What does the number on a staple series actually mean?

71. 80. 90. 140…

It’s easy to assume the numbers tell you the size. They don’t.

Staple series are reference codes, so when you’re choosing a staple, you still need to consider the crown width, wire gauge, leg length, application and whether it’s compatible with your tool.

That’s also why two series used for similar jobs aren’t necessarily interchangeable.

We’ve put together a straightforward guide explaining the common staple series and what you actually need to look for.

👉 Read the staple series guide: https://themtkgroup.co.uk/news-and-blog/understanding-staple-series/

And if you’re still looking at a box of staples wondering whether they’ll fit your tool, ask us.

We quite like the awkward enquiries.
You know the ones…

“I’ve had this stapler for years. What staples does it take?”
“This keeps jamming. Is it the tool or the fastener?”
“I need to fix this to this. What would you use?”

They’re often the conversations where we can be most useful.

You don’t need to know the product code before you call us. Tell us what you’re working with, what you’re trying to achieve and what’s going wrong.

We’ll help you work backwards from the job.

And if what you’re already using is the right option? We’ll tell you that too.

Got an awkward one? Send it our way.

The right adhesive is only part of getting the bond right.

Surface preparation, coverage, open time and application can make just as much difference as the product itself.

That’s why we spend time understanding how the products we supply actually perform in use - so when you ask us which one you need, we can talk about the job, not just the label.

Not sure what suits your application? Give our team a call.

How long should your fixing be?

A useful starting point is the 2× rule.

When fixing timber, MDF or sheet material, look for a fastener that’s at least twice the length of the material depth you’re fixing.

For example:
6mm → 12mm+
8mm → 16mm+
12mm → 24mm+

It’s not a rule for every job. The material, application, holding strength required and what’s behind the fixing still matter - and sometimes a longer fixing will be appropriate.

But as a quick starting point at the bench, 2× is worth remembering.

👉 We've explained it in more detail here: https://themtkgroup.co.uk/news-and-blog/how-to-choose-the-right-nail-length/

Still unsure? Tell us what you're fixing and we'll point you in the right direction.

What’s the best stapler? It depends what you’re asking it to do.

Fine wire, medium wire or heavy wire.

Different staple lengths. Different crown widths. Different workloads.

The right choice starts with the application not the badge on the tool.

Tell us what you’re fixing and we’ll help you work backwards from there.

“I just need some staples.”

We hear it a lot. The problem is, there are rather a lot of them.

Crown width, wire gauge, leg length, finish - small differences can determine whether a staple is right for your tool and your application.

If you’re not sure what you need, don’t guess. Tell us the tool you’re using or send us a photo and we’ll help identify it.

The job comes first. The brand comes second.

Looking for A4 stainless steel strip nails? There’s something worth knowing first.

A4 stainless fasteners are available in other formats, but not currently in this type of collated strip nail.

For many external timber applications, A2 stainless is the available collated option but the right choice still depends on the timber, environment and application.

Our latest blog explains the difference, why A4 strip nails can be difficult to source and where A2 fits in.

There’s more to an order than what arrives in the box.

Yes, we supply fasteners, tools, fixings and everything that goes with them.

But sometimes what you really need is someone to tell you which fastener will work, whether your tool is compatible, or whether the tool you've already got is worth repairing.

That knowledge and support is part of the order too.

And next time you're not quite sure what you need, ask us.

Sometimes the part that stops the job isn’t the part you’d expect.

A pneumatic tool can look perfectly fine from the outside while a worn component inside is affecting the way it fires.

That’s why a proper inspection matters.

Rather than replacing parts based on symptoms, we strip the tool down, identify what’s actually causing the problem and advise from there.

Got a nailer or stapler that isn’t performing properly? Speak to us and we'll be happy to help.

New isn’t always the answer.

If you’ve used the same nailer or stapler for years, you’ll know exactly how it performs - and a fault doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to replace it.

Sometimes a good tool is simply worth repairing.

Our workshop works on nailers and staplers from a wide range of manufacturers, and we’ll always look at whether a repair makes sense before suggesting otherwise.

And if the tool really has reached the end of the road? We’ll tell you.
