Staple Guns
Staple guns are specially designed for the purpose of fastening
low-voltage wires. Other guns are used mainly for fastening wires and
cables. Some guns shoot flared staples without an external anvil, to
staple insulation around pipes and ducts.
Staple guns are useful for jobs such as attaching new window-shade
material to an old spring roller, recovering furniture, installing new
webbing on chairs, making a garden trellis, attaching weather-stripping
and tacking chicken wire to a fence stake.
A staple gun can be fitted with a variety of staple sizes and
attachments for specialized applications. Electric staple guns are also
available. They have the same uses as the hand-operated guns but the
staples are ejected electrically with the pull of a trigger. These will
accommodate a variety of staple sizes and take the work out of long
stapling projects. Some guns are built with a flush front and extended
nose for accurate staple placement into hard-to-reach.
