I purchased the Makita AT2550A because I have always been impressed with their products. Along with it, I also purchased two boxes of the Dewalt DW16S2-25GAL staples. These staples were advertised as frequently purchased together with the gun on the Home Depot web site. I received the Stapler and Staples in a few days but when I tried to insert the staples into the gun, they did not fit. According to my reading and looking at other web sites, the Dewalt staples should have fit. Needing something quickly, I returned the Makita to Home Depot for a refund and purchased the Dewalt DW451S2 stapler. The staples fit perfectly into the Dewalt and I had no problem completing my project. Besides, The Dewalt DW451S2 was less expensive. I don't know if this is a product error with this one stapler or if the Makita Stapler is just not compatible with the Dewalt Staples. In any case, I would be wary of this issue if purchasing the Makita with Dewalt Staples. I rated this stapler poor due to the issue I encountered.

No issues as of yet. Put about 2000 + staples through it.DO NOT buy dewalt staples.I ordered senco staples.

Dewalt recommend staple did not fit, nothing available anywhere locally complete waste of money and time waiting for this tool to arrive. Makita website recommends 16ga 1” crown which is what was supplied however still does not fit.

So far so good. Powerful lightweight staple gun

Works good

The tool is a little on the bulky side and has no ability to adjust the depth at the tool. It also misfires fairly often need the end of a rack of staples which also are able to roll of the carriage which turned/bumped/jarred, this may be adding to the misfire issues

It worked fantastic

Looks good performed as i expected it just as good as any makita tool.

The stapler has performed well

Descent price, work well, should be available at all stores. Had to purchase online

I bought this to install lath on my house exterior, before stucco. Works great. Super sensitive trigger, sometimes I accidentally laid 2 staples down instead of 1. Very light and has tool belt clip. Did not use extensively but has not jammed on me so far. just what I wanted.

Excellent tool. It perfrormed very well, light weight and handy. Be careful choosing staples to make certain they fit the tool - my first purchase of staples did not fit (too narrow of crown). The staples measured slightly under 1".
