Why This Staple Matters
The 5018-C strikes a balance between gentle handling of lighter materials and reliable holding power. Its wide crown helps prevent tear-through or pull-out when fastening soft or flexible substrates (like insulation, felt, or fabric), while the 9/16" leg depth ensures staples penetrate sufficiently for a secure hold without over-driving or damaging the material. The 20-gauge wire is light enough for delicate tasks yet sturdy enough for everyday use.
