RYOBI18-Volt ONE+ Cordless Compression Drive 3/8 in. Crown Stapler (Tool Only) P317

Although the condition of the box it arrived in clearly indicated that it had been a returned item, this crown stapler was in pristine condition. The box contained the original documentation and a small supply of staples. There was even a belt clip for the tool. When I inserted one of the Ryobi batteries I have for other Ryobi tools, the stapler worked flawlessly. It drove staples to the crown in hardened yellow pine. With the smaller battery, I expect it to be handy for overhead work. This replaces a Ryobi stapler/brad nailer that finally gave up the ghost after 10+ years of hard use.

I needed to do a lot of stapling on a project, and was not looking forward to using my old, manual stapler. I decided to look at powered options. I mostly have DeWalt cordless tools, but thought this could be a good fit. I already had a battery adapter to use my DeWalt batteries with Ryobi tools. It feels as well built as my DeWalt stuff, and worked great. I shot well over 100 staples with a single battery. It is far easier to use than a manual one. If you have a large project, I recommend considering this. If I was going to use it a lot, I might have gone with the DeWalt one, so I didn't have to mess with the adaptor. But it really isn't a problem, and I don't expect to use it that often now. Although it is so much easier than the manual one, I might start using it more.

Works great. I like that you can adjust the depth of the staples you're using. Knocked out two bunk board covers on my boat trailer with extreme ease. AND this buy was cheaper than what HDepot was selling it for.

Amazing. We’ve used this staple gun for about a year now and haven’t had any issues with it. Make sure to get the right staple size!

I purchased these (quite expensive if you think about it) electric stapler in order to add to my tool shed for casual DIY projects and cabling I do. I had seen someone review this new version and I was impressed with the product. I was blown away how much better they are than my Stanley set with cabling and the sheer force of the staple itself. I use it for some standard stapling, but where I found it much better at doing was stapling cables in place. I do a lot of networking and cable work for A/V and computer work and these staples have some real holding power while having a nice guide to avoid the obvious, hitting the cable. So many times I just needed a way to hold the cable in place while we button things up, that I reach for a stapler to hold the cable and even though those staplers had guides, they werent very fixed in place and allowed the cables to move during the inevitable jump of the stapler when it hits.This is something I really like about this stapler, the kickback of the unit while in use is almost nothing. This means you are much more likely to put that staple where you wanted it. Most hand held staple guns tend to shift when they follow through the strike, but this unit does a great job.Pros: Fast, no waiting for the next trigger pull and no lead time for the strike. Holds many staples in one go. Easy to see how many staples are left (though the final 10 or so are obscured). Supports a few sizes of staples. Common and inexpensive battery platform that hasnt changed for 20 years. Powerful and strikes through even metal corner plates with ease without having to hammer in the final amount. Wont leave the average staple proud even in most hardwoods.Cons: It is much bigger than a manual stapler, granted. Need some experience with the unit to better gauge the final location of the staple. Even though there is a mark for the staple, the edge of the unit is quite a bit wider than the staple. Can't staple extremely close to your edges because the staple fires about a 1/3 inch from the edge of the staple gun. Doesn't have bump fire modes (get the Milwaukee if that is your thing), but is a bit stronger firing mechanism than even the red sister tool.

Much better than my old electric stapler.Can dial in depth.Definitely recommend.

HUGE timesaver when you have to staple hardware cloth to 2x4’s. I was able to do over 200 staples with m8 imal effort and it didn’t even use one light on my Ryobi battery! Easy to load, easy to use.

For homeowners use, this is an excellent choice.
