A mechanical stapler allows you to nail plastic panels, lining clamps, fabric to furniture, wooden or plastic surfaces.
There are three types of staplers: mechanical, electrical and pneumatic.
Mechanical staplers are affordable, compact, lightweight, and easy to maneuver. In the following, we will only talk about them.
How to choose a stapler?
In short, it is undesirable to buy the cheapest options, as well as plastic models. The metal tool is more powerful and more reliable.
Choose professional models that have an adjusting screw (lamb) at the top. It helps to regulate the force with which the tool will punch through the material.
Many people forget
Before working, adjust the adjusting screw according to the material of the surface to be worked on.
If it's a hard plywood, it will need a lot of punching through the material, so it's worth setting a lot of force. If it is a loose surface, the force must be reduced so as not to break through the fabric, or for example the pvc panel that you are targeting.
During operation, it is recommended to press the lever with one hand, and press the adjusting screw with the thumb of the other hand. Then the return will be minimal and the load will be distributed evenly in the stapler. You will be able to hammer in the brackets much better.
How to load staples into the receiver
The design of all mechanical hammers is almost the same. There is a handle-lever, due to which pressure occurs, and at the bottom of the stapler there is a metal plate that opens the receiver. Here we have to load the brackets.
Before buying brackets at a hardware store, you need to find out what size is right for your machine. As a rule, the size and type of suitable staples are indicated on its body.
For example, on the body of our stapler, the width is 12 mm and the depth is 6-14 mm. This means that you will only be able to charge staples from that range.
Smaller or larger brackets will not fit the receiver. The size of the staples in millimeters is also indicated on their packaging.
To fill the shells into the stapler, you need to open the metal plate on the back surface.
To do this, you need to take it with your thumb and forefinger on both sides, then pull it towards you and slightly down. Thus, we wring out the metal tab on the back of the plate, and pull out a metal spring, similar to the one in a regular stationery stapler.
If there are still staples left in your stapler, they will fall out after you pull out the spring. If they are not there, then it is time to put new ones for further work.
Staples are inserted into the receiver (hole in the position of the letter "P"). Next, we insert the spring back, closing the metal foot. That's it, the tool is loaded and ready to go!
How many shells will fit
Now a little about how many shells fit in the stapler. Staples are sold in small rows. The row can be divided into several parts independently, slightly breaking it with your hands.
1-1.5 rows are loaded into the tool. 2 rows rarely fit in the receiver, so if there is a lot of work to be done, it is better to prepare halves of the rows before starting work.
What to do if the bracket is stuck
It is worth noting another very important point that will help you in your work. It happens that the brackets are bent and stuck in the exit hole. They cannot be hammered into the surface and cannot be pulled out by hand.
In this case, we need to pull out the feed magazine completely.
This possibility exists for almost all professional staplers.
First you have to repeat the opening of the metal plate and pull out the spring.
In this way, you will pull out the entire feed magazine that was in the tool.
You will see a jammed bracket, which is now easy to pull out with your hands.
Assembling the stapler back is not difficult: the entire pulled out block returns to its place with a push. When you do this, you should hear a click. After that, do not forget to put the spring in place.
More than just brackets
Some staplers can work not only with staples, but also with carnations of various shapes. The designations with which the stapler works are indicated on its body or in the instructions.
Carnations are tucked into the stapler in the same way with staples, but you need to be careful after pulling out the spring. A number of carnations must be loaded along one of the outer faces of the letter "P", and not inside this very letter!
If you want it to give out two nails at once side by side when working with a stapler, the second row is loaded along the second outer edge. Next, the spring is inserted and the stapler closes.
A furniture stapler is widely used in the household, with its help you can easily nail a greenhouse film, cover furniture with a cloth, and it will also come in handy in other situations. The variety of models will confuse an uninformed person, so in this article you will find useful tips on choosing how to use it, which staples are suitable for which models.
