Best mechanical staplers

In mechanical staplers, the working part is driven by the force of pressing the user's hand. Inside the body, the actuator contains a spring (coil or spring), striking against the firing pin. The latter collides with the bracket and clogs the fasteners. This is a relatively inexpensive tool, but it is suitable for domestic needs or semi-professional activities, since you constantly have to press the lever with your hand. Here is a ranking of the top seven of this type.

Rapid R153 WORKLINE RUS 5000061

Rating: 4.9

In the first place in the ranking is the stapler from the Swedish brand Rapid. This is a mechanical model for professional use in the assembly of upholstered furniture. A feature of the stapler is work with fasteners 4 mm in height – not every tool is capable of this. The finger grip area is protected by a plastic pad. The stainless steel lever has curved edges and is polished. To prevent the clip from flying out from accidental pressing in the pocket, a fixing loop is provided. Furniture craftsmen in their reviews like that the stapler gently acts on the fabric – after driving the fasteners, no loops or tears remain on the surface of the fabric, the textiles do not heave.

Our experts ranked the hand stapler as the best in terms of no recoil. The actuator makes the impact so precisely, concentrating all the force on the fastener that the operator does not feel the load on the hand. This makes the brush less fatigued and allows you to more accurately position the instrument in the next position. The owners in the reviews report that even a girl can easily handle a stapler.

Advantages

• the one-piece body does not play and nothing will be lost from it;
• delicately affects textile fibers;
• compatible with staples 4-8 mm in height;
• suitable for daily use;
• convenient filling of the store from below.

disadvantages

• you need to press hard enough to the surface, otherwise it will not drive the equipment;
• weighs 565 g;
• high price;
• impact force is not regulated;
• there is no re-hit function.

STANLEY Light Duty 6-TR150L

Rating: 4.8

The second in the ranking of the best is the stapler from the manufacturer Stanley. The model is assembled at a factory in Taiwan. A feature of the product is the work not only with staples, but also with nails (construction pins). The height of the U-shaped fastener is 6-14 mm, and the length of the nails is permissible in the range of 12-15 mm. The tool has two types of impact – soft and hard, which is convenient for working with materials of different density. Easy access to the store makes it easy to change consumables. The stapler body is extremely durable and can withstand drops. The owners in the reviews unequivocally claim that the model is worth its money. Even with the cheapest staples, the firing pin does not misfire.

We ranked the stapler as the most comfortable in girth. The cast aluminum body is well-formed to the shape of a compressed palm and follows its natural lines. The lever and finger-rest are longer and are suitable for people with large or small hands. The back of the lever is covered with rubber. If you are looking for increased ergonomics, then this is by far the best option.

Advantages

• cast aluminum body;
• ergonomic handle;
• there is an adjustment of the force of impact;
• easy access to the store;
• rubberized inserts.

disadvantages

• weight 700 g;
• high price;
• large dimensions 254x228x29 mm make it difficult to carry in a pocket or on a belt;
• it is more difficult to hammer fasteners into birch plywood (1-2 mm remains, which have to be finished off with a hammer).

BOSCH HT 14 0.603.038.001

Rating: 4.7

The third place in the ranking is taken by a product from a German manufacturer. The stapler is intended for covering furniture or fixing insulating material. Staple type – 53 / A. The main feature of the model is the driving force regulator located on the rear end side. By turning the wheel, you can set the degree of spring tension. This allows you to set the drive depth of fasteners from 4 to 14 mm. The body of the tool is all-metal, therefore, when held in the hand, except for the lever, nothing moves. The handle lock protects against accidental operation. Soft pad does not rub your fingers when pressing. The magazine spring pushes the rig securely against the spout, avoiding misfires. A small ledge is provided at the back for removing poorly clogged fasteners.

Our experts have included the product in the rating, because the stapler beats well, despite its small size. Its dimensions are 28x108x220 mm and easily fit into a pocket. At the same time, the impact force allows you to hammer in fasteners up to 1.4 cm high.Users in reviews report that after 2000 shots the impact force does not weaken.

Advantages

• fuse loop;
• smooth adjustment of the impact force;
• range of staples 4-14 mm;
• all-metal body;
• soft pad on the handle.

disadvantages

• works only with thin staples 0.7 mm;
• there is no individual number on the body to register on the site;
• can only be used for domestic purposes (otherwise the firing pin will be erased).

