Why We Love This Deal
Anyone who’s fixed up a Facebook Marketplace chair or re-screened a porch door knows how uncomfortable a manual staple gun gets after extended use. Sure, the job itself is easy, but grip strength usually gives out before the staples do. If you want to save yourself some time (and hand pain), Amazon has a cordless Milwaukee Crown Stapler for less than $100 right now.
The $138 Milwaukee M12 Crown Stapler is now just $99 at Amazon ahead of the Prime Big Deal Days sale coming up on Oct. 6, and over 500 have been bought in the last month. The reason the price is so good is because you only get the tool, which is intended to save the user money. For those who don’t have M12 batteries, you can grab a basic one for about $40, otherwise, the ones you have will be fine.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: Alloy steel, plastic
- Power: Milwaukee M12 battery
- Staples: 3/8-inch flat crown, 1/4 to 9/16-inch legs
- Capacity: Up to 1,5000 staples per charge
- Best For: Upholstery, window screens, house wrap, insulation, chicken wire, landscape fabric
Crown staplers are basically a more heavy-duty version of a regular stapler for repairs and projects, making the same U-shaped staples.
The 3/8-inch crown is what you’d use to pin fabric or mesh; the shorter 1/4-inch works for upholstery and cabinets, and the 9/16-inch works for insulation and bigger projects. Sequential mode fires one staple with each trigger pull for careful work, with a contact mode that fires every time the nose touches down for long runs of wrap or wire. You also get a power dial to control how deep each staple sinks, along with a dry-fire lockout keeping it from denting things when the magazine is empty.
Milwaukee gear is always a reliable choice, but this one is particularly good for anyone already on Milwaukee’s M12 platform, since it uses only M12 batteries. Sure, a manual staple gun costs a lot less, but you pay for it in hand fatigue on any big project, and a Milwaukee stapler will last much longer.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One helpful shopper wrote, “This will save your hand and wrist if you do a little or a lot of stapling.”
Compared to other crown staplers, this is one of the best, according to shoppers: “Puts many of the others in this tool category to shame.” A second shopper wrote that it drives staples consistently without jamming, which “makes a big difference when you’re trying to move fast and stay efficient on a job.”
The Milwaukee M12 Crown Stapler is ready to go for $99, and it’s an especially useful pick-up if you already use M12 gear. The deal could end at any moment, though, so you should grab one soon if you’re interested.
