Things to Know Before Buying
-
As a manual tacker, the R64 is best suited for light to moderate stapling tasks; heavy-duty materials or very thick substrates may require pneumatic or heavy-duty staplers for adequate drive power.
-
Always ensure that the staples you use match the tool’s accepted wire gauge, leg length, and crown width to guarantee secure clinch and prevent misfeeds.
-
For repetitive or high-volume stapling tasks, manual operation may cause hand fatigue — consider ergonomic practices, breaks, or alternating tools in longer sessions.
-
Wide-crown or heavy-duty stapling needs (pallet wood, thick corrugated, crates) may exceed the R64’s capacity — evaluate project requirements carefully before use.
