Why Choose These 5/16 Staples
A 5/16 inch leg gives a firm hold in thin material while staying short enough to avoid going all the way through a panel or board. That makes these 5/16 staples a smart pick for screen doors, fabric, craft work and light repairs around the house. They share the same 3/8 inch crown as every other T50 size, so no tool change is needed.
Compatible Tools
These staples fit Arrow T50 series tools, including:
- Arrow T50 manual staple gun (see our Arrow T50 stapler)
- Arrow T50OC outward clinch staple gun
- Arrow T50PBN and T50HS staple and brad nail guns
- Arrow T50ACD corded and T50DCD cordless electric staple guns
Common Uses
- Window and door screen
- Thin fabric, felt and craft projects
- Posters, signs and paper
- Plastic sheeting and vapor barrier
- Light repairs on thin wood or panels
Short staples are also easier to pull out later. That helps with seasonal jobs like holiday lights, plastic window covers and garden netting, where you want a firm hold now and easy removal later.
Choosing the Right Size
T50 staples come in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2 and 9/16 inch leg lengths. Pick a leg about twice as long as the material you are fastening. The 5/16 size is best for thin layers. For padded fabric or insulation, review the longer sizes and add a box of 3/8 or 1/2 inch T50 staples to your order.
