Electrically-operated vs. Pneumatic models
We’ve come to clarify this thing once and for all. We will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of electric and pneumatic staple guns, allowing you to make better decisions when purchasing one.
Choosing the right one depends on why you are buying it, where do you need it and what kind of features are you looking for.
Even though there is a market full of different types of staple guns, they can be simply divided into categories based on where you want to use them and where they take their power from. The three categories include manual or hand-powered, electric or battery/cord ones, or pneumatic or air-powered models. They do not only take their power from different sources, but also vary in the ease of use, the amount of power they deliver, and the length and strength of the ammo used.
Today we are going to make a comparison between the electrically-powered ones and the pneumatic ones.
Powered by electricity models
Electrically-powered ones, like Paslode 135053 or Duo Electric tacker are fan favorites and the best sellers because they use battery power to run on or they get their power from an electrical outlet. Another upside of using them is that they have triggers that require minimal effort, unlike the manual ones that require you to push harder into the material.
- Advantages
The PROs of using these models are many compared to others, like price. Compared to others, the electrically powered ones are the cheaper solution, therefore are more popular. Because not many can afford to buy one with a high price tag, they choose the cheaper version, and the one that’s more lightweight and stable.
These machines are smaller compared to others, and allow you to move them around easier, ideal ones if you are planning on moving the workshop from one place to another frequently. They aren’t noisy, which make many people who cannot take high levels of noise buy them.
Their design is more simplistic and modern with many more safety measures and is considered to be safer to work with. However, this doesn’t mean that they are safe per se, so you still need to be careful when you are working with them.
Another epic advantage is that they do not require much effort to work with, as they are stable and firm. In addition, they weight way less than the alternative.
- Disadvantages
First of all, it requires electricity to run, and if a power disruption occurs, or you do not have access to a power outlet, your work will need to wait so if you are on a tight schedule you could risk of losing an entire day worth of hard work. However, this problem could be solved if you own a power generator. In addition, the fact that they use electricity to power up might make your bills rise. Some of these models are known for breaking up too soon or having a high rate of failure if they are used every day. But that depends on the quality of production.
Pneumatic models
Pneumatic ones use an intricate pneumatic system, which features bursts or air, and proper air pressure to deliver the force needed. The kind of mechanism uses an air reservoir, as well as a valve plunger, which allows air to flow.
- Advantages
One of the biggest advantages is that it gives you raw power, because these units are, hands down, the best solution for working with tough construction materials.
Then there is the low-maintenance factor because they require far less care than their electric competitor. However, it is important to give them the care they need in order to last longer and to make sure everything runs as it supposed to be.
If you decided to buy one of these units, you will receive high performance, longevity, and durability.
- Disadvantages
The biggest one is by far the air compressor, because people do not like a heavy and big piece of equipment lying in their backyard, so they tend to avoid buying them. And there is a lack of portability as well, which is something that a lot of customers are bothered by. Then comes the noise part, these machines make a lot of it, something that not everyone can be comfortable with, even though there are earplugs for that. People tend not to buy them because they do not like to be exposed to high levels of noise.
The pressurized air can cause bad injury to the eye, if the machine is not used properly.
There is lubrication as well as a part of the disadvantages. Not many people want to deal with lubricating their machines with oil, because it is a messy job, even though that can prolong the unit’s life.
In the end in the battle between the two models, the winner is the one that has the features you need, for a specifical job you need to do. Even more, it comes to what you prefer. Have you decided which one you are going to choose?
Regardless of the reason why you need an electric stapler, you have come to the right place. Our round-up of the best models on the market at the moment ensures that making a pick from the roster we put at your disposal will end with you finishing projects and jobs faster than ever, and all in a secure manner.
For those in need of a high-capacity tool, the Hitachi N5010A is the smartest pick amongst our selections as it can store up to 150 staples at a time in its magazine. It even makes monitoring the number of staples left a cinch due to the open design of the magazine.
If you’d like a unit that can provide you with a versatile range, then Milwaukee 2447-20 M12 is a great choice. Not only does it come with an ergonomic design, created to eliminate built-up stress, but it can fire up to 1500 staples per charge. Even more, it is a cordless design, which features a belt hook for increased mobility as well as a dry-fire lockout to prevent misfires.
If the budget is a concern, then you need a budget-smart solution like Stanley TRE550Z. But don’t let the price fool you, as it provides you with a dual function, as it can be used as a stapler and as a nailer. It features two settings, for adaptability depending on your project, while its non-marring design will keep your work safe from scratches or marks. It can store 100 staples at a time, thus it won’t require often refill.
