Staples & Fuel Cells

Staples and fuel cells are the consumables that feed powered staplers and fastening tools on utility and construction sites. Heavy-gauge galvanized staples fasten cable, conduit, and hardware to wood poles and timber; galvanizing resists the corrosion that outdoor service brings, and a heavier gauge holds where a lighter fastener would pull through. Staple length is chosen for what is being fastened and how deep the crown has to seat, so a range of lengths in the same gauge covers most of what a crew meets in a day. Collated staple sticks load into a magazine and keep a powered stapler running without hand-feeding, which is the difference between a tool that saves time and one that does not. Staples are matched to the tool that fires them — gauge, crown width, and collation all have to suit the magazine — so the tool model is the place to start when choosing. Whether the work is securing service cable to a pole, fixing ground wire, or general timber fastening, these consumables are what keep the fastening tools fed and the crew moving.
