Which series should I buy?

The series your gun accepts — 71, 80 or 140. The series is defined by crown width and wire thickness and is marked on the tool. A different series causes jams.

When are galvanised staples needed?

In damp conditions and outdoors, where the coating resists corrosion. For interior upholstery work standard staples are enough.

Why does my gun keep jamming?

Usually the wrong series or length, deformed staples left in the magazine, or a dirty channel. Emptying and cleaning the magazine clears most jams.

Staples & Nails

Staples and nails are the consumable of a fastening gun, and series compatibility is not optional: each gun takes only the series and length range it was built for. The catalogue holds 100 products.

Series and lengths

Staples are grouped by crown width and wire thickness. The series a gun accepts is marked on the tool and in its manual; a different series may fit the magazine but will not drive properly and causes jams.

Series	Description	Use
71 series	Fine wire, narrow crown	Upholstery, fabric, thin timber
80 series	Medium wire	General timber work
140 series	Heavy wire, wide crown	Sheathing, insulation, roof decking
Headless pin	Fine pin, no head	Trim with no visible mark
Headed nail	Wide head	Formwork, pallets, structural fixing

Choosing length

Choose a staple or nail about three times the thickness of the material being fixed: the remainder enters the base material and provides the hold. Too long and it comes through the far side; too short and it will not hold.
