Stapler

[carlos]

The time has come to get a stapler. I have bit of a run of board work. Never had 1 before and wondered what every one used.

Are these any good https://m.screwfix.com/p/stanley-heavy-duty-staple-gun/62930 ?

10s get sharpshooter ones though I hate all the others!! The others tend to pop out because they have a sharpened tip whereas the sharpshooters are bunt but hold well..

eBay really cheap for them [emoji106]

just get hook on beads...........................

I'd go with arrow it has teeth marks that's the width of a staple so when your teeth sink through the serrated bead you know it will fire correctly. I've got a Stanley stapler no help wat so ever no power to go through bead or no teeth/ guides. To help fire through bead

 

[beddy]

Why do you need to go through the bead?

Yep thats the one, defo good quality.

 

[Ashley milson]

Why do you need to go through the bead?

It doesn't have a guides so you can't line it up. So if your firing blind. At least have power to penetrate through it. As you might as well use clout nails as you don't save any time with the stapler

 

[beddy]

I find you get used to how it works and dont really need to see

 

[kgreigh]

Yea the Stanley one I line the centre line up to a couple of different points of the bead depending on where I want to staple it.

 

[Ashley milson]

I like the arrow as I don't have to look. so if I'm going the top or bottom of bead where I can't see or can't be assed to look. I just rub a round n when the teeth sit in the hole of the bead I just simply staple.

 

[carlos]

Used the yellow Stanley 1 today with 10mm sharpshooter staples.

Works a treat, bangs through the bead if you don't get it quite right.

Thanks again for the advise.
