Never had a problem with Anglia, rate them highly.

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.

Ok in the correct fabric, some companies have no stapling policy but tbh in the right circumstances they look neater than clipping imo.

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?

Agreed on the neatness front. We allow staple guns to be used.

normally the company ban then as mongs staple thought the cables & use them on plaster ect...

We have them but hardly ever use them. its clips, trunking, tube or galv, makes for a much better job here.

I can get that where visable but would you not staple in a false ceiling?

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.

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)

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.
