DeWalt Power Tools 18G Galvanised Staples - DCN681

A narrow crown staple has a larger surface area which provides superior holding power and resists 'shoot-through' into the material, resulting in a cleaner and more secure fastening.

Yes, the galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh or continuously wet environments, additional protection might be considered.

These staples are specifically compatible with DeWalt DCN681 and DCN682 models, and other brands of SX staplers. Always check your stapler's manual for compatibility regarding crown width and gauge.

'18G' refers to the gauge of the wire used to make the staple. An 18-gauge staple is relatively fine, suitable for applications where a small, less visible fastener is desired.

Ensure the staple leg length is appropriate for the thickness of the material being fastened, and that the stapler is set to drive the staple fully without damaging the material surface.

Staples are consumable items and are not refillable. They are supplied in strips ready to be loaded into a compatible stapler.

Check if the magazine is loaded properly and free of obstructions. Ensure the correct staple size is being used. Clean the stapler's feed mechanism.

Verify the stapler's depth adjustment is set correctly. Check the air pressure if using a pneumatic stapler, or battery charge if cordless. Ensure the staple leg length is appropriate for the material.

This may indicate an incompatibility issue or a worn stapler magazine. Try a different brand or batch of staples to rule out manufacturing defects. Clean and inspect the stapler.

Inspect staples before loading. If significant damage is noted, these staples might be unsuitable for highly corrosive environments. Contact the supplier if the issue is widespread.