Home staplers are widely presented on sale, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the type of staple. The most popular and frequently used type of staple is type 53. Most models use type 53. This type has the following dimensions: staple width 11.4 mm, thickness 0.7 mm. Of course, you don’t need to know these sizes, you just need to know what staples your “pigalle” works on, their type.
The second is how deep the staples can be hammered.
Furniture pistols are simple (staples 4-8 mm deep, they are inexpensive). Most often made of plastic, intended for infrequent use. Only small staples are used, so only fabric or paper can be nailed to them. Cheap and unpretentious, the price is about 100 rubles. Like these ones.
There are also options 4-10 (staples from 4 to 10 mm inclusive). Such pistols are already made of metal, though there is no adjusting screw. Yes, however, it’s useless, 10 mm staples can be hammered without maximum adjustment. As a rule, staples type 53 are used.
Staplers 4-14 mm (very first photo in the article). The most popular and best selling. Made of metal, good quality.
Use staples 4-14 mm deep with 53 type. The main difference from others is the presence of an adjusting screw, with which you can increase or decrease the impact force. As a rule, if the bracket is more than 10 mm deep, then the screw must be tightened in the direction of increasing the impact force, otherwise the bracket will not fully enter the tree. A wide range of staple sizes (4,6,8,10,12,14 mm) will allow you to choose the optimal depth for the job. Of the good models, the Zubr company can be distinguished - reliable and high-quality, the price is 330 rubles.
Also, from household models, it is necessary to single out a model with a type of bracket 140. It is thicker, has dimensions: a width of 10.6 mm and a thickness of 1.2 mm. If you load type 53 staples into a type 140 stapler, it will fire 2 staples at once. Therefore, it is so necessary to know the type on which the "pigalle" works. Most often, type 140 pistols support several types of staples, these are small studs and semi-circular brackets for clogging the cable. We can say that this is a universal option, which is a pleasure to work with. However, it does not support the most popular type 53 bracket. The Stayer stapler, shown in the photo below, supports 4 types of staples: type 140, type 300, type 500 and type 36. Its price is 650 rubles. 
Shackle type 53
The most used, used in most staplers. 
Rectangular
Shackle width 11.4 mm
Thickness 0.7 mm.
Dimensions (depth) 4-14 mm.
Sold in packs of 1000 pieces
There are 2 types: hardened (hard) and simple. Hardened are used for strong or glued wood (chipboard). Ordinary staples are 2 times cheaper, designed for soft wood.
Type 140
Powerful, thick staples are also used for attaching material to wood, plywood, chipboard.
Rectangular brace.
Width - 10.6 mm
Thickness - 1.2 mm
Sizes 4-14 mm
Packs of 1000 pieces.
The cost is higher than that of type 53 staples.
Type 36
Semicircular brackets for cable fixing.
Bracket width - 7.6 mm (you can pin a cable with a diameter of not more than 6.4 mm)
Thickness - 1.2 mm
Sizes - 10, 12. 14 mm
Type 300
Small carnations with a T-shaped cap. Are applied to fastening to a tree, daner, a chipboard.
Nail thickness - 1.2 mm
Sizes - 10, 12 and 14 mm.
Type 500
Carnations without a hat (like finishing). In general, it looks like a type 300, only without a hat.
Sizes - 10,12, 14 mm.
If you are engaged in furniture production and use the appropriate tool constantly in hard mode, then ordinary household models will not last long. Therefore, for such purposes, there are professional options. The RAPID tool proved to be excellent. This company specializes in the production of only furniture pistols, so they are of excellent quality. However, their cost is rather big, for example. A standard pistol for staples of type 53 costs 2200 rubles. However, according to customer reviews who have bought a couple of these models from us, they are very strong. Before that, they bought ordinary household ones, but they often failed. Therefore, it was decided to buy 1 professional stapler for testing - it survived 10 conventional staplers. As you can see, the difference is simply huge. For home use, the usual inexpensive one, for example, the Zubr company, is quite enough.
