Milwaukee 2448-20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Milwaukee 2448-20 cable stapler come with a battery, and which M12 packs does it take?
The 2448-20 is a bare tool (model number ends in -20, Milwaukee's tool-only designation). It runs on any M12 battery pack, and Milwaukee rates it at 1,200 staples per charge on an M12 CP2.0 battery. If you are already on the M12 platform, the packs you own for your other 100-plus M12 tools will run it.
2) What kind of cable can I staple with the Milwaukee M12 cable stapler?
It is built for NM-B (Romex) branch circuit wiring and low voltage cable during rough-in. Moveable cable guides let you line the tool up over the run, and Milwaukee says it eliminates most of the manual staple installation on those two cable types. It is not a framing or fence stapler.
3) What staples does the Milwaukee 2448-20 use, and how many does the magazine hold?
It fires Milwaukee 1 inch insulated cable staples, and the magazine holds 45 at a time. Order the staples separately, they are not part of the tool.
4) Will a powered cable stapler actually drive staples to the right depth, or will it crush the cable?
A coil-spring mechanism sets the drive depth, so each staple sinks to the same point rather than depending on how hard you hit it. That consistency is the main reason electricians move off a hammer and staples for NM-B rough-in.
5) Is a cordless cable stapler worth it over hand-driving staples with a hammer?
On volume rough-in, yes. Milwaukee rates the 2448-20 at twice the speed of hammering staples, and a single M12 CP2.0 pack gets you through 1,200 staples. For a handful of drops on a small job the hammer still wins on cost; for a whole house or a multi-family floor, the time back is the argument.
6) How do I tell when the M12 stapler is out of staples before I misfire into the cable?
Two things handle that. A staple viewing window lets you check the magazine at a glance, and dry fire lock out stops the tool from cycling once the magazine is empty, so you will not drive an empty stroke onto the wire.
7) Can I use this stapler overhead in a dark joist bay or attic?
There is an onboard LED work light for stapling in joist bays, attics and unlit rough-in space, plus a two-finger trigger for control when you are working above your head. A reversible belt hook lets left and right handed users park the tool between runs, and a battery fuel gauge tells you where the pack stands before you climb the ladder.
8) What is the exact Milwaukee part number for the M12 cable stapler?
Milwaukee 2448-20. That is the tool-only M12 cable stapler; quote or order by that number to avoid pulling a kitted version with batteries and charger.
