Milwaukee has finally released its highly anticipated M12 Cable Stapler, a game-changing tool for electricians and cable workers. Announced back in October 2021, this is Milwaukee’s first-ever cordless cable stapler, designed to deliver unmatched efficiency, power, and versatility for cable stapling jobs.
What Are Cable Staplers Used For?
Cable staplers are essential tools for securing wires during installation, a requirement by electrical codes. Traditionally, this task involved hand-stapling hundreds or even thousands of staples, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. While manual staplers exist, they often lack the power and consistency needed for professional-grade work. The M12 Cable Stapler eliminates these inefficiencies, offering a faster, more reliable solution for stapling cables in hard-to-reach areas.
Key Features of the Milwaukee M12 Cable Stapler

Completes rough-ins 2x faster than using a hammer.
Sinks up to 1,200 staples on a fully charged CP2.0AH battery.
Compact and Lightweight:
Designed for use in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas.
Can sink staples at a slight angle, eliminating the need for perfect alignment when working overhead or inside stud bays.

Ensures proper alignment of cables, reducing the need for perfect tool alignment during stapling.
Compatibility:

Cordless Design:

How Does It Compare to the DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Cable Stapler?
DeWalt has been a leader in cordless cable staplers with its 20V MAX model, which has received positive reviews for its performance. However, some users have noted issues with fully sinking staples into harder woods or older framing lumber, requiring follow-up with a hammer. Milwaukee’s M12 Cable Stapler aims to address these concerns, offering a more powerful and reliable solution for professionals.
Why Choose the Milwaukee M12 Cable Stapler?
Efficiency: Save time and effort with faster stapling speeds and higher staple capacity.
Versatility: Works in tight spaces and at angles, making it ideal for complex installations.
Reliability: Built to handle tough materials without compromising performance.
Innovation: Milwaukee’s first cordless cable stapler sets a new standard in the industry.
