Rapid Tools staples No. 140 Flatwire stainless steel 10 mm, pack of 650

Rapid Tools staples No. 140 Flatwire stainless steel 10 mm, pack of 650 are corrosion-resistant flatwire staples with 10 mm legs designed for use with staplers that accept No. 140 flatwire staples. These stainless steel staples provide a larger holding area against the work surface, making them suitable for fastening insulation, thin plastics, thin cardboard and carpets. Precision-cut legs improve penetration and these staples are specified for outdoor or humid conditions.

Advantages

The stainless steel AISI304 construction offers corrosion resistance for damp or outdoor use while the flatwire profile and larger bearing area increase holding strength on thin and flexible materials. Precision-cut legs promote accurate and consistent penetration, and the narrow blister pack contains 650 staples for repeated fastening operations.

Suitable for

• Fixing insulation material
• Attaching thin plastics and foils
• Securing thin cardboard
• Fastening carpets and floor coverings
• General low-profile fastening tasks with No. 140 staplers

When it may not be suitable

These staples have a 10 mm leg length and are intended for thin materials; they may not be suitable for thick substrates or applications requiring deep penetration. They are designed for flatwire staplers that accept No. 140 gauge staples and will not fit other staple types or sizes.

Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel (AISI 304, A2 class)
• Leg length: 10 mm
• Wire profile: Flatwire, gauge 140
• Quantity: 650 staples per pack
• Application environment: Suitable for outdoor and humid conditions

How to use

Load the pack of No. 140 flatwire staples into a compatible flatwire stapler following the tool manufacturer’s loading instructions. Position the stapler on the workpiece and drive staples evenly across the area to distribute holding force. For best results on insulation and carpets, press the material flat against the substrate before stapling and avoid overdriving which can deform the staple and reduce holding capacity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm stapler compatibility with No. 140 flatwire staples (gauge 140).
• Assess material thickness to ensure 10 mm leg length provides adequate penetration and holding.
• Consider stainless steel AISI 304 for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor use.

Usage recommendations

Use these 10 mm stainless steel flatwire staples for lightweight to medium fastening tasks such as insulation, thin plastics and carpet edging; ensure correct stapler compatibility and consistent staple spacing for reliable results.
