Staples for tackers - Page 2

Stanley Type A (53) Staples, 12 mm, 1000 Pieces, 1-TRA208T Stanley 1-TRA208T are hand tacker staples on the Type A system (also known as 53), with a 12 mm leg. The pack holds 1000 pieces and they are galvanised against corrosion. Type A / 53 - what it means Type A is Stanley's designation for the narrow-crown, fine-wire staple - the same one the European numbering calls type 53. Both names describe one profile, so staples marked 53 work in a Type A tacker and the other way round. They are not interchangeable with type G (wide crown) or type J (brads). 12 mm - for which material Leg length decides how far the staple goes in. At 12 mm, about 10 mm remains in the timber once the material is passed - enough for upholstery fabric, vapour membrane, wallpaper, insect mesh, thin ply and card. Thicker materials want 14 mm; thin ones 6 or 8 mm, so the point does not come through the far side. Light duty Type A is the light class: fine wire, little resistance, easy to drive with a hand tacker. Which is exactly why it is not for fixing battens, boards or cladding - structural fixing calls for heavy-class staples (type G) or brads. Galvanising The staples are galvanised. That matters anywhere damp is involved - on vapour membrane, breather membrane and outdoor work, plain steel leaves rust marks in the material within the first week. Why a staple does not seat fully The commonest trouble with a hand tacker is not the staples but the pressure. The tacker has to be pressed firmly against the material at the moment of firing - lift it by a millimetre and the blow is lost, leaving the staple proud. The second factor is the hardness of the substrate: in dry oak or hardwood ply a 12 mm light-class staple often will not seat however well it is driven. The answer there is not more force but a shorter staple or a heavy-class tacker. The pack 1000 pieces in a rigid plastic box with a sliding lid. The box is a practical reason to prefer it over a bag: the staples stay in sticks rather than scattering, and a stick lifts out whole and goes straight into the tacker's magazine.

Type A - the same profile the European numbering calls type 53. The two designations mean one thing. How long are they? 12 mm leg - suited to upholstery fabric, vapour membrane, wallpaper, insect mesh and thin ply. How many in the pack? 1000, in a rigid plastic box with a sliding lid - the staples stay in sticks rather than scattering. Will they fit my tacker? If the tacker takes Type A or type 53, yes. They will not fit tackers using type G (wide crown) or type J (brads). Can I fix cladding with them? No. Type A is the light class with fine wire. Structural fixing calls for heavy-class staples or brads. Do they rust? No - they are galvanised. Plain steel leaves rust marks in the material within the first week where damp is involved. Which length should I choose? 12 mm for the usual materials; 14 mm for thicker ones; 6-8 mm for thin material, so the point does not come through. ..

Stanley 1-TRA709-5T Staples, Type G, 14 mm Stanley 1-TRA709-5T are staples for hand tackers of type G (heavy duty) with a 14 mm leg length. The manufacturer lists the article as 14mm Heavy-Duty Staples (5000 Pk) - a box of 5,000 staples in a plastic casing. The staples are galvanised with a zinc-aluminium coating for corrosion resistance. Type G - heavy duty Type G is Stanley's designation for staples made from thicker gauge wire. According to the manufacturer this provides good holding power in thin woods, wire netting, insulation and sheet materials. The crown width is 11.4 mm. Colour-coded packaging Stanley uses colour-coded packaging so that the matching STANLEY tackers can be identified at a glance. The type is printed on the box in a green panel with the letter G, and the article number 1-TRA709-5T appears along its lower edge. Applications Type G 14 mm staples are used for fixing wire netting, laying insulation, upholstery and backing thin boards, and other work where holding power matters more than how discreet the staple is. The longer 14 mm leg penetrates deeper into the substrate than the shorter sizes of the same type. Difference from 1-TRA709T Stanley offers the same staple under article 1-TRA709T as well - that is a box of 1,000 pieces. The staple itself is identical (type G, 14 mm); only the quantity in the box differs. The -5T suffix denotes the 5,000-piece box.
