Why Choose Narrow Crown 18 Gauge Staples
A narrow 7/32 inch crown leaves a small, tidy mark that is easy to hide under paint or finish. The thin 18 gauge wire holds well in wood without splitting thin pieces. That mix makes this narrow crown staple a favorite for cabinets and trim. The galvanized finish also helps them resist rust in a shop that isn't heated.

Common Uses
- Cabinet building and cabinet backs
- Underlayment
- Trim work
Bostitch lists cabinet work, underlayment and trim as the main jobs for this staple. For underlayment, drive staples in a steady grid so the sheet lies flat before the finish floor goes down. If you're starting a new shop setup, add an SX series stapler and a few boxes of staples in one order.
Choosing the Right Size of 18 Gauge Staples
Pick a leg long enough to pass through the top piece and grip well in the base material. The 1-1/8 inch size is a good all-round length for trim and cabinet work. We carry the same SX5035 staple in other leg lengths, so review the size range in your tool's manual and add the right box to your order. Buying a few boxes at once saves a trip when a big cabinet job is underway.