COBALT 240-683

Rating: 4.6

The fourth in our ranking is a stapler from a Russian brand assembled in India. It is a quality professional tool designed for 53 / A staples. It can also work with 500 type studs and 47F nails. Therefore, in the construction environment it is called '3 in 1'. At the bottom is a retractable store that can hold up to 150 staples for increased productivity. The creators have implemented a spring percussion mechanism in it, which reduces recoil on the hands. To set the required driving force, a wheel is provided on the side. The steel body is durable and withstands drops well. To prevent accidental pressing, the lever is fixed in the folded position with an additional ring.

In our opinion, the stapler deserves a place in the ranking due to the soft cover on the cocking handle. Unlike other models, the lever here is covered with a thick plastic shell and rubber insert. This makes it more voluminous and more comfortable to press regularly. On impact, the recoil is less felt in the hand. Still, this design helps to more reliably hold the tool while working at height.

Advantages

• the store holds 150 units;
• there is an impact force adjustment;
• fastener size 6-14 mm;
• leaf spring for precise impacts and low recoil;
• copes even with Dexster 16 nails.

disadvantages

• high price;
• weighs 800 g;
• no window for controlling the amount of rigging;
• the spout is not elongated.

GROSS 41002

Rating: 4.5

Another German stapler from Gross entered the top five. This is an aluminum model designed for a wide type of fastener: 53 / A / 13/19 / N / 37/59. The height of the staples can be from 6 to 16 mm. It is allowed to tuck nails into the tool to fix thicker chipboard sheets. The model is made of aluminum and equipped with soft pads in the hand grip area. The firing force adjustment is located under the lever, so it does not interfere with repetitive manipulations. Buyers in reviews praise the model for the staple consumption indicator. Through the viewing window, you can see when the supply of consumables runs out, which will help to replenish it in time. Loading the magazine from below speeds up the replacement process and increases productivity.

This product has been added to the top ranking due to its elongated spout. This leaves a small gap between the body and the work surface, allowing the technician to see exactly where to point the apparatus. This improves productivity and facilitates better placement of fasteners for decorative purposes.

Advantages

• aluminium case;
• a wide range of suitable equipment;
• driving force adjustment;
• protruding nose;
• handle locking mechanism.

disadvantages

• high price;
• wide body 45 mm;
• sometimes shoots in pairs;
• the plastic clip is gradually erased and backlash appears.

Centroinstrument 1609

Rating: 4.4

The sixth in the ranking is the product of the domestic manufacturer 'Tsentroinstrument'. The stapler is equipped with a spring mechanism for affecting the staples, which does not bend the legs, unlike spiral devices. There is a power switch under the main lever, which has two positions – soft and hard. Thanks to this, fasteners can be driven into both pine and ash. The case is highly durable and lasts a long time. Replenishment is carried out simply through the end hatch. The model weighs 560 g, which also surpasses most of the rating participants in this category. The height of the U-shaped fasteners is permissible from 4 to 14 mm. The handle locks into place for easy storage.

The stapler was added to the rating as the best in terms of price / quality ratio. Unlike other TOP participants, it costs two to three times cheaper. At the same time, it is made entirely of metal and has soft inserts. The driving force can be adjusted, and through the viewing window you can see the rest of the fasteners in the store. In the reviews, the owners share that when working on driving 1000 staples, not a single misfire occurred.

Advantages

• metal case;
• many rubber pads;
• fits comfortably in the hand;
• store balance indicator;
• spring mechanism.

disadvantages

• requires a lot of effort when pressed;
• only two positions for adjusting the force of the shot;
• there is no spatula for prying the 'back' of the fastener.

Inforce 06-09-42

Rating: 4.3

Another domestic model completes this category. The stapler is designed for fasteners 53 / A and can drive it to a depth of 4-14 mm. The store is refueled from the end, which is simple and convenient. The thumb grip is covered with a thin rubber pad. The main lever is made of steel and ground. To carry the tool, a loop is provided in the pocket to fix the drive. Buyers in the reviews like the smooth adjustment of the impact force, which helps to select the desired degree of impact on the bracket, depending on the density of the material. More expensive models only have modes without intermediate values. The shock spring here is quite powerful and confidently drives U-shaped elements through films, roofing felt or fabrics. But when using it, you need to be ready to give it to your hand.

