Staple Guns
- Also called manual power staplers, this tool shoots a variety of staples (and many times brad nails) with a one-hand lever operation.
- Good for a variety of jobs requiring material to be held with one hand and fastened with the other, such as lining closets, installing insulation, tacking ceiling tile or fastening roofing paper.
- One newer design features a handle that is squeezed toward the front instead of the rear, making it easier to use and control.
- Other models are designed to fasten a variety of materials, such as different types of wire, including telephone wire, heavy-duty wire and insulated wire, etc.
- Electric and cordless staple guns are also available. They have the same uses as the hand-operated guns but the staples are ejected automatically with the pull of a trigger.
Staplers Safety Tips:
- When using a staple gun, make sure you are using the right size staples for the material you are stapling. Also, be sure to double check which portion the staples eject from before using. The correct end should be properly marked on the tool.
- When using a hammer tacker or any other stapler, make sure the spring clip is securely fastened to avoid it shooting out of the back of the tool in use.
- Never shoot staples into the air; always shoot staples into a work piece.
- Always wear safety glasses.
- Be sure to keep any staple gun clean to avoid the staples getting clogged. Periodically take a pipe cleaner and thoroughly clean the track where the spring holder is located
