Cordless Nailers & Staplers

Cordless nailers and staplers free you from compressors and hoses.  Straight and angled finish nailers drive brad and finish nails for trim work and cabinetry, while framing nailers handle construction and decking.  Battery powered staplers are ideal for upholstery and insulation installation, providing consistent depth and reduced recoil.

What’s the difference between a nailer and a stapler, and which should I choose?

• Cordless nailers fire nails (usually brads, finish nails, or framing nails) and are ideal for trim work, cabinetry, panelling, framing, and decking.

• Cordless staplers drive U-shaped staples and are better suited for fabric, insulation, upholstery, and light woodworking.
  Your choice depends on the fastener type and material—nailers for structural or trim work, staplers for holding soft materials or sheeting.

Do cordless nailers and staplers have enough power for heavy-duty use?

Yes—modern 18V and 36V cordless nailers are powerful enough to match or exceed pneumatic models for most common tasks. With brushless motors, adjustable depth control, and rapid-fire modes, they offer professional-grade performance without the need for compressors, hoses, or gas cartridges.

What features should I look for in a cordless nailer or stapler?

Key features to consider:

• Tool-free jam clearing and depth adjustment

• Dry-fire lockout to prevent misfiring when out of nails/staples

• Sequential or bump firing modes for precision or speed

• Magazine capacity and fastener compatibility (e.g. 16Ga, 18Ga, brads, crown staples)
  Also ensure the tool is compatible with your battery platform to streamline your cordless setup.
