Rulland Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Better surely than 4mm White clips knocked in every 8"-less obtrusive IMHO-and less potential for damage to!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotmod Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Can anyone reccomend a good gun / staple size? One tool I don't have which would save me no end of hassle. Not a fan of clips either but sometimes they have to be used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rulland Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 A large national i used to work for forbid using staple guns Could be any one of them I reckon then judging by the state of the installs I've seen in the past!-any excuse not to use clips, trunking or any other method of cable containment-unless cable tieing to 230v cables counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 A large national i used to work for forbid using staple guns just company policy, there many that don't like them as its easy for an idoit to staple though the cable 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nothing wrong with staple guns in the right hands, I've got a coax staple gun as well, very handy.

fozzies Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
