Good, but not great

I recently bought this specifically to hang some long runs of romex. Conceptually this is a great tool. I did run into issues with the staples not setting deep enough and having to hammer them down after initial stapling. The issue was specifically happening when it was a single piece of romex (12 or 14 guage). Any time i was securing 2 pieces of romex together I had no issues. I really wish there was a power adjustment on this. That said even with this issue it did greatly increase the speed at which I was able to complete the job, so if time is a concern for you I would recommend this tool
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great for most situations, some times staples need hit an extra time to get them snug.

I’m an electrical contractor and I have four of these stapler’s love the way that they save me time when they are working correctly at least two of them stay in the repair shop all of the time. Waiting on someone else to come out with one hopefully it’ll be a lot better than theses are
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just stapled my solar panel 12 AWG Romex in the attic.
I was about to write this review on the web site where I bought it, but was not allowed because I wrote a negative review on a show they published which has nothing to do with this excellent product.

Game Changer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had 3,000' of 12 and 14 ga wire to install myself. This made the job so much faster and neater. Being able to hold the wire nice and flat while you staple with the other hand. I triple stacked wires and again with my one hand I could keep the stack nice and neat. I never once miss fired to nick a line. The light is great. All of the overhead stapling was so much easier because you can again stretch out the wire with one hand and hit it with 2 or 3 staples with the other from one position. Also there's a decent amount of power to send the staples home (unlike those manual wire staplers)
I would recommend this to a friend!
