FAQs
Can I use these staples for outdoor fencing?
While durable, these are not galvanized or coated for long-term exterior exposure. They are best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor applications.
Which staple gun models are these compatible with?
These are designed for use with Arrow heavy-duty staplers that accept 8mm (5/16 inch) staples.
Are these staples rust-proof?
They are made of high-quality steel but are not specifically rust-proof; store them in a dry environment to maintain their integrity.
What is the primary difference between these and the 14mm version?
The primary difference is the leg length. The 8mm staples are for thinner materials, while the 14mm version is for thicker, heavy-duty fastening jobs.
Can these be used to staple through thin metal sheets?
No, these are intended for wood, fabric, carpet padding, and insulation. Attempting to drive them through metal will likely cause them to bend.
Troubleshooting
Staples jamming in the gun
Clear the magazine and ensure no debris is blocking the exit channel. Verify that you are not overloading the magazine.
Staple not driving flush
Adjust the spring tension setting on your staple gun or ensure you are applying sufficient downward pressure on the tool while firing.
Staples bending upon impact
Ensure you are using the correct staple size for the hardness of the material; if the material is too dense, the staple may buckle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior holding strength for heavy materials
- Reliable, clog-free performance
- Versatile for both professional and DIY use

- Limited to 8mm depth, not suitable for very thick materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your staple gun is compatible with standard Arrow heavy-duty series fasteners. Before starting, check the spring tension of your stapler to ensure it can drive an 8mm staple flush with your working surface. During use, keep the stapler head pressed firmly against the material to prevent misfires. For maintenance, store the staples in a cool, dry place; exposure to humidity can cause oxidation, which may lead to surface rust and cause the staples to jam within the magazine of your tool.