This is the best household mechanical stapler for the price. The product is suitable for self-repairing chairs, a sofa or stretching a film on a seasonal greenhouse. The model comes with 400 staples, which is enough for the first time.

Advantages

• for staples 4-14 mm;
• end adjustment of the shot force;
• powerful fighting power;
• does not crush rubber when fixing to a tree;
• attractive price.

disadvantages

• no replacement indicator;
• there is no elongated nose;
• only for thin 0.7 mm consumables;
• the safety loop often crawls under the lever and blocks it;
• will not be able to hammer into the chipboard through the fiberboard.

Best cordless staplers

Cordless staplers are powered by a battery that is transmitted to an electric motor. The latter acts on the impact mechanism. This does not require constant effort on the part of the operator and helps to increase the working time. Here are some of the best models in this rating category with good reviews and specifications.

BOSCH PTK 3.6 Li 0.603.968.120

Rating: 4.9

The first place in the rating is taken by a product from Bosch. The cordless stapler features an extended spout for precise positioning. The charging indicator shows how much energy is left in the 1.3 Ah battery. The model is extremely comfortable to hold. The handle is fully rubberized and the trigger is designed for two fingers. A protrusion at the top of the body helps to fit well against the tool. The motor and feed mechanism are located at the bottom for perfect balancing. The side window provides a good view of the stock of fasteners. Together with the stapler, the manufacturer supplies a battery and 1000 staples. In one minute, the device is capable of making up to 30 blows. In the reviews, the owners report that the stapler easily penetrates fabrics, leather, cardboard and chipboard.

In our opinion, the product deserves a place in the rating due to the Push + Release system. This implies that the power tool will fire only when the tip is firmly pressed to the surface and the start key is pressed at the same time. If the spout does not rest, then the trigger button does nothing, and this increases the protection against accidental operation.

Advantages

• battery charging indicator;
• extended nose;
• viewing window to control the fullness of the store;
• 1000 staples included;
• battery capacity 1.3 A / h.

disadvantages

• high price;
• weighs 800 g;
• the force of impact is not regulated;
• the bulky body makes it difficult to work in narrow niches.

MILWAUKEE M12 BST-0

Rating: 4.8

The second place is taken by a stapler from the American manufacturer Milwaukee. This product is equipped with a brush motor powered by a battery attached to the handle. But the battery is not included. The stapler differs from the previous product in the rating with a metal clip, which allows you to attach the tool to a belt to easily climb to a height or perform other processes, freeing your hands. The handle of the device is comfortable and covered with anti-slip pads. The impact force adjustment is located within the thumb reach. The signs '+' and '-' help to orient in which direction to turn the wheel. The nose protrudes forward and it is easy for the master to point the stapler exactly in the right place. Four diodes on the side of the case show the remaining charge. The store has four cutouts through which the supply of consumables is clearly visible.

Our experts ranked the stapler for its improved performance. In one minute, the device is capable of making up to 140 shots. This helps to quickly carry out processes for fixing soft materials, where high accuracy of fixing points is not required.

Advantages

• rubberized handle;
• convenient adjustment of the power of the shot;
• roomy store;
• clip for wearing on a belt;
• protruding spout for precise positioning.

disadvantages

• high price;
• very bulky body;
• the battery will have to be bought separately;
• weighs 1.6 kg.

Best network staplers

Mains staplers are powered by an electric motor, but get their power directly from a single-phase 220 V. This contributes to a more compact body and lighter than battery-powered products, but limits maneuverability. The operator will need an extension cord to work on a ceiling or along a long wall. Here is a ranking of the best devices in this category.

BOSCH PTK 14 EDT 0.603.265.520

Rating: 4.9

We gave the first place in the rating in the category of networked staplers to Bosch PTK 14 EDT. The unit is made in a D-shaped body and equipped with rubber pads on the handle and engine compartment. The power control is placed on the lower part in the form of a large wheel. The electronics accurately set the impact value, which helps to gently drive fasteners into soft materials and confidently drive nails into hard woods. The device weighs 1.1 kg and makes up to 30 beats per minute. The size of the staples is allowed from 6 to 14 mm. The masters in the reviews praise the stapler for its quiet operation and powerful blows. This is a professional tool for comfortable operation. Another plus of the model is its compatibility with nails.

