Staplers & Nailers – Guide to Types and Applications

Types of staplers by operating principle

Manual staplers are ideal for office use and lighter materials, while pneumatic staplers like professional models require a compressor but offer the power for continuous work on construction sites. Electric staplers represent a compromise – they provide more power than manual ones without needing compressed air, suitable for furniture upholstery and panel installation.

Pneumatic staplers for professional use

Intensive work requires a pneumatic stapler that uses Nails for pneumatic stapler F-40 or similar standard-dimension nails. Brands like STANLEY FATMAX and METABO offer wear-resistant models with adjustable depth settings, which is crucial when working with different material thicknesses.

Riveters – when they're a better choice than staplers

Riveters use metal rivets instead of staples, providing a stronger bond when joining sheet metal, leather or plastic. Manual riveters from brands like Kangaro and Maped cover most household needs, while professional models offer larger rivet diameters and greater compression force.

Choosing the right nails and rivets

Nail length must match material thickness – upholstery work uses 6-14mm nails, foil and membrane fastening requires 10-16mm, and construction work up to 40mm. Nail crown width also varies – narrow crown (type 53) suits finer work, while wide crown (type 140) distributes pressure better on softer materials.

What to check before buying

Verifying nail or rivet compatibility with your tool is crucial – manufacturers like Bosch and Stanley use standardized types, but always check the manual recommendations. Magazine capacity determines how often you'll need to refill – professional models hold 100+ nails, while simpler staplers have a 50-80 piece magazine. Pay attention to adjustable power settings on electric and pneumatic models.
