From the states here. I bought mine as a kit. For 300. The staples are 25 bucks a box. I love it. No more prick from staples, no more dropping staples. No more smashing my fingers. But if you're not careful it is possible to damage the wire. I was using it, irresponsibly. I should of known better . I was using it an attic and I didn't notice I was not at a good angle. And it cut a 14 Guage wire.
Good to know that they fire fire rated clips 👍
Thanks mate good vid, I've ordered a bare unit and 3 packs of staples to go with it, = 1800 staples should last me.
Hi buddy hope your well nice little tool to use will do well on new builds framework as small enough to get in spaces would love to come and try it with you but under hospital at mo so keep the videos comeing and be safe. Woody
Where was this 30 years ago?!?
Very nice tool!
What about clipping to mortar lines or brick / block? We need a part 2 Mr Davis aha despite the fact you've already sold it to me 👌
I have the dewalt and the loose clips are exactly the same have to admit I do find it a wee bit annoying, I usually give the ood 1 here and there a wee tap with the hammer especially when dressing the cables
Have been using DCN701 for 4 year (Europe - flat cables - mounted to aerated concrete and to wooden roof costruction). I must say I love this tool. Have 2 of them - in case one is broken :). A week ago let a Milwaukee staff came to me and present Milwauke tool. My impression - stay with Dewalt. Milwaukee has some advantges - more handy, more balanced imho, loads 3 sets of staples (Dewalt - 2). But what I noticed during 20 minutes operations 2 things that convinced me to stay with Dewalt . Ok - 3 things - price of staples - in Poland almost twice the price of Dewalt- sometimes it matters. Second - the mechanism preventing the cable to be damaged by staple (in tight/high/dark spaces where you fight to put the tool properly) is waaay better in Dewalt :( Milwaukee shoots even without cable under - just press the stapler and it shoots - in Dewalt there must be wire ..or something that you want to mount under the nozzle (?) and than it releases the staple to be applied. It is esp. important fore me if i use cat6 cable or tv cables. It is probably possible to modify that thing in Milwaukee (needs to cut 2 mm of the "tongue" in the nozzle. Probably. But warranty is then gone ...and the effect is not confirmed - it is just my best guess so far. The third thing is a jammed staple removal ! Look at the construction of the Milwaukee. IF staple is jammed it takes A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT to remove it - fought almost 6 -8 minutes to remove a jammed staple. Just because of construction of the staple magazine. And belive it or not - sometimes they jamm - more often than you might think. Milwaukee is a good tool but because of above mentioned reasons i stick with Dewalt. Oh btw - both staples need some kind of warning/signal - "last staple" - imagine the feeling when you climb up the ladder, hold the cable , balancing ...and realise that the previous shot was the last :(((( And (i know - it is not easy to achieve -looked into inside of stapler ) the regulation of the power of the shot would be a huuuuge advantage.
I'm just about to get one of these but holding off ATM on staple price. I'm not too sure about clipping 3 cables together though wouldn't you need to apply grouping factors to them if installing like that in order for the cable to be able to dissipate possible heat build up?
Grouping factor for 3 cables... Keep out of the books buddy. 😂
Here in Finland the staples are 18,2€ or 16.25£ for the box of 600. I dont have the tool but might have to go and get it.
What kind of job, will you get it for ?
That’s a very good price
@@toni953 I don't know, its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it 🤣
👍👍👍💯❤️
Might be a stupid question but are you able to staple into breeze block ? Like maybes a different type of staple
Very stupid question.
Would love one in principle, but staple price, and does it go into mortar joint between brickwork? Used to first fix loads doing price work and I just don’t think it would speed the fix up overall
Would it hold a single 1.5 when clipping vertically. Or would it slide through
Wouldn’t slide through mate
Do the DeWalt clips fit in this or are they both made to only take their own branded clips?
No sure the red on show on the clips would look good if on show - Dewalts grey ones prob look neater
They are both the same size straps but the Dewalt plastic insulation shoulder are square whereas the Milwaukee are rounded. The square shoulders prevent the staples sitting in the Milwaukee....... unless that is... you trim off the square plastic corners with a sharp knife and then they fit and work perfectly. I had to do this when I couldn't get own brand staples.
Blockwork / joints ?
That would be good to know
I haven’t seen it done- with the Mikita, dewalt or Milwaukee
Actually seems like a very good tool but the price of clips there is just not practical tbh. Think it works out around 7p a clip. If that price could half then I’d defo be getting one of them
Redpower. Co. Uk £16.99 for 600
but over the long run the time savings would outweigh the initial cost of material. think about how long it would take to run 1000 staples and then compare that to the time it takes to use a hammer to tap staples in. much faster and for a professional, time is money
I have used both and I think the Dewalt one is far better! Especially the cost of the staples…
Knowing my luck I would be putting the staples through the cables If I didn't have my glasses on.
😂😂😂😂
How about in brick?
The dewalt one fires into soft block fine
Hello sir @RDavisElectrical I would like to avail one if its for sale here in the philippines. Im also an electrician and this tool may possibly lessen my workload. I would gladly appreciate it if you sold one to me...thanks
Didn’t think they were fire rated from over feedback🤔
Irrelevant anyway. In what case would
You need fire rated clips when it clips into the joist and plaster board is below 😂
Yeah as mentioned you don't need metal clips above a plasterboard ceiling
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.
How rarely do you clip multiple cables together, you run a circuit in, clip it all down. Then work on the next circuit. For me there is too much sag on the cable with the stapler. If they have different clips for each cable size and fixes it tight would be a great tool.
Never 1st fixed a new build then be there for hours 1 circuit at a time
@@ryanlumsden7370 I always take one circuit at a time, I only do domestic as I prefer it. But always focus on running in complete circuits find it much more efficient
@@rjkelectrical6086 so upstairs in a new build for example you wouldnt take both ends of the ring, lighting feeds etc in 1 pull?
@@ryanlumsden7370 in a three story build I would do multiple pulls to be fair, but a standard up and down house I wouldn’t. I say that but each run does depend. I just don’t feel this stable gun warrants the money and makes the better finish over taking a bit longer doing the standard clip method
@@rjkelectrical6086 i dont think the gun warrants it either in all truth.
That's about $38 to $39 USD. More than double the price in the US. Hope your price lower.
Why is Alex at Unilite having a public spat with Jamie Blatant? Not cool.
Who?
@@RDavisElectrical have a look at Monday club
Honestly don’t think this would save that much time over a full house first fix, not to mention how crowded joists can already get and those staples aren’t really space savers
Great tool, but will never look as neat as cable clips, just my ocd.
Seen this one and the DeWalt one, not really impressed by them. Give me regular clips any day of the week.
Plus, you either need 2 of them or have the other person as a spectator while first fixing.
"Little bit of play" no thanks. I'd have to have a hammer with me if I used this.
Utter gimmick. Toys for the boys.
A bit sexist
