DEWALT DCN701B 20V MAX* Cordless Cable Stapler

Twice the Speed of Manual Stapling. Zero Jacketing Nicks. Total Overhead Comfort.

The DEWALT DCN701B is the definitive cordless solution for residential and commercial electrical rough-ins. Designed specifically for fastening Romex® (NM-B), MC cable, and low-voltage wires (CAT5/Coax), this stapler eliminates the physical strain and "smashed finger" hazards of manual hammering. Featuring a specialized proprietary cable guide, the tool automatically centers itself over the wire to ensure every staple is driven safely and accurately without over-driving.

For the professional at The Fastener Group, the DCN701B is a productivity powerhouse. Its compact 8-inch height and lightweight 4.7 lb frame allow it to fit easily between studs and in tight attic or crawlspace corners. With an extended trigger for multiple grip orientations and a center-mounted LED to eliminate shadows, it is the most ergonomic way to manage high-volume wire runs across 2x4 framing and LVL beams.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• 2X Faster Than Manual Stapling: Significantly reduces labor time during first-fix installations, allowing you to finish residential rough-ins in half the time.
• Proprietary Cable Guide: An integrated alignment bridge protects cables by centering the staple over the wire, preventing accidental nicks or shorts.
• Compact & Lightweight Design: At only 12" tall and 4.7 lbs, it reduces user fatigue during repetitive overhead work and fits in restricted joist spaces.
• Broad Cable Compatibility: UL-approved for 14-gauge to 10-gauge Romex® and suitable for coaxial, ethernet, and security cables.
• Tool-Free Stall Release: Quickly clears mechanical stalls without additional tools to keep your workflow moving.
• Dry-Fire Lockout: Automatically stops firing when the magazine is empty to protect the driver blade and alert the user to reload.
• LED Work Light: Center-mounted LED provides shadow-free illumination in dark attics, basements, and mechanical rooms.
