which is a stronger staple, a 11 guage or a 15 guage?

11 Guage is thicker wire than 15 Ga . (sounds backwards, but that is how wire size is designated). So 11 is stronger, as long as it is made of similar material. I see that the question is with regard to the Easy Gardener Staples - I have used these for years, and find no better product out there.

In my experience a smaller guage is smaller than the higher number guage, however my experiende is in the medical field.. There stapes are shorter then the ones I am used to buying, I think thy are 6 inches long. They do the job and will probably last longer than the landscaping fabric.

I don't know for sure but I do these staples are not strong at all. I probably wasted about 1/4 of them just trying to hit them into regular sod ground. They bend so easily that I constantly had to start with a new one at a different angle.

I have no idea of a comparison to the 140 model. I have welded quite a bit of 18 gauge (with .030 wire) with ease and small amounts of thinner materials down to around .030 as I recall. It has been fabulous with everything I have tried. There is still about 25% of the voltage knob to turn down when I am at 18 gauge, and I would expect it would do fine. Sure I paid a bit for it, though I am 100% satisfied and glad I did.

18 gauge.Don't know why people answer with guesses. It's like guessing a fuse is 15 amps when it's really only 8 amps. Huge difference between 14 gauge and 18 gauge.

Ok this one has a 15 gauge needle, the larger the number for the gauge the thinner the needle will be so depending on how thin you want just go with a higher gauge number.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.

I use the Optima Premium staples - (35556) because they work well for the 45 sheet stapling capacity. I have not tried the standard staples.

If you scroll down the listing, under product description, the manufacturer lists this as 18 guage.

I've used 18 gauge and it was bulky. I found using a metal pin with coated pliers works a little better. I think its how strong your hands are.

According to Roberts' website: "Powerful, 15 amp solenoid delivers more power to drive staples deeper, 120 V." It is not rated for higher volts.

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

AS IT SAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION, 18 AWG, so they are 18 guage. These are made for pigtails --to use in tight spots, where big plugs crowd outlets---etc. These are not made for outdoor or heavy use. When I say pigtail, if you have a power strip with 5 outlets 1" apart, and you have a phone charger that is 2x2--it will obviously cover one of the outlets. SO---these will get it far enough away to allow you to use the other outlets on the powerstrip. That is about all they at 18 guage are for, things like chargers etc. Good luck!

I recommend 16 gauge, but if all you have is 18, that is OK. Don't use 20, and 14 is more than you need unless you're making a long run (more than two rooms).

there is one thats a little larger than that, but the one you describe 1A-30 is pretty much the standard used.

It depends what you're firing into. For typical upholstery work, I start out at around 80-90 psi. The stapler itself is rated 70 - 120 psi, I believe.

Your best bet is a 16 guage heavy duty cord. Now depending on the lenght of the cord, the manual may recommend a 14 guage. These cords btw, come in different colors.

With out getting too technical 12 agw is best 14agw will do and pass on 16agw. For the tech stuff see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gaugeHope this helps.