We have placed the product in the rating thanks to the presence of the double hit function (DuoTac). The mode can be selected on the top of the case, where the switch is located with an intuitive designation. In this mode, the device drives two staples into one place at once, which increases the breaking strength. This is useful for fixing roofing materials and films where there is an increased wind load.

Advantages

• 1000 staples as a gift;
• soft pad on the handle;
• controlled execution of a blow when the nose rests;
• stock indicator in the store;
• smooth power control.

disadvantages

• short wire 1.5 m;
• high price;
• bulky body;
• soft base metal.

ZUBR ZSP-2000

Rating: 4.8

The second place in the rating belongs to the domestic product from the Zubr company. The network stapler is designed with optimal weight distribution thanks to the location of the motor behind the handle. The store features convenient filling and can hold up to 50 items. The power of the instrument is 2000 W, which allows up to 20 strokes every minute. The electronic power regulator is located at the end of the handle. Users in the reviews like that the model has a separate switch that completely de-energizes the device. This does not require you to unplug the plug from the socket during short interruptions when the tool is left unattended. To cool the motor, there are perforations in the housing. The device interacts with both nails and U-shaped equipment.

We marked this model in the rating as the most suitable for fixing thick materials (insulation, plywood, roofing felt, etc.). The stapler magazine has advanced parameters that allow staples with a leg height of 15-25 mm, and nails 15-30 mm to be inserted into it. It is an irreplaceable helper on the construction site.

Advantages

• electronic impact force adjustment;
• power 2000 W;
• suitable for all types of fasteners;
• secure grip thanks to the rubber pad;
• hardened steel firing pin.

disadvantages

• the device weighs 1.6 kg;
• the store holds only 50 staples;
• low frequency of beats – 20 per minute;
• periodically pins get stuck in the working part.

Hammer HPE2000C PREMIUM

Rating: 4.7

The third place is given to a model similar in design from an American manufacturer, but the characteristics here are slightly different. With an equal motor with a power of 2000 W, the stapler makes up to 30 strokes in one minute. Staple size 55 allows for tooling heights of up to 25 mm for U-shaped elements and 32 mm for pins. During operation, the device emits a noise of 91 dB. The driving force adjustment wheel is located at the end of the handle. There is also a common toggle switch that cuts off power from the instrument. The manufacturer includes both types of consumables in the kit. A single rubber strip extends from the beginning of the handle to the end of the motor block for a secure grip. The trigger is here with a pronounced relief that prevents the fingers from slipping.

We ranked the stapler among the best because of the narrow nose. Closer to the end, its shape is beveled, which gives good visibility to the operator. Despite the large dimensions of the entire body, the instrument can be precisely positioned in the desired fixation point. The stapler is also able to drive in nails, 32 mm long – all the above models from our rating cannot.

Advantages

• 30 rounds per minute;
• protective clamping mechanism of operation;
• separate voltage switch on the handle;
• electronic power control;
• staples and nails as a gift.

disadvantages

• short power cord;
• weighs 1.8 kg;
• shop for 50 units;
• no double hit function.

Kolner KES 650

Rating: 4.6

Completing this rating category is a model from the little-known German manufacturer Kolner. The goods are assembled at a factory in China. The device has a power of 650 W and strikes with a constant force without the possibility of adjustment. The owners in the reviews note that the stapler fits well in the hand. The remainder of the rig is clearly visible through the long window. All protruding parts of the body are covered with rubber, including the outside of the handle. The wide trigger is convenient for pressing with several fingers at the same time. To make a shot, you first need to press down the small round button on the side, and only then the trigger key. This will prevent the device from firing when accidentally pressed. The tooling is replaced at the bottom by removing the magazine. To release it, just press the latch.

In our opinion, the stapler earned a place in the ranking due to the most affordable price in the category – it is difficult to find cheaper. It also weighs 600 g, which is rare for network models. But when buying such an option, you need to clearly realize that it is suitable only for short-term tasks.

Advantages

• works with staples and pins;
• small dimensions 22x6x16 cm;
• protection against unintentional activation;
• attractive price;
• can hammer T or I nails.

disadvantages

• power is not regulated;
• no double blow;
• store capacity for 50 units;
• short mains cable 2 m;
• soft plastic base.
