New compact, lightweight staplers from Makita 18 January 2017

Makita’s two new 10mm battery powered staplers, DST111 and DST112, offer a host of advanced technical features including single shot or bump fire operation, adjustable driving depth and an anti-dry-fire safety system.

Replacing existing models, the new Makita DST112 is powered by a Makita 18V lithium-ion battery whilst the DST111 model is a 14.4V version, which will deliver 5,000 shots from the 3.0Ah battery. Both new staplers have magazine capacity for 150 staples of 10mm width, either 7mm or 10mm depth and 0.5mm x 0.7mm wire size.
These new compact, lightweight Makita cordless staplers have selectable firing modes that offer the choice between bump firing and trigger sequential control. The anti-dry-fire safety mechanism requires the nose tip to be pressured against the material for firing to take place when the trigger is pressed. A trigger lock must always be applied when the machine is put down.
The magazine has also been moulded from plastic to reduce the overall machine weight and has a viewing window to check remaining staple stock. The staplers also have an LED job light, belt hook and soft grip rgonomically designed handle.
