I cant seem to find the info or get an answer - how heavy is it with the battery fitted?

According to the Milwaukee site, 9.8lb (presumably that’s including battery? ).

M18 FUEL UTILITY FENCING STAPLER | Milwaukee Tool

MILWAUKEE® M18 FUEL Utility Fencing Stapler provides a 6X Increase in productivity and a reduction in Peak Muscle Effort compared to Manual Staple Installation.

Only due for launch next week, so no doubt more suppliers will have the info up very soon.

That's nearly 4.5 bags of sugar for an equivalent weight. A heavy little beast!

About par for the course I think. Dewalt staple gun is 4.1kg (without battery), the KMR is 3.93kg.

I have just bought the impact gun mentioned at the beginning, very impressed. I was looking at the 3/4 but was advised to get the 1/2 as same power so nowt to gain.

The 3/4 is slightly more power 2033 Vs 1898 nm,but my 1/2" takes the tractor wheel nuts off fine and it's easier to get 1/2" impact sockets

If anyone is looking, this Milwaukee fencing stapler is on Powertoolmate at £391 for a bare tool. That price is so far below anyone else that has listed it that it may be a mistake? I have rung to check and they say it is the 'utility stapler' and it is in stock.

They don't stock the staples yet though, so I may have a new toy just to look at next week.

An update on this...

This is indeed the correct staple gun and it feels like a solid bit of kit, as you would expect of Milwaukee.

I ordered staples from another source, who have just informed me that milwaukee tell them there is no uk stock of staples currently, but are expecting them at the end of next week.

I will continue to admire my new toy until then...

Have you gotten any staples to give it a test run yet?

No. They’re being withheld until the warranty on the staple guns run out I reckon.

Powertoolmate reckon they’ll have them in on Monday, so presumably others will too…

Pretty sure Harrison machinery in Ruthin had stock of staples this last week

They were sending out to people who'd had guns off them and seeing what's left. One bloke ordered a gun and fifty boxes of staples

ITS have them listed as coming in soon. McVeigh parker have two pallets ordered even though they haven't got the guns. Milwaukee wanted to charge more to supply them than powertoolmate are charging the public

I suppose a fencing contractor will not be long going through a box.

The DeWalt staples have similiar specs but slightly different shape, does any one know if they are compatible?

Thinking other manufacturers may start supplying stables if suited both brands

There's a firm called sacrofast selling copies for other guns so I expect it's a matter of time. They still sell genuine DeWalt though

Local Paxtons ag dealers had the guns and staples in stock yesterday when I was in
