FAQs
What type of tacker are these staples for?
These staples are specifically designed for Rapesco 13 series tackers and other tools compatible with 13/8mm staples.
How many staples are in a box?
Each box contains 5,000 staples.
What does 'galvanised finish' mean?
A galvanized finish means the staples are coated with a layer of zinc, which provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, making them more durable.
Can I use these staples with any tacker?
No, these staples are sized for 13 series tackers. Using them in incompatible tackers can cause damage or poor performance. Always check your tacker's specifications.
Are these staples suitable for outdoor use?
The galvanized finish offers good corrosion resistance, making them more suitable for certain outdoor applications than ungalvanized staples. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may still cause wear over time.
What is the size of the staples?
The staples are 13/8mm in size, referring to their crown width and leg length.
Troubleshooting
Staples not feeding correctly
Ensure the staples are the correct size (13/8mm) and are loaded properly into the tacker's magazine. Check for any bent staples or debris in the magazine.
Staples jamming the tacker
Remove any jammed staples carefully. Ensure you are using the correct type and size of staple for your specific tacker model. Overfilling the magazine can sometimes cause jams.
Staples not penetrating the material
Check that the tacker's power setting (if adjustable) is appropriate for the material. Ensure the staple is fully seated and the tacker is held firmly against the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These staples are specifically designed for use with Rapesco 13 series tackers and other stapling tools that are compatible with 13/8mm staples. Always check your tacker's manual to confirm compatibility before loading.
Loading:
- Open the tacker by pressing the release mechanism (refer to your tacker's manual).
- Insert a strip of Rapesco 13/8mm staples into the staple magazine, ensuring they are seated correctly.
- Close the tacker firmly until it clicks into place.
Care:
Store staples in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the galvanized finish. Keep the magazine of your tacker clean and free from debris to ensure smooth staple feeding. No specific care is required for the staples themselves beyond proper storage.
