Milwaukee M12 Cable Stapler M12 2448-20 + FREE M12 CP2.5 Battery 48-11-2425
Model Number: MIL244820
REVOLUTIONIZING THE ROUGH-IN: PRECISION CABLE FASTENING WITHOUT THE HAMMER
Roughing in a residential unit used to mean a sore forearm and the constant risk of a stray hammer blow nicking a jacket. This M12 Cable Stapler changes the workflow entirely. By automating the drive with a coil-spring mechanism, we are getting consistent depth every time, ensuring the staple secures the NM-B or low-voltage wire without compressing the insulation or compromising the integrity of the run. The compact footprint is the real winner here—getting into those narrow stud bays or stapling overhead in a crawlspace is no longer a clearance nightmare, allowing for a much cleaner and faster installation than traditional manual methods.
- / Moveable cable guides align the wire perfectly under the firing pin to prevent accidental jacket punctures and ensure code-compliant placement.
- / Coil-spring mechanism delivers consistent driving force, ensuring staples are seated to the correct depth for 14, 12, and 10 AWG NM-B cable.
- / Compact, lightweight frame allows for one-handed operation in tight corners and reduces fatigue during high-volume overhead runs.
- / Fires up to 1,200 staples on a single M12 CP2.0 battery, providing enough runtime to power through a standard residential rough-in without a recharge.
- / Dry-fire lockout prevents the tool from firing when the magazine is empty, protecting the cable jacket and the tool's internal firing pin.
