Product Information

Full details

The Rapid 53 Series Galvanised Staples in 12mm are designed for users needing strong, durable, and discreet fastening for fabrics, decorations, light construction, and small repairs. Their key benefit lies in their high-performance galvanised steel construction and fine wire design, which results in a nearly invisible staple. A potential caveat is that they are best suited for lighter-duty applications and require a compatible stapler.

FAQs

What types of materials are these staples best for?

These staples are ideal for fabrics, decorative materials, thin wood, and light repair tasks where a discreet finish is desired.

Are these staples suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the galvanised steel offers corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor decorative applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may eventually affect their appearance.

What staple gun do I need to use these staples?

You need a Rapid 53 series staple gun that is compatible with 12mm staples.

How many staples are in a box?

Each box contains 2500 staples.

Can I use these staples for heavy construction?

No, these are fine wire staples designed for light-duty applications. For heavy construction, a different type of fastener and tool would be necessary.

Will the staples rust over time?

The galvanised coating provides good protection against rust. However, in very humid or corrosive environments, some minor surface discolouration might occur over extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Staples not fully penetrating material

Ensure the staple gun's power setting (if applicable) is adequate for the material. Check that the staples are loaded correctly and that there are no obstructions in the staple gun's path.

Staples jamming in the gun

Remove any jammed staples carefully. Check the staple magazine for damage or debris. Ensure you are using the correct size staples for your stapler.

Staples bending or deforming

This may indicate the material is too hard for these fine wire staples, or the staple gun is not providing sufficient force. Consider a different type of fastener or a more powerful stapler if the material is consistently too dense.
