I’ve used u watt master unpowered one for years and the clien tools for a while as well and the Milwaukee gun has been a game changer!

I think a generic depth adjustment could be ok, but not a categorical/qualitative one. RG6 "setting" on hardwood vs pine will give completely different results. It'd have to be more similar to a standard nailer and you give it a test with some scrap before starting a run. Once you get a feel for it you may know that RG6 on hardwood is "3" but on pine it's "1".

This tool is rubbish, it really is just a stapler and not a very good one. The Dewalt isn't much better but is more powerful. The Dewalt seems to have never ending battery life on their stapler and has No problem at all driving same depth into Hardwood. But apart from that, they both are very low grade oversize junk. We did have some English made battery wire tackers from some years ago that fired different sized plastic shrouded wire staples that worked really well but the batteries weren't great. All you would have had to do was adapt a Dewalt battery to them and they would have been the Ducks Nuts. But these two don't even come close except as I said earlier the Dewalt Battery Life and More Guts than the Milwaukee. I guess I am still waiting for someone to actually make one that was designed by a user.
