Gardner Bender MPS-2125 CableBoss Staple, ½ Inch., Secures Coax: RG-6, (NM) Non-Metalic Cable: 10/2, 12/3, CAT 5e and 16/4 Speaker Wire, 200 Pk., Black

I was skeptical about this, especially for stapling things as big as Romex, and going into harder surfaces like engineered joists. But it works really well. On regular wood it just works, no muss, no fuss. On harder surfaces it gets the staple most of the way there, and a few hammer taps finish it (just be very careful to hit straight -- the staples bend otherwise). Easy loading, and no jams so far. It's requires more strength than the usual staplegun, but I can still do it one-handed. Saves a ton of time, gets into awkward places, and the result even looks good. The best part is not having hold the staple (and so not hammering your fingers!).

I recently had to rewire my entire house these staples work amazingly.

I don’t know why there’s so many poor reviews. It works well. I removed a star because the staples you need to use are expensive, the stapler doesn’t hold a lot of staples at once, and I wish it had a belt clip. For shooting into standard pine studs it does a fine job. Outside of the few things I listed it is an excellent tool.

This cable stapler has definitely come in handy on job sites, and doing home renovations. Much easier and faster than hand nailing staples, and can easily make clean runs with one person. The down side is that is doesn't always drive staples in fully, and sometimes it folds staples over. You can drive them in with a hammer after, but the staples are thin enough that you'll often end up mashing the top onto itself without driving the legs farther into the wood.Overall, it's handy when running cable by yourself, but I'd still keep a bag of hand nail staples in the tool box if you're mounting wire to anything other than soft pine.

When shooting staples into hard southern pine or cedar or harder for woods, this thing misfires more than it staples. It is also very difficult to fully squeeze and fire the staples. Takes a lot of effort. Wish I could afford one of the batter powered ones like Dewalt. But just can’t justify the price. So I’m stuck with this mediocre thing or hand nailing staples with a hammer.

These are my second or third box of these particular staples so obviously I like them. The staple gun and staple combination fill a need and make installing romex and other cable much simpler. The stapler itself has a few quirks but we aren't reviewing it are we? The staples work great and are available in various length per need. The only complaint I have about them is the cost and I deducted a star for that because I think they are overpriced for all they are. I still bought them and will continue to use them as they work.

I use this staple gun for cat 6 cable and for 4-wire phone cable. If you can use it on flat runs it works great. If you start getting into weird angles where the base of the stapler is not flat against the surface your results will sometimes require a re-try. This is to be expected though, as these staplers are meant to be held flush against the work surface. I find that it sinks the staple completely in the builder grade pine I'm usually working with.I've tried sinking staples in the grout line of brick work and you can forget that option. You'll waste a staple and jam the gun. If this were a pneumatic stapler you might get away with that, but this simply won't work on brick, or anything you could not drive a small finishing nail into with a hammer. Of course.It is true that this stapler requires a mighty squeeze to operate. Quite a bit more force than a standard stapler, like an Arrow. I have not damaged any cable. I am careful to have the cable straight under the stapler and that's all it takes. If you let the stapler walk all over as you squeeze the handle you will have misfires and probably damage your work.For me, this stapler does just what I wanted it to do and it does it well. The staples are barbed and don't pull out easily. These staples are not going to come out on their own.I find that gripping the front of the device at the black front surface and pressing while squeezing the staple drives home perfectly every time. I would not want to have to use this thing for more than an hour at a session since it is very fatiguing to squeeze. However, I find using it is much less annoying than trying to mount those hammer-in cable clips where I usually do manage to nick the cable or bang the hammer into the area around the clip producing a poor-looking job. Besides, those clips always seem to have walked away when I'm needing to tack down cable and this red stapler is very hard to overlook.The stapler is made well for light use. It is rubbery coated plastic molded over a steel frame. As I have tried to convey, it does the job for light use.

no fails or issues. works as it should

Se atoran las grapas.No sirve para paredes de ladrillo

Me funcionaron perfecto las use en tabla roca muy buena medida

the staples do not fit, unable to unload staples, fell apart, I got so frustrated I broke it with a hammer, whom ever designed this should have been forced to test every one of them till the cows come home, the worst piece of crap ever, as one of the other reviews said we should have read the reviews, never will I buy from this company again and you shouldn't either.

I cannot believe this company is even in business. I bought one of these it worked for about five minutes then completely jammed and fell apart into two pieces. I returned it and bought another one, it works for a few days and exact same thing. It doesn’t matter how careful you are lining up your cable as well 50% of the time it puts the staple right through your wire completely ruining it. I’ve had to redo so much wiring because this ruined all of it. Utter garbage. Shame on you for making such trash. The second one just went straight into the garbage. What a joke.

This was an expensive failed experiment. I should have read the reviews from other places (Home Depot customer reviews average 1-2 Stars).Amazing time saver for about 2dozen staples then it began jamming more consistently than firing. Complete waste of money.So disappointing given the initial performance, but please read non Amazon reviews before you throw your money away.
