Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
Non-metallic 14/2 and 12/2 BX, MC, AC, and UF cable are ideal for securing and protecting.
Polyethylene insulator protects cables and aids in the prevention of arc faults.
Steel is used to build the structure.
Sharp, burr-free tips allow for easier starting and less wood damage.
Place a staple over the cable and hammer it in place for framing and construction applications.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use them outside? Is it possible to be galvanized?

They are not, in my opinion.

What are the dimensions of these (tallness)? Please, God, don't make vendors provide product dimensions (and I don't mean the size of the damn box!). ?

The inside measurement between the two legs is 1/2 inch and measures 1 inch from the top of the product to the points. I hope this has provided you with a satisfactory response to your query. They perform admirably.

What is the total number of staples in this package? It is silent on the subject. ?

The title and product description both say "100 pack."

Is the 1/2" version compatible with 12/2 Romex cable?

Yes, I needed 12/3 Romex cable for my particular application.

The item in question is correct
5/5

Because that's what the wiring inspector wants, that's exactly what he gets. You'll be a happy camper if you use these on all 12 and 14 gauge Romex wires. I'm not sure why they won't take any other staples, but they won't: This is the right thing to buy.

Staples made of metal that are used in the electrical industry
3/5

These staples were used on paneling that had already been installed. When hammered into place over electrical wire, the paneling created a spring-like effect, and I didn't have a good experience with this staple as a result of this. It's likely that sheetrock would have worked better. Furthermore, the blue plastic insert intended to protect electrical wire did not always line up as it should have.

4/5

It's what it is; it's a staple hanging somewhere in the shop needle that's quicker than going to Lowe's.

If you enjoy shoddy installations, this is a great game for you
3/5

They stink when they're cold for some reason; they're very soft but brittle, and the plastic parts are rarely centered, so they don't always work.

These are fantastic for electrical work
5/5

I like the blue plastic for both protecting the wires and holding them in the exact middle because the prices are better here than online.

NM cables were used, but they were far too long and prone to bending during installation
4/5

The job called for RED staples to stack two 12-inch stacks of books. 2 NM cables were used, but they were far too long and prone to being bent during installation. It was fine after I cut it down.

Delivery was very quick
5/5

There is no BS in this product. It is of good trade quality. Staples of professional quality with sharp ends that stay in place. Without having to go to a supply store, I was able to purchase what I needed. My order was quickly delivered to my home.

Good
5/5

but. It's a fantastic idea to have a blue installation. When you hit a tie with a hammer, it tends to bend out of shape. Steel with a thicker gauge would be less likely to fail.
