Staples Rapid Tools 40109511, type 53, leg length 10 mm, galvanized metal, pack of 1080

Rapid Tools 40109511 staples (type 53) are galvanized steel fasteners with a 10 mm leg length supplied in a pack of 1080. Designed for light to medium fastening tasks, these staples resist corrosion and are intended for use in upholstery, general household repairs and office stapling where a corrosion-resistant steel staple is preferred.

Advantages

Galvanized steel construction provides basic corrosion resistance. The 10 mm leg length (type 53, gauge 53) suits a range of materials and applications, while the bulk pack of 1080 staples reduces the need for frequent reloading for ongoing tasks.

Suitable for

• Upholstery work with thin to medium backing materials
• Office stapling of papers and light board materials when using compatible staplers
• General household repairs such as securing fabric, light trim or insulation

When it may not be suitable

These staples are intended for light to medium fastening and may not be suitable for heavy-duty construction, thick timber or structural applications where longer or heavier-gauge fasteners are required. They are galvanized for basic rust resistance but are not stainless steel; in highly corrosive environments or outdoor applications with prolonged moisture exposure, a more corrosion-resistant fastener may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Type: 53
• Gauge: 53
• Leg length: 10 mm
• Material: Galvanized steel
• Pack quantity: 1080 staples

How to use

Load the staples into a compatible stapler designed for type 53 staples following the stapler manufacturer's instructions. Position the material to be fastened, apply steady pressure or trigger the stapler to drive the staple through the material, and ensure the workpiece is supported underneath to allow correct clinching. For best results, test on a scrap piece first to confirm depth and holding performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your stapler (type 53 / 10 mm leg length)
• Suitability of 10 mm leg length for the thickness of materials you will fasten
• Whether galvanized steel corrosion resistance is sufficient for the intended environment

Usage recommendations

Use these Rapid Tools type 53 staples in a stapler rated for gauge 53 and 10 mm leg length. For consistent results, test on scrap material, avoid overdriving into thin substrates, and store the pack in a dry place to maintain the galvanized coating.
