of frames. However the force that these staples are driven by an electric or
pneumatic gun, can damage frames that are made from the softer, lighter, timbers.

lengths and wire sizes. The thinnest type, with legs in the region of 10 mm
length, are suitable for the attachment of mesh to wooden components.
Long legged and coarse wire versions can be used for box making. |

but relatively expensive when compared to traditional types of nail. The cost
