Secure fixings - with V-shaped chisel points
V-shaped chisel points focus force at the tip for easier penetration, while the flat wire profile helps the legs pass cleanly through materials. The point geometry reduces resistance on entry, lowering the chance of tearing fabrics or membranes.
Quick, clean entry produces a firmer clinch, so upholstery, roofing felt and underlay stay secure without repeated staples.
Long-lasting performance - thanks to galvanised coating
A galvanised zinc layer coats the steel, creating a barrier that slows oxidation when staples are exposed to moisture or humid conditions. The protective finish extends the lifespan of each fixing in typical building environments.
Rust resistance keeps fixings reliable over time, making these staples suitable for installations that may see occasional damp or outdoor exposure.
High-volume supply - with 5000 staples per pack
Bulk packaging delivers a large quantity of 140/8mm staples compatible with many common tackers, reducing the frequency of reloads on-site. Standard sizing avoids fitment issues with tools that accept type 140 staples.
Large packs suit tradespeople and bigger DIY jobs, cutting interruptions and saving time during lengthy installations.
