In the summer of 2017 I bought one of these 1 inch Makita staplers. It was very reliable until December 2019 when the interior broke. and it is on order until February 2020. I guess I'll buy another one and end up having a backup. The only problem we're having is the staples getting stuck, but that's an easy fix. It could be staples. The tool is intended for daily commercial use when delivering building materials. Crates It was a reliable and durable tool.
