Unifix Galv Staples - 15 x 1.60mm - Box of 5

These staples are designed for woodworking, upholstery, and general repairs, offering a durable fastening solution.

The galvanised coating provides rust resistance for general use, but they are not intended for long-term, direct exposure to harsh outdoor elements without additional protective measures.

Check your staple gun's manual or specifications for compatibility with staples of size 15mm length and 1.60mm gauge. Most standard upholstery or T50 type staple guns should be compatible.

Galvanised means the steel has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion.

The exact number varies slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but the box contains five 100g bags, totaling 500g of staples.

While designed for wood and fabric, they might be suitable for very thin, soft metals in some repair contexts, but performance will depend on the metal thickness and your staple gun's power.

Check that your staple gun is set to the appropriate power setting (if adjustable). Ensure the staples are loaded correctly and not bent. Verify the staple gun is compatible with the 1.60mm gauge.

Ensure staples are correctly seated in the magazine and not overlapping incorrectly. Check for any debris in the staple gun's mechanism and clear if necessary. Try a different row of staples from the bag.

This may indicate the material being stapled is too hard for the staple gun's power, or the staple length is insufficient. Ensure the staple gun is suitable for the material. Check that the staple gun is not worn out.

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Store staples in a dry environment. Light surface rust typically does not affect performance but is best avoided.
