Unifix Galv Staples - 40 X 4.00mm - Box of 5

You will need a staple gun that accepts staples of 40mm length and 4.00mm thickness. Most heavy-duty staple guns are compatible, but always check your tool's specifications.

Yes, the galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh or constantly wet environments, consider stainless steel staples.

The exact number can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but a 1kg pack contains a substantial quantity suitable for extensive use.

Yes, these staples are suitable for upholstery, especially for securing thicker fabrics or attaching them to dense wooden frames where a strong hold is required.

Galvanised steel is coated with zinc, providing a protective layer that significantly increases resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard steel.

Store the staples in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, to preserve the galvanised coating and prevent premature corrosion.

Check if the staple gun has sufficient power for the material density. Ensure the staple gun is set to the correct depth setting, if applicable. Verify staple compatibility with the staple gun.

Ensure staples are loaded correctly and aligned. Check for bent or damaged staples in the magazine. Clean any debris from the staple gun's magazine and driver mechanism.

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or salt can eventually affect the coating. Store staples in a dry environment. If rust appears on an installed staple, it may indicate the need for a more robust, non-corrosive material for highly aggressive environments.
