Needs Break-in 
2006-08-22
As received the staples wouldn't feed properly. Talked to DeWalt and "They just don't have any problems with this model. Get it replaced." Gotit replaced but meanwhile the original worked better every time it was used.
The rplacemement arrived- a quick check showed the staple feed area to be extremely tight also. I sent the replacement back & kept the original.
I expect the tool will become superior with a little more break-in time - or I may just take a little sandpaper to the bar over which the staples slide. I'm using Bostich 1/2 X 2 staples. These are galvanized - another brand or non-galvanized staples might feed OK.
don't act too quickly

Wow! "I will never buy another DeWalt product" because of one bad tool is a bit much. I am a professional contractor and use DeWalt almost everyday. To be that upset about one bad tool Mr. Presnell shows how little you know about the tool world. Do you act like this about every little thing that comes along?
Excellent stapler 2005-11-24
Bought this stapler while building my house. A real timesaver. Uses comparatively little air so with most compressors, you will limit how fast you can work, not the stapler. Did not have any problems with misfeeding staples or staples not fitting the gun. Occasionally the last staple would jam, but it only happened once or twice (you automatically prevent it by feeding staples before empty).
I would recommend this stapler for both contractors and "do-it-yourselfers".
Dissatisfaction of Staple Gun 
2005-08-01
The staple gun I bought to build a house about a month ago will not accept the staples; I have to push on the plunger in order for the staple to go up to the head--I am very dissatisfied with item and I do not have time to replace before the house is finished. Will never purchase any other any Dewalt Product. I have also been using a used Bostitch and it has not misfed any staples at all. Harry Presnell-Tennessee

This was the deal of a lifetime. great value for a great tool. This was such a good deal I was suspicious at first but I have used the stapler on several houses without a flaw and I couldnt be happier. I even bought one for a friend. You cant go wrong here. It would have been nice if it came with a case but a great value as it is.

I haven't used this stapler for more than a couple of hours so far. I purchased the staples suggested by the Amazon website. No problems. Very happy with the performance and price.
Review of The DeWalt Construction stapler 2007-09-21
When I read the reviews for this product, all three said they had jamming/feeding issues. I figured for the price (compared to a Pasload) and the DeWalt name I'd give it a try anyway. It's proved to be a good preformer. I've put 1 box of staples (10,000) through it and it has preformed flawlesly. There is alot more plastic on this model than a
Pasload but it seems ok. Bottom Line so far so good and I think I made a good decision.
DeWalt D51431 Heavy-Duty 1-Inch to 2-Inch 16-Gauge 1/2-inch Medium Crown Stapler 2007-09-10
I have used this product on the last couple of jobs that I have done and it is an excellent tool. I have used a Stanley Bostitch older style and newer style many times, and in my opinion the DeWalt is much better. For about $250.00 less. I have not had one jam and that was a reoccurring problem with the Bostitch. It is lightweight and easy to handle. Great Product!
Jerry's review 
2007-09-01
First, I like DeWalt equipment, especially my workshop-table saw. But this new nailer I don't like. I only like sequential triggering - here's the problem: The gun will not fire every time you pull the trigger unless you follow a strict sequence- i.e. after firing if you release the trigger before lifting gun off the material it will not fire the next time you pull the trigger. This idiosyncrasy is very frustrating. Thinking this just can't be right, I took gun to DeWalt service center in Little Rock. They said that's the way it is. You must hold trigger down until gun is lifted off the work piece or else the head will not re-extend for next shot. DeWalt help us out here. Other nailers don't have this problem. If you like the bump trigger you won't see this problem.
