No. Staples must match the tool series and the permitted leg lengths stated by the manufacturer. The listed range includes T50 6mm staples, but check the exact gun instructions before buying more fasteners.
Staple Guns and Hammer Tackers for Fixing
MacBlair lists hand-operated staple guns, hammer tackers and Arrow T50 6mm staples. They all drive staples, but the way they are used differs. A hand staple gun is positioned and squeezed at each fixing; a hammer tacker is swung along a run where speed and access matter.
Choose the tool by the material being fixed and the amount of control needed at each staple. The Arrow T50 gun and T50 staples appear in the same range, but staple type and leg length still need to match the specific tool. For trimming material before fastening, the utility knives range covers that separate step.
Check the staple specification, material thickness and surface beneath the work before firing. Keep hands clear of the nose and disconnect or unload the tool as its instructions require before clearing a jam. For other fixing jobs, the broader hand-tool range includes alternative manual tools.
Staplers and Tackers FAQ's
A hammer tacker can speed up repeated fixing along a clear run. A squeeze-action staple gun is easier to position for individual fixings or confined work.
Consider the thickness of the material being fixed and the substrate beneath it, then stay within the tool specification. The staple needs to grip without passing into hidden services or damaging the other side.
No. Penetration depends on the staple, tool and substrate. Test on an offcut or discreet area and follow the tool instructions for the material.
Stop using it and follow the manufacturer procedure for unloading and clearing the jam. Do not point the nose towards anyone or place fingers in the firing path.
