Source of small T nails and staples?

May 15, 2009 15 Replies

Just wondering if any well travelled people here can help.



I have a hand operated staple gun and need staples and T nails for it.



It is brilliant for tacking 3 ply and thin materials.



Most sought are the T nails.



The nails have a height of 10 to 14mm, width of 1.6 to 2.0mm, and thickness of 1.2 to 1.3mm.



Flat staples are height 4 to 14mm, width 11 to 12mm and 1.2 to 1.3 thick.



U staples are height 10 to 12mm, width 6.4 to 6.5mm and 1.2 to 1.3mm thick.



There seems no source on Powerfix or anywhere else for smaller items.



Any help much appreciated.

Screwfix stock T nails - worth a look to see if they're suitable for your purpose:

Last ones I got in that size were Black and Decker "powershot" nails. I've also bought them from Rapesco.

of Powershot staples on ebay at the moment for £19 for five packs (7200 staples).

Hesitate to recommend them since their delivery is slooooow, but got staples for my one that Screwfix and other such places didn't stock.

And many thanks to Dave and the others for their time. :))

The irony is that Leon's message reached Usenet, but is not carried on GG where he posted it. It looks like he had second thoughts and deleted it.

Don't suppose leonlane is the guy selling? Which would be a breach of eBay T&Cs...

I had a quick check and there didn't appear to be any similarities between him and the seller, not that this means a lot. I did make a positive decision not to include his link in my reply though :-)
