Are these staples suitable for heavy-duty construction?

Troubleshooting
Staples not feeding correctly
Check if the staple magazine is loaded properly and that the staples are not bent or damaged. Ensure the staple gun is compatible and functioning correctly.
Staples jamming in the gun
Clean the staple gun's internal mechanism. Ensure you are using the correct size and type of staple for your specific model. Remove any obstruction.
Staples not penetrating material adequately
Verify the staple gun's power setting (if adjustable) or ensure the gun's spring mechanism is in good condition. The material may be too hard for the staple size.
