FAQs
What staple gun are these T50 staples designed for?
These T50 staples are specifically designed for the Arrow T50 staple gun.
What does the 12mm size refer to?
The 12mm (approximately 1/2 inch) refers to the length of the staple's legs, which determines how deep it penetrates the material.
How many staples are in one pack?
Each pack contains 1250 staples.
Can I use these staples with other brands of staple guns?
While some staple guns might accept similar dimensions, performance and reliability are best ensured when used with the Arrow T50 staple gun as intended.
Are these staples suitable for outdoor use?
The metal construction offers decent durability, but they are not specifically coated for extreme outdoor weather resistance. For prolonged outdoor exposure, consider potential corrosion over time.
What types of materials can these staples fasten effectively?
They are effective for fastening wood, upholstery fabric, insulation, thin plastics, and other common project materials.
How should I store the staples?
Store the staples in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent rust and corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Staples not feeding properly
Ensure the staples are correctly seated in the magazine and that the magazine is properly closed. Check for any debris or bent staples obstructing the feed path.
Staples jamming in the gun
Remove the jammed staple carefully. Inspect the staple gun's firing channel and magazine for any damage or obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct size and type of staple.
Staples not fully driving into material
Verify that the staple gun has sufficient power and that the material being stapled is not too dense for the staple length. Check if the staple gun requires maintenance or adjustment.
Staples bending upon impact
This can occur with very hard materials. Ensure the staple gun is aligned properly with the surface. If the material is exceptionally hard, a longer or heavier gauge staple might be needed (ensure compatibility).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To load the T50 staples, open the staple magazine of your Arrow T50 staple gun, place a strip of 12mm T50 staples inside, ensuring they are seated correctly against the magazine base, and then close the magazine until it latches. Always ensure the staple gun is unloaded before loading or performing maintenance.
Compatibility: These staples are specifically designed for use with the Arrow T50 staple gun. While other staple guns might accept similar-sized staples, optimal performance and jam-free operation are best guaranteed with the designated Arrow T50 model.
Care: Store staples in a dry place to prevent corrosion. After use, clean any dust or debris from the staple gun magazine to ensure smooth feeding. If staples become bent or jammed, carefully remove them and inspect the magazine for any obstructions.
