Things to Know Before Buying

• Use only the specified ¼″-leg, 3⁄8″-crown fine-wire staples (SP19-¼ or equivalent) to avoid feed problems or weak clinches

• Technique affects performance—ensure staples are positioned properly and you apply consistent pressure

• Keep the magazine, staple track and clinching area clear of debris to maintain smooth feeding and consistent output

• Test on your actual materials (e.g., bag wrap, tags, ribbon) to confirm stapling result before full job runs
