Makita DST630Z 18V LXT Brushless 1-1/2″ 18GA Narrow Crown Stapler – Tool Only

The Makita DST630Z 18V LXT Brushless 1-1/2″ 18GA Narrow Crown Stapler is built for pros who want cordless convenience with performance that feels close to a pneumatic stapler. Using Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery platform (sold separately), this stapler drives 18-gauge narrow crown staples from 3/8″ to 1-1/2″ into materials including hardwoods and LVL. A brushless motor and pneumatic spring mechanism deliver fast, consistent driving with lighter recoil, giving the tool a familiar feel for anyone used to air-powered staplers.

With a magazine capacity of up to 110 staples and a firing rate up to 6.2 shots per second (with a BL1850B battery), the DST630Z is ready for production work in trim, cabinetry, and interior finishing. A 2-mode selector lets you switch between sequential fire for precise placement and bump fire for speed. The slim nose and easy-to-aim ejection section improve visibility at the fastening point, while tool-less depth adjustment makes it simple to dial in the right finish on different materials. Makita has also focused on ergonomics, balancing the tool so the center of gravity remains comfortable with any compatible battery, reducing arm strain and making all-day use more manageable.
