Best DeWalt 20V MAX Staple Guns

TL;DR: The Funnywhale Cordless Brad Nailer‑Stapler costs $98.76, fires up to 2 nails per second, and ships with 1,000 nails plus 1,000 narrow‑crown staples for versatile DIY projects.

What really sets this tool apart is its 2‑in‑1 design: an 18‑gauge brad nailer paired with a narrow‑crown stapler, both fed from the same lightweight body. The package includes 1,000 5/8"‑to‑1‑1/4" brad nails and 1,000 2/5"‑to‑1" staples, so you can switch between fasteners without swapping tools. A brushless motor drives a firing rate of up to 2 nails per second, and the tool offers both sequential and contact actuation for precise or bump‑fire work.

Compared with the four other models in this roundup, the Funnywhale sits in the premium price tier at $98.76, making it pricier than the sub‑$60 ReliaRoads unit but still below the $104.99 Justhere offering. Its lightweight classification matches the ReliaRoads tool, which is marketed as 20% lighter than competitors, and it feels lighter than the Justhere model that weighs 3 pounds. Unlike the Adotocam and Singtip units, Funnywhale does not list an integrated LED light, and its magazine capacity isn’t disclosed, though competitors such as Justhere and Adotocam specify 90‑100 nails. The tool‑free jam release and double‑protection safety switch give it a practical edge over models that rely solely on a single safety feature.

Reviewers consistently praise the versatility of having both nails and staples in one cordless package, noting that the brushless motor feels smoother and the ergonomic grip reduces fatigue on longer jobs. The tool‑free jam release also earns frequent mentions for saving time. On the downside, users point out that you must purchase a DeWalt 20V MAX battery separately, and the 4.2‑star rating from 218 reviews hints at occasional reliability concerns that some owners have experienced.

TL;DR: The Adotocam Cordless Brad Nailer delivers 2‑3 nails per second from a compact 10.2‑in body, but its 3.8‑lb weight and 1¼‑in nail limit keep it in the mid‑range DIY niche.

This tool’s standout spec is its firing rate of 2‑3 nails per second, driven by a brushless motor that fits into a 10.2‑in length. It also carries a 100‑nail / 85‑staple magazine and weighs 3.8 lb, giving you a solid feel without being overly bulky. The included LED indicator and dual‑trigger lock add a layer of safety while you work.

Compared with the other four nailers in our roundup, the Adotocam sits a bit heavier than the ReliaRoads model, which tips the scales at 2.9 lb, and the Justhere unit at 3 lb. Its 100‑nail capacity is lower than Singtip’s 1,000‑nail stash but higher than Justhere’s 90‑nail magazine. In terms of speed, Funnywhale tops out at up to 2 nails per second, so the Adotocam’s 2‑3 nails per second gives it a modest edge. ReliaRoads offers more fasteners (1,600 total) and a lighter chassis, while Singtip supplies 2,000 fasteners but lists no firing rate.

Everyday users praise how easily the tool swaps onto existing DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, noting the convenience of not having to buy a proprietary pack. Reviewers also highlight the consistent performance on softwoods and upholstery, though a handful mention occasional jamming when using batteries smaller than the recommended 4 Ah+. Professional reviewers echo the sentiment, calling the 2‑in‑1 brad‑and‑staple design “well‑suited for detailed trim work” while noting the nail‑length ceiling limits its use on heavier trim.

Beyond speed, the Adotocam ships with 2,000 pcs of staples and nails, a depth‑adjustment wheel, and an LED status light that shifts from red (low battery) to green (full) and flashes on overheat. Its 18‑GA gauge and compatibility with a wide range of DeWalt 20V batteries make it a flexible addition for anyone already invested in that ecosystem.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option — the Adotocam Cordless Brad Nailer offers a reliable 2‑3 nails‑per‑second rate and versatile 2‑in‑1 design.

Avoid if: You need heavy‑duty performance, longer nails, or the lightest possible tool for prolonged overhead work.

TL;DR: For $59.99 the ReliaRoads Cordless Brad Nailer delivers 1600 fasteners, a 2.9‑lb lightweight frame, and a 12‑inch LED light, making it the most value‑packed tool in its class.

The standout spec is the included 1600 nails and staples, which means you can finish a full DIY project without hunting for extra fasteners. Weighing just 2.9 lbs, the tool feels featherlight in the hand, and its compact 6″ nose lets you reach into cabinets and attics that larger guns can’t access.

Compared with the other four models in this roundup, the ReliaRoads unit is priced under $60 and is noticeably lighter than most competitors. While some rivals bundle larger fastener counts, the 1600‑piece supply still outpaces many budget options, and the 2.9‑lb body is lighter than the typical 3‑plus‑pound tools listed by peers. Its dual‑mode quick‑switch magazine also gives it versatility that many of the higher‑priced guns lack.

