Comparison to other methods

Compared to a channel letter clinching machine, the Ascent stapler is safer, can connect backs of aluminum, ACM, or polycarbonate (not limited to metal), and it is less expensive.

Compared to the channel letter SPR Self-Piercing Rivets machine, the galvanized staples used with the Ascent stapler are cheaper ($40 per 5000 staples versus $50 per 1000 rivets), and the stapler is easier to operate. The stapler itself is less expensive.

Compared to a channel-letter stitcher, the Ascent stapler is safer to operate because it prevents damage to ACM or polycarbonate. An adjustable table is included in the price, making it more convenient and cost-effective. The stapler itself is also less expensive and easier to use.
