Staple gun

[dan2002]

Hi, was wondering if anyone can advise on this.

I have a 'toolzilla staple gun'.

I got the stanley staples but when i put them in and load the magazine the magazine refuses to go in and secure.
Can anyone advise as to why in simple terms? Something must be wrong in sizing.

Have also attached the compatibility of what staples can go into my particular staple gun. (Image 2)

Would appreciate the exact ones to get preferably from amazon.

Are you trying to put too many in at one go?

Not too sure, I didn't break it apart, just put the whole line in as it came in the box.

Can putting too much in be an issue?

Then again the width of the staples can be an issue

Are you sure it's empty and not got a jammed one in tunnel

Initially I thought that. Those staples then dropped out, still issue persists.

I was thinking staples are staples so would just fit, its frustrating because looks like you need specific types. Worse thing is the staple gun manufacturer do not sell spares on the market like that

Do you mean that the sprung loaded carrier refuses to apply sufficient pressure? Did the staples supplied with it work OK?

No, it totally refuses to go in and lock into place.

Yes staples supplied worked fine, no issues

Then why not try the Arrow ones mentioned in image #2, or ones that claim to be compatible?

No, there are a bazillion different sizes. Every one of my staplers takes a slightly different size. Only buy exactly what it says to use, or maybe something that claims to be compatible with that exact thing, if you're feeling lucky.

(Having said that - maybe you do have an OK size but your strip is too long, per post #2 above.)

Will try t50 ones, they seem to be compatible

These and these should be compatible:

Narrow Crown Staples: 4-14mm (Arrow T50 Rapid 140)

Amazon.co.uk

Round Crown Staples: 10-12mm (Arrow T18 Rapid 28)

Amazon.co.uk

First link, was looking at that, looks good. But most likely will go with the arrow brand as I don't tend to use the staple gun as often, just need it for a small job and I have ran out of supply
