The Rapid 19/8 fine-wire staples are precision-manufactured staples designed for light- to medium-duty stapling tasks where a neat finish and dependable hold are desired. With a 5/16" leg length and a flat crown profile, these staples offer smooth, secure clinch without over-penetration — making them ideal for materials such as upholstery fabrics, insulation backing, sheathing paper, light paneling, trim, and general workshop or craft projects.
Made from fine-gauge wire, these staples resist bending and mis-drives, delivering consistent performance in staplers or tackers that accept fine-wire staples. Their round-crown design provides a secure, even hold while maintaining a subtle staple appearance — particularly useful when fastening lighter substrates or finished surfaces. Supplied in a 5,000-staple pack, Rapid 198 staples provide a reliable supply for frequent or ongoing use.
