Milwaukee M12™ Cable Stapler (2448-20)

Rough-In Faster. Finish Stronger. The Only Battery-Powered Solution Built to Replace the Hammer for Electricians.

The Milwaukee M12™ Cable Stapler is a game-changer for electrical contractors. Engineered to deliver a 2x faster stapling speed compared to manual hammering, this tool significantly reduces the physical toll of roughing in residential and commercial jobsites. Specifically optimized for NM-B (Romex) and low-voltage cables, the 2448-20 ensures that every staple is driven to the perfect depth—tight enough to secure the wire, but with enough clearance to prevent damaging the insulation.

With its ultra-compact 6.5” width and lightweight design, this stapler provides access to tight stud bays and overhead joists where swinging a hammer is impossible.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• 2x Faster Than Manual Stapling: Dramatically improves jobsite productivity by eliminating the need to hold staples and swing a hammer in awkward positions.
• Optimized Cable Guide: The integrated moveable guide centers the tool over the cable for consistent, professional placement every time you pull the trigger.
• Code-Compliant Firing: Specifically designed for use with Milwaukee® MNM1-600 1" Insulated Cable Staples, meeting the standards for securing residential wiring.
• Compact & Lightweight Design: At under 5 lbs (with battery), it reduces user fatigue during long rough-ins and fits easily into your tool pouch or between narrow framing.
• 1,200 Staples Per Charge: Pair with an M12™ CP2.0 battery to staple an entire residential wing without needing to swap power sources.
• Dry Fire Lockout: Automatically stops the tool from firing when the magazine is empty, protecting the driver blade and preventing damage to the wire.
• LED Workspace Light: Illuminates dark stud bays and crawl spaces, ensuring you hit your mark in low-light conditions.
