A specialist cable-running tool, not a general crown stapler. Makes sense if cable stapling is the actual job and batteries are already on hand from other DEWALT 20V MAX tools.

Overview
The DEWALT DCN701B is a 20V MAX cordless cable stapler sold tool only, built to secure electrical and low-voltage cable to studs and joists rather than to drive general-purpose crown staples into wood or fabric.
This is a different job than the other staplers in this lineup. Cable staplers are shaped and sized to straddle a wire and drive a staple over it without crushing the jacket, which a standard crown stapler is not built to do. Tool only means no battery, charger or case is included.
- 20V MAX cordless platform
- Purpose-built cable stapler
- Tool only (DCN701B)
- 4.7 rating
Who it's for
Fits an electrician or low-voltage installer running cable through studs who wants a cordless option instead of a hammer-driven cable stapler. Not a substitute for a trim or upholstery crown stapler.
Pros and cons
- Cordless alternative to hammer-driven cable staplers
- Runs on the shared 20V MAX battery platform
- Tool only, battery and charger sold separately
- Not usable as a general trim or upholstery crown stapler
Performance notes
Cable staplers are designed to sit over a wire and drive a staple around it without pinching the jacket, a narrower job than driving crown staples into wood or fabric. Being cordless removes the hammer-and-staple or pneumatic step that cable stapling traditionally requires.
