Awesome tool! This 18-g narrow crown stapler kit (Milwaukee Model 2749-21CT) with stapler, battery, bag, and charger, is a perfect companion to the GenII M18 18-g Brad nailer. So similar it’s hard to tell them apart at a glance, it operates just as flawlessly in single-fire or multi-fire mode. It’s comfortable to hold, well balanced, and of reasonable weight to use overhead for extended periods. I tested it on pressure treated 2x lumber and 3/4” oak on edge, and it drove 1.5” staples below the surface of the wood with no problem. I’ve only fired a few dozen staples so far but the battery charge indicator doesn’t show any sign of discharge.There us no wind-up noise when the unit is preparing to fire or when the “bump” contact is engaged – just a quick fire when the trigger is pulled or when operating in bump mode. Power and Mode buttons are sealed “bubble” switches and take a deliberate, long push to activate (about 1.5 seconds). There is also a low-battery indicator that apparently illuminates when the battery is very low. The one minor area for improvement is the LED illumination location. Its location on the back grip near the magazine release causes a shadow in front of the tip. There is no easy-open “door” to access jammed staples. They must be removed through the loading magazine slot. I’ve had no staple jams so far, but that’s what the instructions indicate. This is my first stapler so that may be common, but I’ve come to appreciate the easy access in front to unjam my nailers. The belt clip is well placed and relocatable, secured by a T-25 screw that, in a pinch, can be operated with a narrow slotted screwdriver. Another out-of-the-park hit by Milwaukee.

In working in a cabinet shop I had been waiting for a decent cordless stapler for many years. When this was released i was initially hesitant as i had been burned in a past purchase with something simply unreliable. Additionally i was hesitant to jump into another battery platform. Once offered on sale as a kit for what was initially the price of the bare tool i made the leap. And so far im glad i did. Fires as quickly as a pneumatic, with nearly no lag on rapid fire. Battery life is excellent and has fired nearly 1k staples on a single charge ( 2 AH pack). Setting below surface takes getting used to, have to delay moving for a half second. So far the only flaw i have found is its inability to back out a misplaced staple by dry firing in reverse due to it needing to have staples loaded to fire. Bot more often than not the freedom it provides by losing the hose and compressor makes this a great tool. Ive actually been pleasantly surprised in reflection that ” hey, i don’t need the hose, i can just “go”.Well done, Milwaukee. Well done

This is a really good quality narrow crown stapler. I work in construction and put up hundreds of corner beads per day. After owning a Dewalt 18 Gauge stapler for over a year I thought I’d try out Milwaukees new tool and I loved it from the first use. It is lighter than the Dewalt and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a narrow crown stapler. But as mentioned there is one flaw in the tool and that is the slider is made of a soft rubber instead of hard metal. As I put on over a 1000 staples per day my slider cracked after just over two weeks of use. I now have to return it for a replacement and will have to engineer a piece of metal to my new one to ensure it doesn’t crack again. I still give this tool 4 stars as most people won’t use it as heavily as mine. I just hope Milwaukee make this change to their tools sooner rather than later.

I have been waiting for this crown stapler and finally bought it to construct a wire mesh fence for a chicken run. Absolutely one of the best Milwaukie products I’ve seen so far.

This stapler is amazing. Every bit as powerful as a pneumatic stapler with zero ramp up time. I would recommend it to anyone. The only thing i would say is, you should have bought it yesterday.

Another fine one in the M18 line from Milwaukee. I have yet to be disappointed by a tool in the M18 line and this one is no exception. It is built with the same heavy duty quality you see across the lineup. I like the design. The staples are very easy to load no matter what length you are dropping in. And the depth adjustment for the driver is very easy to adjust (the dial adjustment at the top). A battery lasts a long time. I bought a few different brands of staples to see how it does with different ones and I’ve not had any issues with any of them feeding. And the holding power of staples versus brads or small nails is just great. I’m planning to build a storage box this weekend for some rebar, EMT and form pins. And this is my tool of choice to sheath the outside of the box with treated ¾ plywood. I have no doubt it will hold and stay put. And it is a lot faster (and cheaper) to use this than screws. This is a quality tool and with the variety of staple lengths it will accept it is just the thing for a lot of different jobs. After using this I’m going to be taking a close look at the brad nailer. I’ve got a pneumatic brad nailer but this is so much nicer than dragging an air hose around. And it works every bit as good if not better since there is no wait time when a compressor kicks on. I’m just seeing little need these days for air driven fastener tools with options like this.

A little heavy but runs flawlessly.

Expensive but worth it. Love cordless life. Easy to adjust depth of penetration. No set up, pull from box and go. Perfect for carpet jobs, Thin underlayment, back panels on cabinets. And found it useful to hold shims in place for setting cabinets.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 18-Gauge 1/4 in. Narrow Crown Stapler Kit w/ Battery 2Ah, Charger & Bag is worth a look. This crown stapler is light weight at five pounds without the battery. It is a pleasure not to have a compressor cord trailing behind you as you work or listen to the noise of the compressor. The tool holds a clip of staplers from 3/8-inch to 1 1/2-inches which is pretty standard. It fires them seemingly as fast as you can pull the trigger, bump actuated, too. It uses a similar design as with other Milwaukee type nailers. If you’ve used one of their nailers you quickly know how to handle this one. The layout is similar. The kit comes with everything to use it out of the box, but no staples included. It even comes with a large over-sized soft side storage bag that is really nice. It will hold plenty of extra’s. I’m glad Milwaukee has gone over to bags from the previous hard cases. They were great protection, but just too bulky for my needs. The tool comes with a belt hook that works on either the left or right side. It is well done, substantial and not the earlier thinner ones around. The lighter weight tool means you are actually going to use it.One of my uses for crown staples is for thin wood strips. They avoid the necessity to clamp, maybe add a line of glue. Now a line of staples can hold everything very tight and fast, too. It functions a lot like a pin nailer for thicker material. Crown staples are also great for soft materials, too like insulation sheeting. The crown head provides plenty of holding power. The feature I like with this Milwaukee stapler is it doesn’t dry fire. If you are down to the bottom of the strip the tip actuator will not fire blanks. Dry firing can be annoying when working fast. The tool’s mechanical mechanism is precision made, haven’t had any jams or protruding staples so far using Freeman staples once it is setup. The tool has an excellent oversize depth control wheel that holds the setting once dialed in. It has plenty of range to handle all variations of long or short staples, soft or hard materials. Shot a couple of strips so far and am impressed. The tool is up to Milwaukee’s quality standard. I find myself using a stapler more often for quick work and with Milwaukee’s cordless addition to the other one I own, will definitely be the one to grab first.

This is a game changer for our Construction Technology program! My students love using this to install F channel, soffit, underlayment and other various trims/accessories using this tool. The battery lasts a LONG time and not having to drag an air hose around behind you is a HUGE selling point. It shoots staples very fast and had a “bump fire” setting that is great for quick fastening. There is zero ramp up time. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone!
