Flatwire staples Rapid Tools No. 140 Stainless steel 10 mm, 2000 pcs

Rapid Tools No. 140 flatwire staples are stainless steel staples with a 10 mm leg length, supplied in a pack of 2000. They are designed for flatwire stapling applications and provide a larger holding area against surface materials, making them suitable for fixing insulation, thin plastics, thin cardboard and carpets. The staples are precision-cut to optimise penetration and are specifically made for outdoor use or humid, damp conditions.

Advantages

The AISI 304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to damp environments. Precision-cut legs improve material penetration and reliable fixing while the flatwire profile increases the contact area with the material. Supplied in a bulk box of 2000 pieces, these staples are convenient for repeated use in compatible flatwire staplers.

Suitable for

• Fixing insulation materials
• Securing thin plastics and foils
• Attaching thin cardboard and paper
• Fixing carpets and floor coverings

When it may not be suitable

These staples are intended for thin materials and light-duty fastening tasks; they are not suitable for heavy structural joins or very thick materials. They require a stapler compatible with No. 140 flatwire format and may not work with standard crown or heavy-duty staple guns that use different staple types.

Key specifications

• Leg length: 10 mm
• Material: Stainless steel (AISI 304, A2 class)
• Profile: Flatwire
• Leg type: Precision cut
• Pack quantity: 2000 pieces
• Gauge: 140 (flatwire format)

How to use

Load the staples into a compatible flatwire stapler designed for 140 gauge staples, following the stapler manufacturer’s instructions. Position the stapler over the material to be fixed and apply even pressure to drive the staple through the surface. For best results with insulation or carpets, ensure the material lies flat and use multiple staples spaced appropriately to secure edges and overlaps.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify stapler compatibility with No. 140 flatwire staples
• Confirm 10 mm leg length is sufficient for the material thickness
• Choose stainless steel for outdoor or humid environments

Usage recommendations

Use staples at regular intervals along edges and seams for secure fixing; when working on damp or outdoor installations, select stainless steel flatwire staples to reduce corrosion risk and maintain long-term holding strength.
