Frequently asked questions

• Which staples fit my tool?

  The tool's series decides. Every product page states the series and length range the tool accepts and lists the staples in the catalogue that fit it; the staple pages state the reverse. If the series is wrong the staple will not load, even at the right length.

• What is the difference between the 71, 90 and 92 series?

  Wire thickness and crown width. The 71 series is fine wire: it holds in upholstery, interlining and light timber work without marking. The 90 and 92 series are medium wire; they hold harder in a thicker wire and leave a bigger mark. The three do not substitute for each other — a tool takes one series.

• How do I choose staple length?

  The staple has to pass through the top piece and enter the one below far enough — in practice two to three times the wire diameter of embedment. Too short and it does not hold; too long and it comes through the back or bends. Each tool page states the range it accepts.

• Brad nails (SK) or headless pins?

  The head. An SK brad has a small head and holds better. S125 and S717 pins are fully headless: the mark is almost invisible, but they hold less. Pins where the surface shows and the mark must not, brads where holding power comes first.

• Coil nails (BDC) or strip nails?

  How they feed. Strip nails are glued side by side and load as a strip; coil nails are wound on a drum and carry far more. On production runs a coil nailer cuts reloading substantially.

• How does a gas concrete nailer work?

  The CN tool runs on a gas cartridge and a battery rather than a compressor. The gas is ignited and drives a piston that fires the nail into concrete. It is used where no hose can be dragged — electrical first fix, drywall track, cable tray. Replacement gas cartridges are in the catalogue.

• What are corrugated fasteners for?

  A corrugated steel piece driven across a timber joint, pulling the two pieces together as it goes in. In furniture and pallet making it is the fastest way to hold a corner joint. W and WM are two length bands.

• What compressor does a pneumatic tool need?

  Working pressure on these tools is usually 5-8 bar. What matters is not the compressor's peak but whether it holds that range at working pace; if the air flow falls short the tool leaves fasteners proud. Each tool page states its working pressure.

• Manual or pneumatic?

  A manual tool works on spring force: no hose, no compressor, light, and practical for occasional work. A pneumatic tool delivers the same energy every shot, does not tire, and is incomparably faster on production work. Both are in the catalogue.

• The tool is not driving fasteners flush — why?

  Check three things in order: whether the air pressure and flow are sufficient, whether the fastener series and length suit the tool, and whether the depth setting is right. Proud fasteners usually come from low pressure or from the wrong consumable.

• Do you supply a length or type that is not listed?

  Yes. The BEA range is wider than the 150 rows on this page. If the series, length or tool you need is not listed, request it by catalogue code or description through the contact page.

• How do I get wholesale or dealer pricing?

  Seza Global supplies these wholesale. Send the series, lengths, quantities and delivery location through the contact page and we will price the project; for regular purchasing you can open a dealer application.
