The construction stapler appeared on the domestic market relatively recently, but instantly earned a reputation as an indispensable tool for a wide variety of needs. It would seem that difficult to buy a stapler, but as soon as you come to the store, you immediately fall into a stupor from the abundance of models and varieties of mechanisms. The choice of construction stapler will cease to be a problem as soon as you read this article.

General characteristics

The first stapler was invented in the 18th century with one of the French workers at the royal court. The eyelid staplers began to use in a typography and printing. The spectrum of the application of the tool was expanded as technically progress, and soon metallic brackets were invented. However, fully revealed its potential, the stapler managed quite recently when it became a publicly accessible, inexpensive tool, to buy which in any construction store.

Device and principle of operation

The construction staple device is based on a rather uncomplicated shock mechanism. Both mechanical and electrical staplers have a flat or twisted spring, which is divided by a motor or muscular power. The pneumatic stapler works a little differently, but we will tell about it just below.

Consider the principle of work stapler:

1. The spring is divided by a motor or muscular strength.
2. Pressing the jurka or the translating of the lever until the stop leads to the release of the slaughter.
3. Machine, in turn, pushes one bracket from the cluster and drives it into the material.

As you can see, the principle is quite simple, but how to make life easier! Staples charged into the tool from the back side and advance automatically as expenditure by means of a spring pusher.

A good professional staple gun is able to replace a hammer with nails. You save time and energy by making just one click instead of several strokes. And the most remarkable thing that tackers can drive not only staples, but the same nails, making the tedious construction of a pleasant and quick work.

The advantages of the stapler:

• saving time and effort;
• occupied by only one hand (the second material can be held, etc.);
• it allows you to work in an unstable position, at a height (ladder, roof timbers, forests);
• it allows you to work in confined spaces;
• accurate transmission of kinetic energy (there is no risk of damage to the workpiece, cause scratches, chips, etc.);
• multifunctional (various consumables);
• durability;
• reliability;
• ease of operation and maintenance;
• anticorrosion consumables;
• safety during operation (as opposed to a hammer, you can not fight off the fingers of a stapler).

Purpose

Stapler is used in cases where it is necessary to do something with something tightly together, so - just about anywhere. Recently, this tool has become an integral part of the arsenal of designers and decorators. It is useful to have in the home set somewhere between the screwdriver and hammer. Price staple gun free allows you to purchase a simple model for home use.

Stapler is designed to work with the following materials:

• tree and all its derivatives (timber);
• plastic.

Of course, you can drive bracket and drywall, and other modern building materials. Special restrictions for instrument does not exist, as long as the bracket has broken foundation and well-kept.

Scope of application of the stapler:

• furniture industry (fastening upholstery, structural elements, drape, etc.);
• art sphere (stretching canvases on stretchers, fixing of posters, pictures);
• work with sheet materials (chipboard, plywood, particle board, sheet, foil, etc.);
• creating lathing, modules and subsystems;
• installation of tiles or roofing material;
• fixing insulating materials (insulation, waterproofing, films, membranes);
• siding cladding or lining;
• floor assembly of grooved planks;
• securing carpeting;
• fixing and laying of cables;
• construction film greenhouses.

Of course, the mechanical construction stapler is not able to cope with all these tasks. That is why there are several types of tags, whose capabilities are superior to ordinary "home" models. Consider in more detail each of them.

Types of staplers

Mechanical

The mechanical construction stapler can be described like this: a simple and reliable tool in which there is nothing superfluous. It is characterized by the most elementary design compared to its "faded" counterparts. Even one who did not hold the hammer in the hands of him without difficulty. All that will be required of you - do not forget to insert new brackets to the store.

The main advantage of mechanical models is complete autonomy. The manual construction stapler does not work from the network or batteries and is easy and compact. It can be calmly taken to the cottage or even hiking (fix the awning or tarpaulin from the rain).

What to pay attention to when choosing a mechanical stapler:

• the housing - must be made of shockproof light plastic, for example, a Rapid-R53 Ergonomic construction staple model;
  
