Staples pack Rapid Tools 40109502 — Type 53, 6 mm leg length, 1080 staples

Rapid Tools 40109502 is a pack of Type 53 finewire staples with a 6 mm leg length, supplied in a compact blister containing 1080 galvanized steel staples. These staples are designed for low visibility fastening and to minimise impact on textile fibres, making them suitable for light paperwork and textile labelling tasks as well as for compatible desktop and light-duty staplers.

Advantages

The staples are made from high-performance galvanized wire with precision-cut legs for reliable penetration and consistent fastening. Their finewire, low-profile design reduces visibility on textile surfaces and helps protect fibres during application. The pack size provides a substantial number of staples for repeated use.

Suitable for

• Fastening paper, labels or tags to textiles
• Light office and school stapling tasks
• Home craft and hobby projects that require small, discreet staples
• Use with compatible desktop and light-duty staplers accepting Gauge 53 staples

When it may not be suitable

These finewire Type 53 staples are not intended for heavy-duty industrial stapling or for use where long leg length is required; the 6 mm legs are designed for thin stacks and lightweight materials. They may not perform well on thick or densely layered textiles or where corrosion resistance beyond galvanization is needed.

Key specifications

• Staple type: Finewire, Gauge 53
• Leg length: 6 mm
• Material: Galvanized steel (also available in stainless steel option)
• Quantity: 1080 staples per pack
• Packing: Narrow blister pack

How to use

Load the staples into a stapler compatible with Gauge 53/T53 finewire staples according to the stapler manufacturer’s instructions. Position the material to be fastened and apply steady pressure or activate the stapler mechanism to drive the staples through the material. For textile labelling, place the staple close to the label edge to minimise fibre disturbance and ensure a secure hold.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your stapler accepts Gauge 53 (Type 53) finewire staples and supports 6 mm leg length.
• Assess whether 6 mm leg length is sufficient for the material thickness you intend to fasten.
• Decide if galvanized steel meets your corrosion-resistance needs or if a stainless steel option is preferable.

Usage recommendations

For textile labelling and delicate materials, test on a scrap piece first to check visibility and fibre impact. Use a compatible light-duty or desktop stapler designed for finewire staples to ensure correct feeding and consistent results.
