Staples Rapid Tools No. 140 DP Flatwire 14 mm, pack of 650

Rapid Tools No. 140 DP Flatwire staples are 14 mm leg-length galvanized flatwire staples supplied in a pack of 650. Designed for compatible staple guns and upholstery tools, these staples provide a larger holding area against surface materials and corrosion resistance from galvanization, making them suitable for various interior fastening tasks.

Advantages

The flattened crown gives a broader contact area for better grip on thin materials while precision-cut legs with diverging points improve penetration and create opposing leg directions for stronger anchoring. Galvanized steel construction reduces the risk of corrosion in typical indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Fixing insulation materials and thin plastics
• Upholstery tasks such as attaching fabrics or carpets
• Light carpentry and general fastening where 14 mm legs are sufficient

When it may not be suitable

These staples are intended for light to medium fastening in interior applications; they are not designed for heavy structural work or outdoor use where prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions is expected. The 14 mm leg length may be too short for thick materials or multi-layer assemblies.

Key specifications

• Leg length: 14 mm
• Material: Galvanized steel (metallic finish)
• Wire type: Flatwire with flattened crown
• Point type: Precision cut legs with diverging points
• Quantity: 650 staples per pack
• Gauge: 140

How to use

Load the pack of Rapid Tools No. 140 DP staples into a compatible manual or pneumatic stapler following the tool manufacturer's loading instructions. Position the stapler squarely against the work surface and apply steady pressure or trigger action to drive the staple through the material. For best results with insulation, thin plastics, cardboard or carpet, ensure the material is held flat and supported beneath the fastening point.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your stapler model (uses 140 gauge flatwire staples)
• Whether 14 mm leg length is sufficient for the material thickness
• Intended environment—indoor use is recommended over prolonged outdoor exposure

Usage recommendations

Use these staples for interior upholstery, light carpentry and insulation fixing; test on a scrap piece to confirm penetration and holding strength before starting the main job.
