          Now this is a fantastic tool. It doesn’t seem to matter what size cable I am running but the staples always seem to have just the right amount of pressure holding the product.

          Great Product, needs update without buying new one
          Just got this product. Confirmed with other reviews, great product but needs to redesign. No power to staple harder wood. With that goes the staples to be strong. No staple size choices for smaller cable, too loose. Needs a hammer to complete the task. No adjustments to increase penetration of staples. Needs adapter for use of smaller staples. Hoping modification kit is available without buying another new model. Pic sample shown on soft wood.

              First of all the battery life is incredible. I didn't know how the 2 amp hour battery would compare with my bigger 20v Dewalt batteries, all my Dewalt batteries last forever and this one isn't an exception. I have put a whole box of staples through it over two days, a garage rough in and a smaller residential rough in. The battery is still showing 3/3 bars, I am now not even going to bother bringing my spare battery and charger. One tip to help you use less staples, and this also makes the staple hold tighter. When you pull the trigger to staple your wire push into it a little. When you do it on engineered joists push a little harder with your off hand on the back. Its funny to see people claiming to be electricians not figure this out when I figured it out halfway through my first staple box. In the first half of my stapling I stapled excessively because I hadn't figured out I could adjust retention by how hard I pushed. What did I staple though? Data runs - 3 cat5s and a coax on each one x5 A ton of home runs in 12/2, it handled doubling, and even trippling up of the wire like it was nothing. A 10/3 for a dryer which again went beautifully. Another really awesome way you can use this stapler is to put the bottom at the last staple and hit it again. I could do most of my stapling today one handed because the head of the stapler held the wire up. The prongs that go around the wire also allowed me to straighten the wire and hold, and staple it all with one hand. This one handed operation is a godsend up on a ladder, you can do more with less ladder moves. Whoever came up with the "2x faster than manual hammering" in the Dewalt marketing office was generously understating how much time this thing saves. One more time for the little girl that returned his stapler because it "didn't staple hard enough to hold the wire straight", push into it and work a little, Newtons laws apply. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This stapler hits them powerfully meaning if you aren't pushing it will bounce back slightly and lead to less penetration. In other words don't be dissuaded from buying this because of people who don't understand physics or nay sayers saying they are having a hard time with staple availability. The staples will come and are already very available.

                The Dewalt DCN701 Cordless Cable Stapler is built for residential wiring applications. It is used of fastening Romex brand wires and cables. The cable stapler is twice as fast as manual hammer stapling. It has a proprietary cable guide for aligning the staple over cable meaning that it help preventing putting a staple into the cable or Romex wires. It has a center -mount LED helps to provide light to see the area you are trying to staple. It is compatible with the Dewalt DRS1800 1” insulated cable staples. IT comes with DCN701 Cordless cable stapler, one 20V Max DCB203 battery, charger, belt clip and kit bag. It does not come with any staple so you will have to purchase them separately. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty on the tool and the battery. It very simple to use and fast. Love it. Just a note: There were some complains about not having the staples in stock, they do have them now.

                The DeWALT 20V MAX Cordless Cable Stapler is built for residential wiring applications, primarily fastening Romex brand wires and cables to your 2 x 4 framing. This stapler has a cable guide that helps to drive staples over cable. When stapled to a single cable it leaves a little space between the cable and the staple. It is capable of stapling 14 to 10 cable gauges, 2-wire & 3-wire. It can staple double stacked cable, excluding 10-3 cable gauge. The compact frame and lightweight design are ideal for tight spaces. A center-mounted LED light helps to eliminate shadows and illuminate the work area in low light conditions. It uses DEWALT DRS1800 1 in. insulated cable staples.The tool comes with a battery, battery charger and tool bag. I only wish I had this cable stapler when I was wiring my new bedroom addition to my home instead of having to use individual cable nails which is so slow and labor intensive. In addition if you mishit the cable staple with your hammer, as I have often done, you need to remove the staple and re-nail. As always DeWALT has come up with an excellent tool for both the homeowner as well as the professional.
