kwc Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I thought the use of staple guns were banned? We never used them the past 20 years as caused more hassle than their worth. I know the inspectors didn't allow us to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Ok in the correct fabric, some companies have no stapling policy but tbh in the right circumstances they look neater than clipping imo. worth a look here http://www.angliatoolcentre.co.uk/tacwise-z1-140-metal-staple-tacker-for-140-type-staples-6mm-8mm-pid39002.html Never had a problem with Anglia, rate them highly. that's cheap, any good? I have an old rapid I've had for c20 years that's still going strong. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the inspectors didn't allow us to use them. Banned by who? For an inspector to give you a non conformity it has to be against the rules and I don't see anything in any standard that says staple guns are not allowed?

I have an old rapid I've had for c20 years that's still going strong. Agreed on the neatness front. We allow staple guns to be used. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We have them but hardly ever use them. its clips, trunking, tube or galv, makes for a much better job here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get that where visable but would you not staple in a false ceiling? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old rapid I've had for c20 years that's still going strong.Quite sturdy.Survived the usual drop test off the step ladder several times without a problem. I don't use it that often but works fine when needed, Staples easy to source at screwfix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I had to clip a cable for 40mtrs today in a warehouse as a bug has spread through the engineers... network cable? (bugs, spread through engineers eh eh - oh please yourselves) If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alarm Protection Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 6 bed bungalow today and the rapid gun made my life easier. Bugger clipping in the loft. Would have taken double the time as no light and not floored. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
