Unless you are looking for a particular model of staple that specifically matches a tool, you might be a bit lost in all the fasteners we offer. Don't panic, ManoMano will explain everything to you!
First distinctions:
When making your purchases, it is important not to confuse staples and nails. Nothing too complicated so far: staplers and hammer tackers use staples, nailers use nails, and staple-nailers use both. A nailer or a staple-nailer uses nails, sometimes also called "brads". These have no head (or a very small one) to allow for discreet and neat finishing.
Uses of different fasteners:
Made of steel, brads or nails are perfect for carpentry work, wood assembling, and moulding installation.
With a flat wire staple, you play the durability card! Flat wire staples prevent materials from tearing and are ideal for installing insulation films, tarps, or any non-fibrous material.
For fabric installation, however, a fine wire staple will be your best friend! Discreet, it is also perfectly suited for display and labeling work.
The cable staple is a staple with a rounded crown (the upper part of the staple that joins the two legs). It is specially designed for low voltage electrical wire fixing. Often made of galvanized steel (zinc-treated), it can penetrate soft materials like wood or drywall.
The narrow crown staple, often made of thick wire, is made of very strong steel and is used with pneumatic or electric staplers. Narrow crown staples, also called "double points", can staple parquet, partitions, and battens.
Things to know:
Nails or brads for staple nailers or nailers are not complicated to choose: you simply need to use nails suitable for these kinds of tools that are not too long nor too small to avoid jamming your machine.
When it comes to staples, it gets more complicated. The nomenclature of staples varies significantly from one brand to another, and unfortunately, there is no standard norm for indicating dimensions. The important thing is to choose staples whose shape, width (i.e., the length of the crown), and height (i.e., the length of the legs) match your stapler model. The staples suitable for your machine are indicated in the user manual and sometimes even on your machine.
