Why This Staple Matters
The 5016-C is ideal when you need a reliable fastener for non-structural jobs where a wide-hold surface is more important than deep penetration. The wide crown prevents tear-through and distributes load evenly — a big plus when stapling soft materials like insulation, house-wrap, roof felt, or thin sheeting. Meanwhile, the ½″ leg length ensures enough grip for secure hold without damaging delicate substrates. The galvanized finish helps ensure longevity and consistent performance, whether used indoors or in sheltered outdoor conditions.
