? Your coax specific gun is a much better idea than a 3/4" staple IMO.
@@SparkyChannel I've never noticed a problem. both Coax and UTP are reasonably cross talk resistant, and most people are using wireless internet for home use. I'm starting to get calls for cat 6 from people who actually need to maximize bandwidth.
@@kenbrown2808 Thanks! I have CAT 7 going to my computer. I figured I would "future proof" my category lines.
@@SparkyChannel don't forget that communications systems have dozens of data lines bundled together. the biggest thing I remember is not to make coils of extra wire with data lines. it's also not good to have coils of power cable. in both cases you are making an inductor, which causes problems. I'll have to think about adding that cable stapler to my kit. the convenience is a big draw, but is it enough to offset the fact that loose staples cost a tenth as much? plus I just bought a blower and a cable cutter.
@@kenbrown2808 Excellent points. I'm going to be making a DeWalt vs Milwaukee cable stapler vid so all this info is great. What brand of cable cutter and blower did you buy, if you don't mind my asking.
Cool little tool. If im getting paid by the hour im definitely sticking to my hammer haha
LOL!
Great video
Thanks!
Another great video Bill, after you did a review on the Dewalt cable stapler, i went out and bought one, I like it alot. Do you plan on doing a comparison between the two? I like the fact that the Dewalt doesn't change the depth of the staple, based on how hard you push the the gun against the staple, takes that variable out of the equation. And as you have stated, if you need it to be tighter just tap in the staple a little harder.
Yes, definitely. I'm gathering info right now. The 2 companies seem to have different philosophies regarding how tight to make the staples.
@@SparkyChannel I can see that, I am leaning towards Dewalts philosophy not to make it to tight based on how hard you press down.
@@B5Blue1968 I'm tending to agree with you.
I test this about a year an half ago because the Milwaukee rep seen I had a dewalt stapler and ask about it
Which do you like the best?
You should have tried it on a NMD twisted cable like a 14/3
I haven't seen twisted 3 wire in at least 10 years. Everything is flat now.
Do you have to use Milwaukee staples?
Yes.
I just bought one , minor issue : The actual staples aren’t approved for use in Canada yet ! I call it a speculative investment !
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
Great video,
Thanks.
P.S, Does work with service panel wires?
@@Ampacityelectric thanks
Yes, it does. Thanks!
I am an alarm technician, and I generally use fairly thin wires. Mostly cat 5 or 22-4. If you put three or four wires together, Will this stapler work on that? Great video thank you I look forward to your answer.
Fred
Do you mean side by side? If so, the answer would be yes for 3. 4 might work but I wouldn't chance it.
I am an electrician and do low voltage as well as ac. I have another stapler for low voltage that has smaller all metal /non insulated staples more similar to a regular paper stapler (but wider) that have staples that have a hump in the middle for the different small cables so there is no chance of pinching. There are two different hump sizes for cat 5, thermostat etc, and another specifically sized for rg6 coax. They work great. They were available at home depot/lowes? for a while but I am not sure if they still are. Then years ago before this milwaukee gun came out I had already bought a romex gun like this from halex which came out. It has coated staples and works great. It uses its own lion batteries. I got lots of staples to last me a long time which were cheap. The gun has a depth adjustment dial for the type of romex/mc you are using. The staples have glue coating on the pins to add holding strength. The halex gun was not widely adopted and they gave up on it. I spoke to and bought staples who cleared the manufacturing facility out full of guns and staples. But I think it is great and there was nothing like it on the market for years until now. I thought the fact that it was not widely adopted showed how stupid contractors were in the industry.

Compare it to dewalt that's good
Is it heavy or comfy?
I'd say comfy.
Any tips/tricks?
Very nice video Bill!
Thanks Aaron!
My pleasure
Be nice if it would have the ability to use other types of staples. That's a bit pricy for what it is.
@@chrisford8403 M12 is pretty tough. I haven't beaten my stuff up too bad, yet. But I've seen plenty take a fair amount of abuse.
Thanks, Bill! Looks awesome. I may have to purchase one. Do you recommend any of the older, cheaper Milwaukee staplers that might be more affordable for starving apprentices?
Thanks. I don't think so, at least not like this one.
This is the first.
Oops looks like your white cable was another 12-2 instead of 14-2
Yep.
I think I wanna get this one of these days.
Sounds good!
@@SparkyChannel One is on the way Lol
@@illestofdemall13 Wow! You didn't mess around. Let me know how you like it.
@@SparkyChannel Yeah, I've been looking at it for a while now and I almost bought it a few weeks ago. This time I pulled the trigger Lol. I'll let you know for sure.
Can it staple stacked wires?
Yes, according to the manual you can use it for a single or double stacked cables. Doesn’t say anything about more than double stacked though. If it’s stapling MC though I would assume you might get a 3rd romex under a staple also.
MC cable... I didn't see him try to pull it out. I'd be more inclined to use straps, unless they have a deeper cable staple. (?)
Yes, straps are better.
So I love the idea of this because I have a bum shoulder. But the thought of using this in a basement overhead horizontally doesn't seem very comfortable especially with a 2 finger trigger. I'm thinking 1 thumb on the trigger sideways.
Whatever is comfortable for you, that will be fine.
Its a game changer
Yep!
Does the manufacturer "list" it for use with MC cable?
There is no mention in the manual.
I don’t do enough electrical to justify on getting one, but I want one.
I understand!
You make it seem so easy. I tried mine out and I could not get it to go that low. I guess I might be doing it wrong...?