How to insert staples
For those who have picked up a stapler for the first time, this can be a problem. But after the first time, you will immediately learn, nothing complicated. Here's a photo for you.
First, you take out the “staple pusher” with a spring from the pistol, then insert the staples with the tip down and push them in with the “springy thing” to the end until it clicks into place.
Preparing the stapler for work
Pull out the latch, which is located at the back of the stapler.
Insert the brackets into the special groove. Staples must be inserted with the tips down. (P)
Install the valve with the spring in place
The stapler is ready to use.
How to use a stapler
Firmly attach the stapler to the surface where you want to hammer the staple.
Without lifting the stapler from the surface, press the lever until you hear a characteristic sound. This action will require mechanical effort.
If the staple does not fly out, then it is stuck and you need to get it out by following the 4 steps of preparing the stapler for work.
Ready. The bracket was successfully hammered.
In order not to be injured by a furniture stapler, it is important to thoroughly understand how to use such a tool. If you are using a mechanical stapler, first adjust the screw adjuster. Adjustment should be made on the rough material by turning the knob from minimum to maximum. If the fastener does not enter the material from the first blow, then you will need to re-adjust your furniture stapler, and if it does, then you start working on the “finish”.
To drive staples at the right distance, it is best to mark such places in advance with a pen or pencil. You can also use a latch, which must maintain the same distance when driving in fasteners without prior marking.
Don't forget to also hold the material while making shots so that the material cannot move out when the staple is driven in. Do not forget to also monitor the presence of staples so as not to be left without them at the most inopportune moment for you.
When the tool is not in use, secure the handle with the safety lock. That's how it's supposed to be for safety reasons. By following these simple recommendations, you can easily cope with the upholstery of a sofa or other necessary task associated with a furniture stapler, the price always depends on the type of tool and its manufacturer.
Construction stapler repair.
A construction stapler is a functional tool with which you can fasten various elements together. Such devices are now produced in various types and modifications, so choosing the only correct option can be difficult.
Varieties of staplers
Before you go to the store for this tool, you should clearly evaluate the purpose of its purchase and the parameters that should be present in the device. Only then will it be possible to choose what is needed in the presented assortment.
Manual stapler
This is a device that works mechanically, that is, to exit the bracket from the device, you need to press the handle and apply some physical force. The main positive quality of this furniture stapler is its autonomy. So, you can work with it even on the street, the performance of the device is completely independent of the presence of an electrical network.
But, if it is planned to carry out a large amount of work, then this will require considerable costs not only of time and effort. It can be concluded that this type of furniture stapler is good for use at home when solving small problems.
Electrical appliance
Such a device, in turn, requires an electrical connection or a battery. This furniture tool is already used by professionals for longer work. But, as a rule, an electric stapler has a low impact force and a quick failure of the mechanism.
Pneumatic stapler
For production-scale tasks, pneumatic tools are used, which have greater speed, strength and durability compared to other options.
A pneumatic stapler is suitable for working with denser materials, for example, it will be indispensable in the process of fixing chipboard sheets to each other.
Choosing the right stapler
Based only on the nature of the future work with a furniture stapler, it can already be selected. For example, for a single upholstery change on an armchair or sofa at home, a mechanical model is quite suitable. This is due to the fact that for the formation of furniture frames in production, mainly soft woods are used and a lot of effort is not required to attach fabric to them.
If the work will involve mounting on a solid base, then the mechanical option will not help. In this case, an electric stapler will help out. Of course, you can also choose a pneumatic tool, but its cost is high, so if you do not need a professional device for permanent use, there is no point in buying it.
Here are those additional design details that greatly facilitate the use of a mechanical stapler and the presence of which you should pay attention to when choosing:
- Transparent compartment for staples. This addition will allow you to monitor the amount of consumables and, if necessary, quickly respond to its completion.
- Adjustment of force of blow allowing to adjust a stapler under any material.
- Stopper on the handle, which will prevent accidental firing of the bracket.
