Staple Guns & Hammer Tackers (66 items found)

Staples are used for a huge range of fixing tasks around the home or on the construction site, but when you have a large stapling job to tackle, fixing individual staples into place quickly becomes unrealistic. Whether fastening roofing paper to your roof or upholstery to your furniture, staple guns speed up the process.

Our staple gun department includes a wide range of devices to suit any level of stapling task, delivering fully professional results with the lowest amount of effort.

Which Type of Staple Gun Should You Use?

While these tools bring efficiency to a project, depending on the type of work required, certain staple guns are better than others. For a straightforward stapling task using relatively thin materials, a manual staple gun tacker could make the most economical and efficient choice. As one of the lightest and most compact staple gun types, manual tackers are portable yet powerful, and if you choose a sturdy metal design, you can expect years of reliable use.

However, larger and more rugged tasks need a higher grade of staple gun to deliver fast and efficient results. Electric staple guns, for example, require less physical exertion to operate than manual staple guns, making them ideal for larger projects.

A Hammer Tacker Range with Versatile Options

Hammer tackers are generally used for heavier-duty jobs, like installing carpet padding or insulation. Operated much like regular hammers, hammer tackers drive their staples into your work surface with each blow.

A hammer tacker is a type of heavy-duty stapler that's especially useful when fast work across a large area is needed, rather than precision stapling that's highly accurate. For example, fitting roofing felt or fastening plastic sheeting into place relies more on speed and efficiency than close attention to detail, and for these kinds of jobs, a hammer tacker is ideal.

But when high precision and clean results are more important than sheer power, a finish stapler lets you work quickly and accurately fixing materials such as trim and baseboard.

Stronger Fixing with a Construction Stapler

Construction staplers are designed to hammer larger and stronger staples deeper into their materials, making them ideal for heavy-duty structural use where a regular staple gun wouldn't provide a strong enough connection. However, the extra power of a construction stapler means it should only be used where it's necessary to avoid damaging your materials.

Nailing Tools for Tougher Tasks

Sometimes even a heavy-duty stapler or construction stapler isn't quite powerful enough for the job you have ahead. For the toughest of tasks in the home or at the construction site, our power nailer range makes it almost effortless to drive nails into a wide range of materials and deliver fully secure and long-lasting joins.
