FAQs

What kind of staples does this tool use?

This tool uses standard heavy-duty hammer tacker staples. Always check the packaging for specific crown width compatibility.

Are staples included in the box?

No, staples must be purchased separately.

Can I use this for light upholstery work?

Yes, its ergonomic and lightweight design makes it suitable for upholstery, provided the frame material is compatible with standard staples.

How do I clear a staple jam?

Unlock the rear magazine, remove the staple strip, and clear any bent or loose staples from the channel.

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty roofing?

Yes, the hardened construction is built to withstand the demands of professional roofing applications.

Troubleshooting

Staples jamming inside the magazine

Check that you are using the correct staple size and ensure the magazine is fully closed and locked.

Staples not driving flush

Ensure you are using a sharp, perpendicular striking motion rather than an angled swipe.

Inspect the rear latch for trapped debris or wood shavings and clear the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Xtrade Hammer Tacker, slide the rear latch to unlock the magazine, insert your compatible staples, and push the magazine closed until it clicks into the locked position.
