How Old

I had a cordless stapler 30 years ago. It shot the same staples as my air guns. Like so many cordless tools, when the batteries went bad, replacing them cost more than the whole rig.

If you're having a hard time finding one now, it isn't because the technology hasn't been invented yet. More likely because they never caught on.

Sounds like my cordless drill. I go through one about every 4 or 5 years. New batteries cost as much as the drill. I have an air drill and a corded drill but the cordless drill is just so much more convenient. I would seriously consider a cordless stapler if they were available and not cost prohibitive.

Another thing to consider is my Bea gun is slim. It can fit into some tight spaces. Those rechargeable batteries are pretty big.

I have moved to Ridgid with the LSA (Lifetime Service Agreement).   I'm on my third set of batteries, all covered by the LSA.

I had to buy a new tool box last week.  Went to HD - there was Milwaukee, Husky, Stanley, and Ridgid brand.  By far the Ridgid brand was far superior than the rest. That's what I purchased and glad I did.

My neighbor helped me build a wall in the shop. He had a Ridged impact drill. Nice and compact tool. When he told me it had a lifetime warranty I couldn't believe it. That's an awesome warranty.
