Draper Air Stapler/Nailer

Two Tools in One for Trim, Joinery, and General Workshop Use

The Draper DAT-ACK1550 is a versatile dual-function air stapler and nailer designed for tradespeople, joiners, upholsterers, and DIY enthusiasts who want one tool that can handle both staples and brad nails. With a quality cast aluminium housing, ergonomic soft grip handle, and integrated safety features, it brings together reliable performance, user comfort, and considered safety in a single compact package.

Quality Cast Aluminium Construction

The tool is housed in a cast aluminium body designed to balance strength with manageable weight. At just 1.45kg, the DAT-ACK1550 is light enough to use comfortably for extended periods — whether you're working overhead on ceiling trim, along a long run of skirting, or fixing upholstery onto a frame. The soft grip handle adds further comfort and helps to reduce fatigue during prolonged use.

Dual Stapler and Nailer Function

The DAT-ACK1550 is built to drive both brad nails and staples, giving you the flexibility of two tools in one:

• Nails: 10–50mm length, 2mm head, 18 gauge
• Staples: 12–40mm length, 5.7mm crown, 18 gauge
• Shank size: 1.25mm width, 1.05mm thickness

This range covers a broad spread of typical second-fix and finishing tasks — from light trim and beading through to deeper fixings into thicker timber, plus upholstery and fabric stapling work.

Built-In Safety Features

The DAT-ACK1550 is fitted with a safety bump mechanism that helps prevent accidental firing — a practical feature when working at pace or carrying the tool between fixings. A safety latch mechanism adds a further layer of protection, so the tool only fires when you mean it to. Together, these features help reduce the risk of misfires and the kind of accidents that can happen with less considered air tools.

Smooth-Loading Nail Holder

The integrated nail holder is designed for quick, smooth loading of staples and brads, helping to keep workflow moving when you're working through a long run of fixings. Combined with the light cast aluminium body and ergonomic grip, it makes for a tool that feels considered in the hand throughout a working day.

Efficient Air Consumption

With an average air consumption of just 0.28cfm (0.8L/min) and an operating pressure of 75–100psi, the DAT-ACK1550 is undemanding on the compressor — even modest compressors will keep up with sustained use. A 1/4" BSP air inlet makes for straightforward connection to standard workshop airline setups, with a minimum recommended hose size of 3/8" (10mm).

Stored in a Heavy-Duty Carry Case

The stapler/nailer is supplied in a robust heavy-duty storage case, keeping the tool protected between uses and easy to transport between jobs, vehicles, or workshops. A worthwhile detail for tradespeople who move kit around regularly.

Ideal Applications

The Draper DAT-ACK1550 is a strong fit for a wide range of finishing and fixing tasks, including skirting boards, architraves, beading, and trim work, panelling and cladding, picture framing and craft projects, light cabinet and joinery assembly, upholstery and fabric stapling on furniture frames, and general workshop fixings into timber and similar materials.
