Tacwise 140 Series Galvanised Staples - 8mm

The '140 Series' refers to a specific size and type of staple, often denoted by crown width and wire thickness. Tacwise 140 series staples are flat wire staples commonly used in upholstery and other light to medium-duty applications.

The galvanised coating offers good corrosion resistance, making them more suitable for outdoor or potentially humid environments than ungalvanised staples. However, for long-term outdoor exposure, dedicated exterior-grade staples might be more appropriate.

While compatible with many popular brands that accept 140/9 staples, they are specifically designed for Tacwise tools like the Z1-140, Z3-140, A11, and Hobby 140EL. Always check your stapler's manual to confirm compatibility.

Flat wire staples, like the 140 series, offer a wider surface area for holding material, providing a stronger grip. Round wire staples are typically used for softer materials or where a less visible fastening is desired.

Store the staples in a cool, dry place away from moisture to preserve the galvanised coating and prevent premature corrosion.

The 8mm leg length is ideal for upholstery work (attaching fabric to frames), securing thin materials, DIY crafts, temporary fixing, and light repairs on wood or composite materials.

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of staple for your tool. Check for any bent staples or debris in the staple channel and clear it. Ensure staples are loaded correctly.

Verify the staple is compatible with your tool's power settings (if applicable, e.g., electric models). Ensure the material is within the intended use range for 8mm staples. For pneumatic tools, check air pressure.

Staples should be stored in a dry place. If rust is present, it may affect performance and appearance. Consider replacing rusted staples. Ensure the tool is also kept clean and dry.
