What This Long Nose Stapler Is Used For
A long nose stapler like the 97/25-550 is used for furniture and cabinet assembly, upholstery frames, trim, moldings and backing panels. The narrow 3/16" crown holds well and leaves a small mark, so it suits work that will show.
Shops also choose a BeA long nose staple gun for upholstered furniture, where the nose reaches between springs, webbing and frame rails. The 20 gauge wire is strong enough for hardwood frames yet thin enough to avoid splitting small parts.
Choosing the Right 97 Series Staples
BeA 97 series staples for this tool run from 3/8" to 1" long. Choose a leg long enough to pass through the top piece and hold firmly in the base material. Review your material and ask us which 97 series staples fit your job before you add them to your order.
How to Set Up and Use the BeA 97
- Thread an air plug that matches your hose couplers into the inlet. It's usually listed as 1/4", but check the thread on your tool before you buy a plug.
- Set your regulator between 5 and 6 bar (about 73-87 psi).
- Disconnect the air and load a strip of 97 series staples from the bottom.
- Reconnect the air.
- Press the nose to the work and pull the trigger.
Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to the inlet each day and drain your compressor tank often. If a staple jams, disconnect the air, open the magazine and clear the staple from the nose. Staples that don't sink flush usually mean low pressure or a leg that's too long.
Long Nose Staple Gun or Standard 20 Gauge Stapler?
Both drive the same kind of 97 series staple; the real difference is reach. A standard 20 gauge stapler works on open, flat surfaces. A long nose staple gun earns its keep when you staple inside frames, corners or deep profiles. For a standard-nose BeA 97 tool, see the BeA 97/16-407 pneumatic tacker.
