Staples pack Rapid 40109515 — 650 staples, 10 mm leg length

Rapid 40109515 staples are flatwire galvanized fasteners designed with a larger holding area to secure thin materials such as insulation, thin plastics, thin cardboard and carpets. The precision-cut legs improve penetration into materials while the diverging points drive the two legs in opposite directions for an extra-strong bond.

Advantages

The flatwire construction and galvanised finish resist corrosion and provide a broad contact area against the work surface. Precision-cut legs ensure consistent penetration and reduced bending during use. Diverging points increase resistance to pull-out, improving long-term retention in soft or fibrous substrates.

Suitable for

• Fixing insulation sheets and rolls
• Securing thin plastic sheeting
• Attaching thin cardboard or paperboard
• Fastening carpets and underlay

When it may not be suitable

These staples are intended for thin materials and substrates where the short leg length and flatwire profile provide sufficient holding power. They are not suitable for heavy-duty construction, thick timber or dense materials that require longer, heavy-gauge staples or pins.

Key specifications

• Staple type: flatwire, galvanized
• Leg length: 10 mm
• Quantity: 650 staples per pack
• Typical applications: insulation, thin plastics, cardboard, carpets
• Package weight: 90 g

How to use

Load the staples into a compatible manual or pneumatic stapler designed for flatwire staples of this size. Position the material over the substrate and press or trigger the tool to drive the staple through the layers until the diverging points are embedded. Space staples at regular intervals to distribute holding force and avoid overloading a single point.

What to consider before purchase

• Check stapler compatibility with 10 mm leg length flatwire staples
• Confirm the substrate thickness and material type to ensure adequate holding power
• Consider corrosion resistance requirements for the installation environment

Usage recommendations

For best results use a stapler suited to flatwire staples and space fasteners evenly. On soft or fibrous substrates, use closer spacing to improve retention; on firmer bases, standard spacing is usually sufficient.
