This new cordless staple gun drives staples into hard materials with less effort.
Powered by an M12 battery, the Milwaukee 2447-20/2447-21 cordless electric staple gun drives 3/8-in. crown staples from 1/4 in. to 9/16 in. long. It weighs about 3-1/2 lb. and will fit easily in most tool belts. It has an attached pusher for the magazine, so you won’t lose it during reloads.

Maybe you could tell us what size and gauge/type of staples the unit can handle. Maybe also an average guesstimate as to how long the battery will last and how long to recharge? How much for an extra battery would be helpful as well. Happy New Year to the guys at my favorite magazine.
It takes 3/8 crown T50 staples in lengths from 1/4 to 9/16 in. The battery lasts a long time and takes 30 to 40 min to recharge.
