Why Choose These T50 Staples
The 1/2 inch leg is one of the most popular T50 staple sizes. It is long enough to bite into wood framing through padding or layered material, yet short enough for everyday home and shop work. Because every T50 staple shares the same 3/8 inch crown, you can keep one staple gun and simply swap leg lengths as the job changes.

Choosing the Right Size
T50 staples come in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2 and 9/16 inch leg lengths. A simple rule is to pick a leg about twice as long as the material you are fastening. Go shorter for thin fabric or paper, and go with this 1/2 inch size for thicker layers or when you need the staple to reach solid wood. Review the size list above before you order, and add a box of a shorter size if you work with thin material too.