• the lever is preferable to choose a metal lever because it must withstand a strong pressure;
• the casing - the best option is considered the collapsible casing, fastened with screws, and not rivets. This allows you to disassemble it if necessary to lubricate or replace faulty parts;
• the impact mechanism - from the type of shock mechanism depends the performance of the stapler. If the model is equipped with a twisted (torsion) spring, you will have to make more efforts to clog the bracket, besides, it will be quite tangible. Therefore, if you choose a gift for fragile young artist, it is better to refrain from this option. Plate (spring) spring inside the mechanism is used in professional models. Weigh it much easier, and there is almost no return. At this moment it is worth stop in more detail. The fact is that a strong return can quickly tire a worker, therefore special impact-absorbing lining are provided on professional staplers. If the model of the model is covered with rubberized material, then the rate of return will be evenly distributed over the surface and dissipate, without causing tangible discomfort;
• adjustment mechanism is one of the most important elements of the design. The corrugated wheel or switch allows you to adjust the materials of various hardness, thereby spent exactly so much effort to press the lever as needed. For example, materials from pine require a minimum of effort, and to break through the plastic or chipboard must be properly pressing. Too strong pressure on the soft material will lead to the appearance of a dentity, and if you do not even give, then the bracket will not be on the entire height;
• shop - make sure that he reliably closed on the latch. It is much easier to charge the stapler if the brackets are inserted into the retractable element, and not ride through the slot. Control the number of remaining brackets is very convenient, so it makes sense to search the stapler with an observation window;
• the standard snap-duty size is the type of equipment for which the stapler is designed. Most often it is the usual P-shaped staples of various thickness and height, but there are models for semicircular fasteners ("cable" staplers). There are also tools for climbing nails and pins. If necessary, you can choose the option with the possibility of simultaneous work with several types of brackets. There is also a special type - construction stapler Instanem, capable of working with hooks and nails. He is indispensable in household and designer activities. With it, you can beat the hook for the painting or towels in the kitchen in a second.
  

The price of a mechanical construction stapler will appeal to economical owners. Depending on the manufacturer and characteristics, you can pick up the optimal option for any wallet.

Electric

Electric building stapler is a more advanced and advanced analogy of a mechanical version, although not devoid of its flaws. But we will not be about sad, and consider the characteristics and advantages of models.

Characteristics of electrical system:

• the spring is shared by means of a motor, not a muscular strength, due to which the power and functionality of the tool increases;
• due to the increase in the strength of the strike, you can work with more durable consumables and pierce firm and thick materials. For example, the maximum length of the bracket for mechanical staplers is 10-15 mm, while the maximum for electrodes can reach 25 mm;
• rubberized covers and lining protect against shock. The cable must have double insulation. When the model is selected, pay attention to the length of the network cord - it should be at least 5 meters. This will significantly increase the ergonomics of the instrument;
• adjusting the remote force may be smooth, like the Metabo Ta M 3034 model or step, like SPARKY T 14;
• the stapler must be equipped with fuses from random sloping, controlling the mechanism for the frequency, depth sensors;
• it is quite useful to have a stapler with a device for removing fasteners, if the error did not enter the bracket;
• for more durable fixation, there are models equipped with a mechanism with the simultaneous administration of two brackets;
• the rate of fireplate is characterized by an indicator of the maximum number of pulses for a certain period of time. In the semi-professional models, this figure is 20-30 shots per minute, so if it is not enough for you, it is necessary to work faster, it is worth thinking about acquiring more rapid models;
• if you have purchased a battery stapler, pay attention to the battery capacity, as well as the speed of its complete charge. Of course, Ideally would buy a second (replaceable) power unit to work smoothly. Some models are equipped with two batteries, for example, Makita BST220RFE. They cost more expensive, but also the benefits are obvious.

The disadvantages include dependence on the power grid. Some decide this question with the help of batteries, but then the weight of the tool becomes more. But if you know how to choose a building stapler without flaws, our help you are hardly needed. Therefore, many, despite the small inconvenience, and otherwise they won't call them, inclined in the purchase of precisely electrical staplers. Judge yourself - amazing performance, thousands of veins fasteners from one battery charge, work with thick long brackets and durable materials ... In addition, what is one and a half or two kilograms of weight for a real hardworking builder?

Pneumatic

The pneumatic stapler works from compressed air. This is the most powerful type of tacks, "long-range relatives" of which are machines that score pins in steel and concrete.

The mechanism of pneumatic models is deprived of the main spring, and the main work is performed by a pneumatic cylinder. It is fed to it from the pneumatic distributor, which can be controlled by pedal (stationary models) or a juro (manual models).

With all the simplicity of design, it is distinguished by enviable durability and phenomenal power. The service is limited only to periodic cleaning and lubrication.

The only mandatory condition is the presence of compressed air, and for this you will need a compressor. Pneumatic staplers are mainly used on large and medium industries and extremely rare them can be found as a home instrument - it is too powerful in all respects.

For pneumatics, a semi-professional compressor with a receiver for 20-25 liters is quite suitable, which will cost about $ 200. For a small construction site or, for example, a private furniture workshop it will be the best option.

But that distinguishes pneumatic staplers, it is extraordinary rapidity. An ordinary taker can drive one bracket per second, which is several times faster than the most sophisticated electrical analog.

It may seem that with the abundance of such characteristics, the weight of such a stapler will be more than electric, but no - pneumatics a little harder to mechanical models (near a kilogram). Together with a high frequency of scabing, it allows you to work as quickly as possible, long and efficiently.

How much is the construction staple directly depends on its type, and the selected view depends on your needs. If you are looking for a reliable assistant in domestic needs and cosmetic repair, inexpensive mechanical models at your service. With this task, the common model of the building stapler bison will perfectly cope, the cost of which varies from 350 to 400 rubles. We need a taker for visiting works or the construction of a private house - skip the electrician. They conceived to open their construction workshop, then you should spend money on a high-quality pneumatic "comrade".
