Fasten-ating Facts: Choosing Wire Fence Staples
Read MoreA "staple" in rural America, wire fencing is commonly used to keep farm animals in place. But, did you know wire fencing is used for much more than livestock? Whether you rely on a wire fence to keep your animals safe, or to mark a boundary, each strand of wire serves little purpose without the fence staples that hold it in place.

Power At Hand: The Dewalt DCFS950 Fencing Stapler
Read MoreIf there’s one job that could benefit from using a cordless tool, it’s agricultural fencing. Particularly livestock and utility fencing, which places the user out in an expansive area of land, at the mercy of the elements and without a power source. Dewalt aims to rectify those elemental issues with the MAX XR 20V DCFS950 fencing stapler.
Hand hammering staples has long been the go-to fastening method for wire fencing, however it’s inefficient, hard on the body, and it scores a major thumbs down when you miss and hit a digit. Hauling compressors and air hoses for pneumatic staplers is a literal drag.

MAX Raises the 'Bar' with the PowerLite System
Read MoreImagine considerably cutting down on tool weight, yet gaining a ton of power. No need to imagine, as that's precisely what the MAX USA Corp. PowerLite System offers. The first of its kind, the PowerLite system features ultra-lightweight pro-grade tools, powered by high-pressure air compressors. No batteries, no powder. Just big, big power.
What is the PowerLite System?
PowerLite tools rely on 500 PSI air compressors, as opposed to the standard 100 PSI load. The idea is that by forcing more air into the tool, you can both increase power and decrease tool size. MAX states that PowerLite tools are 40% lighter and 20% smaller than comparable tools. That makes for a marked difference, particularly when you’re working for any length of time.
