Good day, AB. They're 3/16" deep on CD. There were 100 of them in the box. I hope you found this information useful.
They work great with a 1/2" gap! Thank you for your time and consideration, and have a pleasant day!
The nails are 1 1/8" long, but the plastic staple is 1/4" thick, so the nail only grabs 7/8" of the plastic staple.
You'll only need a hammer, but remember to arc the wire away from the wood before nailing it in place, as it may not hold the wire tightly. If you straighten and arc the wire, you'll get neat and professional results.

These were purchased to help with cable management along the eaves of my house (security camera feeds). I think I bought these for the wrong purpose because they don't seem to be able to hold anything in place except a super thick cable. They're not even rounded like a cable should be. Anyway, I gave up on trying to use these for this and instead relied on my old staple gun. If you don't have a super thick cable or something else that fits the shape and don't mind spending a few minutes per staple to install them, don't bother. Oh, and getting them out is a pain (they're really stuck!).
These are without a doubt the best wire staples I've come across. I used a staple gun to hold everything together. It lacked the necessary punch. These are great because you can push the plastic part in to place, effectively holding the wire in place, then pound each nail in separately or at the same time, with no hands getting in the way and the points going in easily. There will be no more bending staples. These are the only ones I'd consider purchasing.
I'm having a hard time persuading my old wiring buddy that they're OK to use. It is, however, easier to get things in place if you can nail one end, tuck the wire under, and nail the other end. There were a lot less staples that fell out or crocked. br>br>I'm not sure how long they'll last because I've only recently started using them. However, things have been going well so far.
I used a mix of 14/2 and 14/3 wires, and they worked perfectly. They were able to hold a single 14/2 wire as well as two 14/3 wires. There aren't any changes that I can think of.
These were used to keep the romex cables in my garage secure. They're simple to set up and take down if you make a mistake. Because my walls aren't finished, I wanted the electrical cables to blend in with the studs, and these worked perfectly.
In my basement, I required clips to secure ethernet and power cables. These appear to be quite effective. Hammering them in is a little awkward, and occasionally a nail bends or breaks. However, that is most likely due to my hammering skills rather than the product itself.
These work fine, but I found them at Home Depot for a lower price after I purchased them. They are simple to put on and do not pinch the wire.
It does the job, but I wish there was a small notch or something to help pin the wire down.