- The presence of a rubber pad on the handle allows the tool not to slip in your hands.
Selection of staples
For each stapler, it is necessary to select the consumable material that will ensure the smooth operation of the device. Typically, the types of staples for a particular tool are indicated in the instructions for it. You need to know about the main parameters of the staples for the stapler:
- The depth, which can vary, is from 4 to 14 mm. Choose it depending on the material with which you have to work. For example, for upholstery of furniture with a tapestry, staples with a depth of 8 mm will be needed.
- The type of staples must be combined with the brand of the stapler. Thus, staples of incorrect marking, for example, too small, can cause flying out one after another during operation or jamming of the tool.
Do not replace the staples indicated in the instructions for the stapler with others. In appearance, they may be the same, but the geometry that is invisible to the eye may well differ, which will contribute to the failure of the unit.
Working with a mechanical stapler
To learn how to carry out repair work using a construction stapler, you need to know about the basic rules of this process.
We charge the device
Before you begin to carry out, for example, the upholstery of a sofa, you should learn how to charge the stapler. This is done step by step according to the following algorithm:
- Installing the device on the fuse.
- Opening the flap at the back of the stapler, behind which is the staple compartment.
- Pulling the rod with the spring out of the compartment.
- Installing the staples with the upper bent part to the handle of the stapler.
- Release of the rod to clamp them.
- Slam the sash until it clicks and start working.
Some models have a different mechanism and therefore many people think about how to fill them. Here, too, there is nothing complicated, it is enough to take out a special chute that appears when the button is pressed. Staples are installed in it with sharp ends down. After the filled element is inserted back.
Fasten the brackets to the base
After clarifying the instructions for charging, it will not be superfluous to find out how to use the stapler during direct work.
It is done like this:
- Prepare materials for fixation and the instrument itself.
- Mark the line along which the fastening of the brackets will go. This makes it easier to mount the fasteners exactly in the place where it is planned.
- The stapler is applied to the right place quite tightly.
- Without lifting the device from the surface, press the lever.
- After that, if everything is done correctly, a characteristic sound will be heard, and the bracket will securely attach to the base.
To ensure safety in the process of working with a furniture stapler, the following recommendations must be observed:
- Before fixing the staples with a mechanical stapler, it is adjusted on an unnecessary piece of material. To do this, after the shot, they look to see if the bracket has completely entered the base. If yes, then you can start working right away. If not, then you will have to turn the screw mechanism from minimum to maximum in order to achieve a successful position.
- When working, be sure to hold the material to prevent displacement with your free hand.
- After finishing work, the handle must be put on the fuse to avoid accidental pressing and operation of the device.

Among the many different tools, a device with which you can hammer staples and small nails is in rather great demand. This instrument is called a tacker. The people also fixed its other name - a stapler. Often the words “construction”, “furniture” are added to this name. A construction stapler of various designs is used by professional builders and home craftsmen. This tool fastens various parts with special staples and nails of various sizes and shapes.
A construction stapler is used to fasten various parts.
It is very convenient to use large staples in work. Fasteners occur simultaneously at 2 points, the part is held much stronger than attached with a single nail. The staple cross grabs and holds the part more securely than the nail head. The stapler is capable of hammering nails up to 32 mm in size, up to 1.6 mm thick. Staples are very similar to the staples of stationery staplers, only larger and more powerful. They have legs of various lengths for attaching various building and furniture upholstery materials. They fasten fabrics, plastic siding, plywood, fiberboard, cable.
Advantages of the stapler
Any stapler has its advantages:
Construction pneumatic stapler.
- the tool saves time and effort;
- you can work with only one hand;
- you can perform work in an uncomfortable position, being on the scaffolding, on slings, on a stepladder;
- there is no risk of damage to the workpiece;
- the ability to use different consumables;
- equipment reliability;
- greater tool life;

Instructions for use
To work properly with the stapler, it is enough to follow the requirements and recommendations of the following instructions:
The electric stapler is powered by mains voltage.
