Product FAQs
Q:What size staples should I use for insulation and breathable membrane?
A:Choose a staple long enough to pass through the material and bite securely into the timber behind it. Test a few fixings on an offcut before starting the main job.
Q:Why does my staple gun keep jamming?
A:Check that the staple size suits the tool, the strip is straight and the magazine is clean. Bent staples, overfilling and debris can all contribute to jams.
Q:Why won’t my staple gun go through wood?
A:Dense hardwoods can resist a hand-driven staple. Press the nose flat and firmly against the surface and squeeze steadily. If staples remain proud, a powered stapler or nail may suit the material better.
Q:Do staples hold better than brad nails?
A:Staples provide a wider fixing and suit jobs where holding power matters. Brads leave a smaller visible hole and are better where a neater finish is preferred.
Q:Do you need safety glasses when using a staple gun?
A:Yes. Wear safety glasses when firing the tool, keep fingers clear of the nose and never point the tacker towards another person.
Q:Is a manual or electric staple gun better?
A:A manual tacker suits quick repairs and portable jobs without a battery or cable. Powered models can be more suitable for long runs of repetitive fastening.
Q:Can I use a staple gun for chicken wire?
A:Yes, when fixing wire netting to suitable timber. Keep the mesh controlled, use suitable galvanised staples for outdoor work and wear gloves because cut wire ends can be sharp.
Q:Can I use a regular staple gun to secure electrical wires?
A:No. Standard staples can damage cable insulation or conductors. Use clips or staples specifically designed for electrical cable.
