Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The DeWalt D51431 Heavy Duty 1-to-2-inch 16-gauge 1/2-inch Medium Crown Stapler features a lightweight design with enhanced maneuverability for minimized user fatigue. With a cycle rate of 20 fasteners per second (at 100 psi), this stapler provides a speed rating that works as fast as you do. A low air-consumption rating consumes less air per shot, allowing the tool to cycle faster and more consistently, and a clean nose area aids in a more exact fastener placement. A tool-free jam clear feature eliminates downtime from bent fasteners caught in the nose piece, and a tool-free depth adjustment assists in locating an ideal depth setting. Other features include a tool-free 360-degree exhaust that channels air and dust away from the user and a trigger lock-off that allows the trigger to be disabled when not in use. Backed by a manufacturer's 3-year warranty, this stapler comes with a pair of DeWalt safety glasses, two Allen wrenches, and a replacement sequential trigger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs Break-in, August 21, 2006

By	Karl W. White (Central Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As received the staples wouldn't feed properly. Talked to DeWalt and "They just don't have any problems with this model. Get it replaced." Gotit replaced but meanwhile the original worked better every time it was used.
The rplacemement arrived- a quick check showed the staple feed area to be extremely tight also. I sent the replacement back & kept the original.
I expect the tool will become superior with a little more break-in time - or I may just take a little sandpaper to the bar over which the staples slide. I'm using Bostich 1/2 X 2 staples. These are galvanized - another brand or non-galvanized staples might feed OK.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jerry's review, September 1, 2007

By	J. Barnes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First, I like DeWalt equipment, especially my workshop-table saw. But this new nailer I don't like. I only like sequential triggering - here's the problem: The gun will not fire every time you pull the trigger unless you follow a strict sequence- i.e. after firing if you release the trigger before lifting gun off the material it will not fire the next time you pull the trigger. This idiosyncrasy is very frustrating. Thinking this just can't be right, I took gun to DeWalt service center in Little Rock. They said that's the way it is. You must hold trigger down until gun is lifted off the work piece or else the head will not re-extend for next shot. DeWalt help us out here. Other nailers don't have this problem. If you like the bump trigger you won't see this problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars my staple gun dose have a feed problem, April 21, 2009

By	Anthony S. Cappiello (Sun Valley Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received my staple gun and I am having a problem with the feed. as another reviewer said I think it will break in and be an exelant gun. I will probably take mine apart and sand the slide so that staples move smoothly through the gun. It seems to only be hanging up near the front, (due to the paint). as for the sequential trigger problem that another reviewer mentioned, my gun came with two different triggers so if you don't like the way it is firing you can change it. All in all I feel it is a good gun for the price. I bought mine from grizzly 99.95 on sale.
