A perfect pick for big upholstery jobs, finish carpentry tasks, and cabinetry applications, the DeWalt D51422K Heavy-Duty 18 Gauge Narrow Crown Stapler allows you to produce precisely finished products quickly and efficiently. With the ability to handle 1/4-inch narrow crown staples that range in length from 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inches, this stapler offers quick, tool-free adjustment with a thumb wheel and depth setting that is indexed for easy reference, lockable for security, and repeatable for consistency. A convenient side window provides a visual reference point, so you always know when it's time to reload. And an over-molded no-mar pad allows excellent visibility while reducing marring on your work surface, which is especially nice for real finish applications. The 360-degree exhaust can be adjusted without the use of any tools, allowing you to keep air and debris away from your work area and out of your face, while an intuitively placed trigger lock-off lets you disable the trigger whenever the stapler is not in use for improved safety. This DeWalt High Performance Industrial Tool is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

tends to stick:
I like the light weight and the staples feed very well. The safety nose piece tends to stick on accasion hence 4 stars but I'm satisfied with it.
What a deal:
I purchased this item from Amazon and paid far less than anything from the Big box stores. The stapler came in a very nice case with all the stadard parts...it has preformed flawlessly and exceeded my expetations. After I purchased this Amazon dropped the price 10.00 more dollars which they quickly credited back what a deal. Dewalt makes great air tools I will definetly try them again.
Disappointed:
This stapler requires daily oiling, which is not stated in the Amazon description nor on the DeWalt website. The better tools in this class are oil-free.
This tool comes with NO air fitting. You need to go buy an air nipple before you can use it. Again, the better tools in the class come with a swiveling air fitting.
The better tools also have a belt hook, which the DeWalt doesn't.
Yes, this tool is inexpensive. And for good reason. Do yourself a favor and buy a better tool.

Good value for limited use:
The tool is solid and performs well in limited situations. Its narrow staple works well for attaching wood and other stiff materials to wood. I found it ill suited for attaching felt to wood. I'm not disappointed with it because I knew its limitations beforehand.
