grantc Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Very odd, I use a tacwise stapler which is plastic lol and it has lasted years. I bought a more heavy duty tacwise one which was metal after loosing one - thinking it would be more robust....... Broke it! Back to a plastic one again! Quote

MrHappy Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 R28 might need the pin braying back in if it's misfiring If it been dropped the body might need squeezing together with a vice if splaying out where the pin is The instructions say to oil them but I've never bothered Quote Mr Veritas God

ultrasonic Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Still using my old faithful BIF Titan twin impact cable tacker I guess from around 1975-1980s, cannot get the BIF staples now so used the Rapid 28/10 and what others I can get hold of these days. Usually found if it miss fired it was the wrong staple. Often stripped mine down to maintain it. Always found it fine on 4,6,8 core cables as longs as you take care. Quote

Amps Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 This will do for cheap occasional https://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-ct10-tacker/27181 Two questions; What size staples for 8 core? What size staples for coax? Quote
