Time has come for a new staple gun!

Im looking at the rapid R36 but I'm unsure this one will work for 6 core alarm cable 'and' larger cat5/belden/coax?

Anybody use one, cheapest price I found is £40.

 

only had r28.

I also only have a 28 mainly for 8 core, 28s can be a little bit loose on 4/6 core as it is.

I would say you would need both if you are using both sizes of cable.

Think I would have to be doing a lot of single runs, to justify the larger gauge one.

R28 again then, maybe get a 36 if I see an offer. 

Anyone else find the rapid staple guns unreliable?

Always seem to jam up or break on me. 

Perhaps I'm a bit heavy handed with them?

 

 

nah, I've had the same one for 20yr

I've broken 2 or 3....... 

 

 

Never broken one had occasional jammed staples, the older ones seem a lot more powerful.

Not to be a topper but just thinking mine is from c1995, now only used for the Xmas lights outside and spent a couple of days under water in 2007, but still.
