Staples pack Rapid Tools 40109517 — Type 140 flat wire, leg length 14 mm, 650 staples

Rapid Tools 40109517 is a pack of 650 Type 140 flat-wire staples with a 14 mm leg length. The staples are made from galvanized steel with precision-cut legs and diverging points for improved penetration and stronger hold. They are supplied in a narrow blister pack suitable for storage and use with compatible staplers.

Advantages

Galvanized flat-wire construction provides corrosion resistance while the larger flat bearing area increases contact with the surface material. Precision-cut legs improve penetration into thin materials and the diverging points (DP) drive the legs outward for a firmer mechanical bond. The pack contains 650 staples, offering a practical quantity for upholstery, light repairs and craft tasks.

Suitable for

• Upholstery and carpet fixing
• Insulation materials and thin plastics
• Light carpentry and joinery tasks
• Paper, cardboard and general office or home repairs

When it may not be suitable

These staples are intended for light to medium fastening tasks and thin to moderate materials. They are not designed for heavy structural work, thick hardwoods or load-bearing joints where longer or thicker fasteners are required.
