FAQs

What is the main advantage of a narrow crown staple?

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.

Are these staples suitable for outdoor use?

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.

Can I use these staples with any brand of stapler?

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.

What does '18G' refer to?

'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.

How do I ensure the best holding power?

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.

Are these staples refillable?

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

Troubleshooting

Staples not feeding correctly

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.

Staples not fully driving into material

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.

Staples bending or jamming

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.

Galvanised coating appears damaged

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced holding power due to dual legs.
  • Reduced risk of material damage with the narrow crown design.
  • Corrosion resistance from galvanisation for longevity.
  • Broad compatibility with popular stapler models.
  • Suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible narrow crown stapler.
  • May not be suitable for extremely delicate materials where minimal surface marking is critical.
  • Galvanisation can wear over time in harsh environments.
  • Specific crown width and leg length must match project requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, always confirm that your stapler is loaded with the correct gauge (18G) and type of narrow crown staple. Verify that your DeWalt DCN681, DCN682, or compatible SX stapler model is designed to accept the specified crown width and leg length.

Compatibility Check:

  1. Refer to your stapler's manual for recommended staple specifications.
  2. Ensure the staple crown width matches the opening in your stapler's magazine.
  3. Confirm the staple leg length is appropriate for the material thickness you are fastening.

Care:

  • Store staples in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the galvanised coating.
  • Keep your stapler's magazine clean and free of debris to ensure smooth feeding of staples.
  • Regularly check your stapler for any wear or damage that might affect its performance with these staples.
