This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, carpenters, and upholsterers needing a reliable supply of staples for various projects. The key benefit is the large quantity (4 x 2.5kg tubs) of durable, galvanised steel staples suitable for extensive work. A potential consideration is that these are heavy-duty staples, so ensure your staple gun is compatible.

Each staple measures 20mm in length and 2.0mm in width.
Yes, the galvanised steel and zinc plating provide rust resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh elements may eventually cause wear.
The exact number varies depending on manufacturing tolerances, but a 2.5kg tub contains a substantial quantity suitable for large projects.
These staples are designed for standard staple guns, but you must ensure your gun accepts the 20mm x 2.0mm size. They are particularly suited for heavy-duty models.
Galvanised steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel, extending the life of the staples and the project they are used in.
While durable, these staples are generally intended for general DIY, upholstery, and carpentry. For critical structural applications, always consult building codes and use fasteners specifically rated for those purposes.
Check that the staples are loaded correctly and are the correct size for your gun. Remove any mangled staples and clear the feeding mechanism.
Ensure you are using a powerful enough staple gun for the material density. The Unifix staples are heavy-duty and may require a stronger drive.
Verify that the staples are the correct size for your staple gun. If the gun is too weak, it might not drive the staple straight. For very hard materials, ensure your staple gun is rated for such use.
Setup: These staples are designed to be used with standard manual or electric staple guns. Ensure your staple gun is loaded correctly with staples of the appropriate size (20mm length, 2.0mm width). Consult your staple gun's manual for loading instructions.
Compatibility: These staples are compatible with most standard staple guns that accept 20mm x 2.0mm staples. Check the specifications of your staple gun to confirm compatibility before purchase. They are particularly well-suited for heavy-duty staplers.
Care: Store the 2.5kg tubs in a dry environment to prevent premature rusting, despite their galvanised coating. Keep them away from excessive moisture. After use, ensure any remaining staples in the tub are stored with the lid securely closed.
