Hex Keys
Folding sets keep every size in one handle. L-key sets with ball ends reach screws at an angle, and color coding speeds up size picks. T-handle ratcheting sets add leverage. Shop SAE, metric, and Torx sets in hex keys.
Nut Drivers
Hollow shaft drivers fit over long bolts and threaded rod. Magnetic tips hold the nut. Impact-rated SHOCKWAVE nut drivers and threaded rod nut runners go in an impact driver. Shop nut drivers.
Staple Guns and Staplers
Choose manual staple guns for insulation and fabric, cordless cable staplers for electrical rough-in, crown staplers for trim and cabinet backs, and M18 FUEL or 20V MAX fencing staplers for wire fence. Shop staple guns and matching staples.
Caulk and Adhesive Guns
Cordless M12 and M18 guns run 10 oz cartridges at a steady bead. Conversion kits switch them to 20 oz sausage packs or quart tubes. Manual guns and glue dispensers are here too. Shop glue and caulk applicators.
Pocket Hole Joinery
Kreg jigs and machines drill angled holes for strong screw joints in face frames and boxes. Options run from the K5 jig to the corded Foreman machine and the cordless Rebel joiner, plus clamps and screw kits. Shop pocket hole joinery.

Fastening FAQ
Do I need a special stapler for electrical cable?
Yes. Cable staplers such as the Milwaukee M12 and DeWALT 20V MAX models drive insulated staples sized to hold NM cable without crushing it. A standard staple gun can damage the jacket. Buy matching cable staples with the tool.
Are pocket screws strong enough for cabinets?
Pocket hole joints are widely used for face frames, carcasses, and furniture aprons. Add glue for a permanent joint. Use the screw length and thread type the jig maker specifies for your material thickness.
Can one caulk gun handle cartridges and sausage packs?
With Milwaukee cordless guns, yes. Start with a 10 oz gun and add a 20 oz sausage or quart conversion kit later. Check the kit is listed for your M12 or M18 gun.
