sw46 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 i'd be a bit carefull with 8 core, it is easy to stick a leg through it and cause issues, 6 core tends to be fine. Stapling around skirting, architrave and coving i find tends to be a lot neater and lest intrusive than trunking. Just run a bit of decorators chalk across the cable to blend it into ceiling/walls. Magnolia chalk is heaven sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nothing wrong with staple guns in the right hands, I've got a coax staple gun as well, very handy. ditto +1 cable clips get brittle, offer a possible hazard to children chocking on dislodged bits of them, seen the pin not in the holder but forced through the arch. imho any tool in the wrong hands is simply two tools put together by accident - take a neon screwdriver as example lol! or perhaps not Quote If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

datadiffusion Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Found it.. The Arrow 72.

arfur mo Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Staple guns for 6 core etc = great but for coax? a no-no imo. if you compress the coax you affect its transmission properties higher up the spectrum, making balancing of systems hard to impossible in some cases.ok, if its only 10 meters of cable, but above that, not worth the risk. Im speaking from knowledge of large aerial systems, but the principal holds true in cctv cabling too. breff stated 'coax staple gun', so a tool designed for the job, its boils down to experience, its not like using a club hammer instead of a pinning hammer for 6mm hiats . for a very short period i worked for a company that used staple guns to lace wire sheet panels under hardboard. no way did i want to risk attending to see large hole on door and rusted wire staples with no a tivation .

wsssecurityandfire Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 ADT allowed the use of staples at some APC,s Manchester & Liverpool being 2 of them , Personally if used correctly and with care i approve my lads to use for fixing into soft building materials i.e Timber ect ect , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
