luggsey Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 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.

MrHappy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 only had r28. Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 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.

luggsey Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 R28 again then, maybe get a 36 if I see an offer.

grantc Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Never broken one had occasional jammed staples, the older ones seem a lot more powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
