Gardner Bender CableBoss MPS-2125 Staple Gun - Heavy-Duty Cable Installation Tool

Tom: Probably not for an everyday electrician but for a DIY in his mid 60's, it saved my fingers and shoulder muscles . A wack with a hammer every once in a while to fully seat some staples beats hammering a couple of hundred . I gave it only 4 stars because I don't know how it would hold up to all day everyday use.

William S.: I had always used the cable clamps that come with two nails bridged by a plastic clamp, Hammering them into place and injuring my fingers. Found this while searching and have used it to apply maybe 20 or 30 cable clamps quite successfully. Has good power into soft wood. Haven't tried into hardwood. Very happy.

Nic3k: 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!).

Average handyman: 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.

Keith LeeKeith Lee: 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.

AlexAlex: 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.

Dan: Good product, but expensive for what it is. They're extremely bulky, not great for running cables sleek along baseboards and such. probably best to use a crown stapler for a nice clean looking install like the cable guys do.
