The Makita 1/4" Narrow Crown Stapler (model AT638) combines ease-of-use and performance in a compact size. The AT638 has a top-loading magazine that accepts 18 ga. staples size 5/8" to 1-1/2". The staple reload indicator window alerts the user when to reload nails, and the contact arm and trigger are used together for controlled firing. The AT638 has a compact size and weighs only 3.2 lbs. for all-day use. Additional convenience features include a hook that allows the tool to remain close-by but never in the way, and a multi-directional exhaust port that directs exhaust air away from the user.
