How to insert staples into a furniture stapler?

To nail a film, lining or vapor barrier to the lining, chipboard or furniture cover - all these tasks will help to implement a construction stapler. This device is also called a stapler, a scoop, a staple gun, a nailer or a taker. In this article, we'll talk about what kinds of staplers there are, how to choose them correctly, and how to insert staples into a furniture stapler.

Types of staplers

First you need to decide what type of stapler you need. By the type of driving force, these devices are.

Mechanical

Powered by hand power, have a small capacity, a small number of staples, which can be "refueled".In working with hard materials, this tool is quite difficult - you have to make considerable efforts.

However, mechanical takers have relatively small dimensions and weigh a little, which makes it possible to work in uncomfortable positions. In addition, many are attracted by their low price, although there are models with a fairly high price tag.

Electric

In such tools, the bracket crashes when the trigger is pressed, but the mechanism is powered by electricity. There are models that run on batteries, there is - from the network.

Of course, the performance of such staplers is much higher than that of mechanical ones, but the prices for them are much larger, especially for battery types. Dimensions too much more.

Important! For models that work from the network, the cord can interfere with the operation, and the battery types have a cumbersome handle and weight for inconvenience. But physical effort is minimized.

Pneumatic

Here the driving force is compressed air, under the influence of which nails or staples fly out of the store. Such devices have high performance and a fairly large store - you can immediately fill a furniture stapler with a large amount of consumables.

However, the minus of pneumatic models is that they work from a compressor that is very noisy. With such an aggregate it is very difficult to move, therefore this type of packers is more appropriate for professional use in a certain place.

Important! If you need a construction stapler only for one-time work - just for the time of construction or finishing the house, it is better to choose a mechanical or electric model.

Household and professional

Like all other tools, building takers are conditionally divided into household and professional. The difference in value at the same time is significant - at times. And this is justified, because the matter in the functional, the number of modes of operation, settings and in the working resource:

• In household models a small working resource, since they are mainly made of plastic.
• Professional tools are made of steel, often stainless steel. They contain plastic elements, but, as a rule, they are lining on the metal handle to soften the recoil.

Important! There is still an intermediate class - semi-professional. They are located between these two categories for quality and price. Often in this group it is better to look for a tool for using the house. It does not work badly, and is relatively inexpensive.

Staple staples: types and selection

Each stapler works with certain fasteners. Therefore, in addition, what you need to know how to refill a furniture stapler, it is also necessary to have an idea what kind of consumable material can be used for this. Going to the store behind the staples, you need to know the type, or at least the size.

Staples for stackers are made of the following materials:

• Aluminum - a good choice for working with soft surfaces like pine, but for more rigid they will not work, as they will be crushed.
• Copper - a rather expensive option, which is used in rooms with high humidity. Are also used for soft surfaces.
• Steel is a budget option that can be used for harder surfaces. However, their drawback is that they rust.
• Stainless steel and galvanizing is an excellent choice, but quite expensive. But the fastener turns out to be reliable, for any conditions.

Important! In addition to the dimensions( width of the backrest and length of the leg) and material, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there is sharpening or not. For softer surfaces, this is not so important, but when working with more rigid surfaces it can be a decisive factor: sharpened species go much easier into plastic and dense boards.

How to fill?

The store of a construction stapler can be of two kinds. The tool is more convenient to use when the store opens. Then to insert the staples into the construction stapler is as simple as in the clerical:

1. Pull off the spring.
2. Put a block of staples in the store.
3. Release the spring.

Important! In the process of work, the jammed clamp can be removed at any time, the block can be adjusted and the work can continue.

In the event that the stapler model with a retractable magazine, it is also not difficult to put brackets:

1. Release the lock.
2. Extend the spring.
3. Insert the bracket block.
4. Return the spring to its place by fixing it in the damper.

Important! With a similar structure to remove the bracket, which is stuck, it can be quite difficult. It is necessary to pick it out of the striker, and this can be dangerous - the trigger mechanism must be blocked at the same time.

The choice of a construction stapler should be treated responsibly. Choose only a quality tool and supplies for it, then it will serve you for a long time.
