The Milwaukee M12 BCST 12v Cordless Compact Cable Stapler is an efficient tool for fastening cable...The Milwaukee M12 BCST 12v Cordless Compact Cable Stapler is an efficient tool for fastening cables. It's twice as fast as manual installation, eliminating much of the hand stapling of low-voltage cable into wood. The stapler features movable cable guides for proper alignment and a compact, lightweight design for ease of use in tight spaces and overhead applications. It also includes a dry-fire lockout to prevent firing without staples and can drive 25mm staples into framing materials. The large magazine holds 45 staples, reducing reloading downtime. An LED work light aids in low-light conditions, and it fires up to 1200 staples per charge with a REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 Ah battery. The reversible belt hook offers customizable wear. It is powered by a premium 4-pole brushed motor and REDLITHIUM™ battery, with REDLINK™ electronics for power, run time, and durability. This tool is part of a flexible battery system compatible with all MILWAUKEE® M12™ batteries. This model is sold as a bare unit, without batteries or a charger.
