Staples, Nails and Rivets: staples, nails, rivets and glue sticks

Each stapler and nailer takes a specific staple or nail type marked on the tool.

Staple and nail length should be 2-3 times the thickness of the material being fixed.

For outdoor and damp areas choose galvanised or stainless staples and nails.

Rivet diameter and length are chosen by the total thickness of the sheets. Read how to choose an electric tacker or nailer: fastener type, length, and firing rate.

Never point a stapler or nailer at people and disconnect it when loading. Read essential power tool safety rules.

Keep staples and nails packed and dry so they do not rust or come apart.
