FAQs
What type of staple gun is compatible with these staples?
These staples are compatible with staple guns designed for 18-gauge, 32mm length, and 5.7mm crown width staples. Always check your staple gun's specifications.
Are these staples suitable for outdoor use?
While the staples are designed for heavy-duty use, prolonged exposure to moisture may cause corrosion. For outdoor applications, consider using galvanized or stainless steel staples if rust is a concern.
What is the crown size and why is it important?
The crown size is 5.7mm. This is the width of the staple's top bar. A wider crown distributes holding power over a larger surface area, preventing pull-through on softer materials.
How many staples are in this pack?
This pack contains 5000 staples.
What is the net weight of this pack?
The net weight of the 5000-staple pack is 2.61kg.
Can I use these for upholstery?
Yes, these staples can be used for upholstery, especially for securing fabric to thicker frames or cushions where a strong hold is needed.
Where should I store these staples?
Staples should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, to prevent rust and maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Staples not driving fully
Check staple gun's power setting or air pressure. Ensure staples are correctly loaded and compatible with the gun.
Staple jams in the gun
Clear any jammed staples following your staple gun's manual. Ensure staples are seated correctly in the magazine and are not bent or damaged.
Inconsistent fastening depth
Verify that the staple gun is set to the correct depth adjustment. Ensure the material being fastened is consistent in density.
Staples bending or breaking
Confirm the staple gun is designed for 18-gauge staples. Check for obstructions in the staple path or if the material is too hard for the staple size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These staples are designed for use with pneumatic or electric staple guns that accept 18-gauge staples with a 32mm length and a 5.7mm crown width.