You shooting it downward or horizontal like actual use? Unless going across a truss or maybe top plate no where do I see shooting down a reality
How about CAT5 or CAT6?
Works! Been using this stapler this week running security and a nurse call system. Works great on all those more sensitive cables. You need to be careful in aiming though, as it seems the staple isn’t perfectly consistent in its placement. I’ve cut through two cables in as many days… A bit of a learning curve but worth it, definitely.
Could we use u stapler?
Thank You
Thanks Juan!
Can this be used as a regular stapler ? Not a cable stapler
No, because it doesn't drive the staple all the way down.
@@SparkyChannel good to know, thank you for the good info.
They make a normal stapler
will it go into block wall ?
No.
Do you think it staples wire better and tighter than the DEWALT cable stapler? I have the DEWALT one but all my tools are Milwaukee M12.
Wondering if it makes sense to buy the M12 one and ditch the DEWALT one.
@@Ampacityelectric Yea, I’m debating if I switch I can just sell the DEWALT kit. I got it for a steal though at my local Home Depot which is why I bought it. For some reason, the kit was down to $189 and the staples were $7 a box so I bought them all.
I’m just used to Milwaukee tools and their warranties are great. Not so sure when it comes to DEWALT.
I just got the DeWalt one and I find it sucks on hard framing member LVL
@@SaludfitnessPUNTOcom I did buy a box of the Milwaukee staples and found they go in much nicer with a hammer when compared to the DEWALT staples. DEWALT went with a chisel like design where are the Milwaukee ones are more of the traditional point that you get with your standard briscon insulated blue staples.

Dewalt is nice but milwaukee is the Cadillac..I have both
Seems like a good tool but can it staple 2 12/2 or 14/2
I have used it to rough a few houses now and it does a great job. So great that i dont mind buying the staples.
Video in the works.
Yes you can double stack 14-2, 14-3, 12-2, 12-3, and 10-2. Single stack only for 10-3.
@@illestofdemall13 Exactly correct.
So how does it compare to the dewalt?
Video in the works.
great
Thanks!
I never would have thought it would work for MC , the claim it will work on Cat 5-6 .
It seems to work very nicely for MC. I'm not a fan of using a power stapler for Cat 5-6. I like the idea of hand stapling them with the proper curved and insulated staples. If the staples put too much pressure on the category cables you could get interference.
@@SparkyChannel I tend to agree , that said I might do a controlled experiment !
Sold
I hear that!
I wonder if ESA would pass this on Ontario
Not sure, but I don't see why not.
What's the purpose of that mc cable
MC is required in certain applications. One application would be metal studs since the sharp edges can cut into Romex. Commercial work uses it a lot more than residential. It's basically a protective covering for the wires.
@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 can't you use bushings or grommets to protect the pvc cable where they pass through a metal stud?
@@2loco Depends on the municipality/architect. Code can vary pretty wildly depending on where you are and sometimes architect specify things that don't always make sense.
Is it a money maker though? Will you need to have it re-calibrated after so many shots?
There's nothing in the manual about re-calibration.
what happens if my staple goes into the wire....using 12.2 romex....doesnt look like any damage but how can I test it...?
That would be a continuity test after removing the staple. But replacing the cable is the safest way to go.
@@SparkyChannel i cut the wire open..it just knicked the ground...but I just decided to add an outlet at that spot and just continued with the wiring.....
@@garlicdawg Don’t test . Throw a box , saves time and money if you screw up .
isolation test? are you sure you're allowed to work on your electrics?
Can you angle staples?
Bunun gibi bir alet arıyorum cat6 tutacak kamera işi yapıyoruz yakında ülkeme starlink gelicek onunla kurulumunda kullanmak istiyorum
Awesome tool. Steep price in my book! I’ll keep my stiletto hammer for now. Maybe wait for a sale….
True, sales might happen later on.
Great tool but the staples are 200% overpriced.
Time vs money.
$300
Sounds right.
Worth the money if a full-time electrician wiring complete houses.
As a weekend warrior/diy spend the money on other practical tool
Time to say goodbye to my hammer I will definitely get this
I hear you, thanks!
Only works with Milwaukee staples. That's what's stopping me.
You mean your linesman’s?
what about guns for low voltage wire like ethernet and 18/20 gauge
Typical Milwaukee very expensive I will stay with my manual stapler.
That's cool.
I'd like to see this hit a few into hardwood and then go to pine to see if it hits too hard. I wouldn't want any hot spots in my installation from this
I have a gun like this that has been out for a decade from Halex which did not sell and they discontinued it soon after, but it works great and makes the job much easier and clean. In my opinion anyone who did not buy it which is why it disappeared or thinks this milwaukee is not worth it or laughs at it is a fool, is stupid and must like working less efficiently and making their job harder. Then they use the excuse of stapling by hand being difficult for a reason for not securing wiring often enough and properly. Stapling romex by hand is a joke and would be like using a horse and buggy to drive around to do contracting work. Now the same goes for buying a new gasoline vehicle versus electric with its 4-5x higher fueling costs and unreliable drivetrain which needs constant maintenance costing more money. Who were known as the luddites and will suffer doing things the old and inferior way.
Made in china?
Probably alot of stuff in the world are usually made there
Perhaps soon to be made in Mexico. China's factory-work-age population is rapidly decreasing. Also, I'd rather spend less to buy something made by a poor farm girl getting a factory job than pay a communist union worker in America $35 an hour to push buttons. NO thanks!. Unions killed American jobs. Period.
rather have them made in China than Mexico