- The professional construction stapler works due to a powerful spring. The spring is actuated by a special trigger lever in the form of a handle. There are tools with an electric mechanism. They receive energy from the network or from a battery. The network connection keeps the tool running throughout the working day. The battery-powered device needs periodic recharging.
- The construction stapler is not equipped with any fuses that protect against the departure of the staple. Therefore, with careless work, you can injure your assistant or yourself by shooting in the leg or arm. A bracket that fixes the trigger handle can serve as protection. Otherwise, there are no special rules for using the tool. You just need to mark a line indicating where the staples or nails will be placed. Staples are driven in along this line. To pull out a staple or nail, you need to use a special tool that resembles pliers.
- Before use, the tool must be charged. For this, a special magazine-cassette is provided, into which staples or nails are inserted. Each stapler model is different and the charging system is somewhat different. When buying a tool, the seller must show the method of charging. In any case, staples are sold in packs of 1000-5000 pieces. 80 to 100 pieces are put into the cassette.

Tool varieties
The device of a pneumatic stapler involves driving in a staple not with the help of compressed air energy.
The construction stapler is a fairly versatile tool. With its help, upholstered furniture is upholstered in furniture workshops. This can be done at home as well. Covering the frame of a garden greenhouse with plastic wrap is quite a feasible task for such a tool. The tool is available in several versions:
- electric;
- pneumatic;
- mechanical.
Each of these devices has its own individual properties. One of the properties is the depth of the bracket. It ranges from 4 to 14 mm. Household tools are charged with such staples. For furniture upholstery, 8 mm staples are sufficient, for other work a different size is needed. The most common staples are type 53. This type has the following characteristics:
- thickness of material for manufacturing - 0.7 mm;
- staple width - 11.4 mm;
- depth (leg length) - 4-14 mm.
With some types of tools, type 140 staples are used. They have the following dimensions:
- thickness - 1.2 mm;
- width - 10.6 mm;
- depth - 4-14 mm.
When buying staples, you need to remember what your stapler works with. Type 36 semi-circular staples are used to fasten the cable. Type 300 are nails. Staples of any type can be simple and hardened. Simple ones are well driven into wood. For glued wood and plywood, for fiberboard and chipboard, it is better to use hardened staples.
Staplers of some models may have an adjustable impact force. Usually these are the tools that are capable of firing 14mm staples. By rotating a special regulator, they compress the working spring of the tool or release it. Any tool can be professional and household. The construction stapler is no exception.
The professional version differs from the domestic one in its resource. It is about 10 times higher than the resource of a tool for domestic use. Their prices also differ significantly from each other. Among household tools, the products of Zubr, Fit and Stayer stand out for their quality. High-quality professional devices are produced by Rapid from Sweden. They have a 2 year warranty. All these tools are much more convenient than a hammer and nails. The speed of work is many times higher, while only one hand is occupied, the other hand can support the material.

Tool selection rules
A mechanical stapler drives in staples due to the physical efforts of a person.
For the correct choice of a construction stapler, you need to determine the following points:
- Completing a task.
- stapler type.
- Main characteristics.
- Price.
- Proportions.
For a correct and error-free choice, it is necessary to decide exactly what the stapler is for. For rare use at home and for work in production, a completely different tool is needed.
You need to carefully familiarize yourself with the different types of products, with their advantages and disadvantages, and then choose the tool that best meets your requirements.
Be sure to study all the parameters of the product, its performance characteristics. Pay attention to the presence or absence of additional functions, take an interest in the materials from which the stapler is made. You need to check the impact force on a piece of chipboard right in the store. Or just pay attention to what length of staples the tool can work with. If there are devices that work with staples in sizes 4-8 mm and 4-14 mm, then the 4-14 mm option should be preferred.
It is advisable to look at and compare prices for similar products in other retail outlets and choose the most advantageous option for the ratio between quality and price of products.
