Full details
The Magnusson 12mm Heavy Duty Staples are designed for contractors, tradespeople, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable fastening solution for building projects.

Troubleshooting
Staples jamming inside the magazine
Clear the jam using pliers, then ensure the magazine spring is applying consistent pressure to the staple strip.
Staples not sinking flush into the material
Adjust the drive depth on your staple gun if equipped, or ensure you are applying adequate downward pressure during the firing cycle.
Staples deforming upon entry
Verify that your substrate is not too dense or hard (such as masonry or extremely cured hardwoods) for the stapler's power capacity.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these staples effectively, ensure your stapler is compatible with heavy-duty wide-crown staples of a 12mm length. Always verify the stapler's magazine settings before inserting a new strip. When loading, ensure the staples are pushed firmly to the front of the magazine to avoid jamming. For maintenance, keep the staple gun mechanism free of dust and debris, as trapped particles can cause misfires. Store the staples in a cool, dry place to prevent surface oxidation, which could otherwise weaken the bond or cause the staples to jam within the staple gun rail.