Reviewers consistently praise the dual‑trigger safety system and the auto‑lock feature for preventing accidental dry‑fires, especially when working overhead. The built‑in LED that shines 12 inches ahead is frequently mentioned as a lifesaver in dim closets or under‑cabinet jobs. Users also note the 5/8" – 1‑1/4" nail range and 1/4 inch staple crown cover most light‑to‑medium carpentry tasks, from furniture assembly to carpet edging.

The gun runs on DeWALT 20V MAX batteries (DCB200, DCB203, DCB204 series), so if you already own a DeWALT cordless system you won’t need a dedicated pack. The 18 GA nail gauge and 1/4 inch staple crown keep the tool focused on light‑weight materials like pine and drywall, which aligns with its advertised application suitability.

TL;DR: The Singtip Cordless Brad Nailer packs 2‑in‑1 brad and narrow‑crown stapling, 6 depth‑control settings and 1,000 of each fastener for $65.99, earning a perfect 5‑star rating from six reviewers.

The standout feature is its true 2‑in‑1 design: it drives 5/8"‑1‑1/4" brads and 2/5"‑1" narrow‑crown staples while offering six adjustable depth‑control levels. An integrated LED light shines onto the workpiece, and a safety pin prevents accidental discharge. Right out of the box you get 1,000 brads and 1,000 staples, which reviewers say eliminates the need for an early refill.

Compared with the four other tools in this roundup, the Singtip sits at a higher price point than the ReliaRoads model, which costs $59.99 and ships with 1,600 fasteners. However, ReliaRoads lists a compact nose that fits 6" tight spaces and a patented dual‑mode magazine switch—features not mentioned for the Singtip. The Adotocam and Funnywhale units also run on DeWALT 20V MAX batteries, but they bundle larger accessory counts or ergonomic claims without specifying depth control. The Justhere nailer offers a soft‑grip handle and brushless motor, yet its fastener count matches Singtip’s while its price is considerably higher.

Six reviewers have awarded this tool a flawless 5.0‑star rating, repeatedly noting the convenience of the included fasteners and the ease of setting nail depth. Users also appreciate the LED illumination when working under cabinets or in dim corners. The only caveat mentioned is that the required DeWALT battery is sold separately, so you’ll need to own or purchase a compatible pack before you can fire the first nail.

Best for: Entry‑level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Singtip Cordless Brad Nailer offers Included Nails: 1000 brads

Avoid if: You want the best value‑per‑dollar in its price range

TL;DR: The Justhere 18‑Gauge Cordless Brad Nailer packs a brushless motor, 1,000 brad nails and 1,000 staples, and a 90‑nail magazine into a 3‑lb tool that runs on DeWalt 20V MAX batteries.

What sets this unit apart is the sheer amount of fasteners that come in the box: 1,000 18‑gauge brad nails ranging from 3/8″ to 1‑1/4″ and 1,000 narrow‑crown staples from 5/8″ to 7/8″, so you can start a trim or upholstery job right out of the package. The brushless motor promises longer runtime and less heat buildup, while the dual‑trigger safety lock and tool‑free jam release keep accidental discharges and downtime to a minimum. At just over 3 pounds, the tool feels light enough for overhead work yet solid enough for steady driving.

Compared with the other four contenders, the Justhere model sits at the higher end of the price spectrum. It is a touch heavier than the ReliaRoads nailer, which tips the scales at 2.9 lb, but lighter than the Adotocam’s 3.8 lb construction. Its 90‑nail magazine is slightly smaller than Adotocam’s 100‑nail capacity, though larger than the unspecified capacity of ReliaRoads. In terms of supplied fasteners, Justhere matches the Funnywhale and Singtip units with 1,000 nails and 1,000 staples, but falls short of ReliaRoads’ 1,600‑fastener bundle.

Users who already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries consistently praise the seamless compatibility and the convenience of going cordless without a compressor. Reviewers highlight the soft‑grip handle and modest weight as fatigue‑reducing factors during long trim runs. However, a few owners note occasional misfires when driving into denser wood and point out that the maximum brad length of 1‑1/4″ limits the tool on thicker material. In practice, the brushless motor and dual firing modes (single‑fire for precision, bump fire for speed) deliver reliable performance for most DIY projects.

Technical details reinforce its versatility: an LED indicator shifts from red (low battery) to green (fully charged) and flashes if the unit overheats, while the dual‑trigger safety requires simultaneous pressure on the trigger and contact tip. The soft‑grip handle, combined with the 3‑lb weight, makes the nailer easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and the tool‑free jam release means you can clear a blockage without reaching for extra tools.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Justhere Cordless Brad Nailer offers Magazine Capacity: 90 nails

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget, need longer nails for heavy‑duty framing, or lack a compatible DeWalt 20V MAX battery.
