FAQs
Can I use these in any stapler?
These staples are specifically designed for compatibility with certain models, including Black & Decker units. Check your stapler's manual for specific fastener requirements.
Are these staples rust-proof?
They feature a galvanized coating which is highly rust-resistant, making them suitable for most indoor and light outdoor applications.
What is the benefit of flatwire over round wire?
Flatwire provides a larger surface area for holding materials, which reduces the chance of the staple tearing through soft or thin materials.
How many staples come in the pack?
This pack contains 896 individual staples.
What is the leg length of this specific staple?
The leg length is exactly 10 mm (1 cm).
Are these suitable for heavy-duty construction?
No, these are intended for fixing, upholstery, and light-duty applications rather than heavy-duty structural construction.
Troubleshooting
Staples jamming in the magazine
Ensure the stapler magazine is not overfilled and that you are using the correct staple type for your device.
Staples are not driving flush into the material
Adjust the tension setting on your stapler or check that the material is not too dense for a 10 mm staple.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your stapler is compatible with the Rapid No. 970 series or the specific flatwire requirements of your tool. To install, open the staple magazine of your stapler, align the staple strip with the feed track, and snap the cover shut until it clicks. Store these staples in a cool, dry place; while they are galvanized and rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity can eventually degrade the finish. Always ensure you are using the correct staple length for the thickness of your material to prevent jamming or staple buckling.
