Just need a basic staple gun to tack up speaker wire off the floor. Will this one work for that purpose yes or no?

Yes, this staple gun would easily do that. And much more, it is very heavy duty. We stapled right into our wooden fence to hang up lights. Hope this helps! I highly recommend it!

For speaker wire I'd use something other than staples. You don't want to risk puncturing the wire. But if you insist, then yes. This will do the job.
1177125
Yes it's a normal mechanical staple gun. I had a duo-fast before this one and it constantly jammed up on me. This one is much better.
1177126
Yes. Fyi:For this purpose my preference would be to use a glue gun as it will not interfere with your audio frequency.

If you got regular drywall, this stapler should do it. It is NOT a heavy duty stapler, though.
1177128
Yes. Fyi: For this purpose my preference would be to use a glue gun as it will not interfere with your audio frequency.

Not the best tool for stapling wires since it will cut through the insulation. You should use a wire stapler which uses staples with a 'U' shape in the middle. OR you could try protecting the wire with a metal shield. or use hammer-in staples made for wire.

Look at arrow staples.this gun is not quite 1" gauge.Lowe's and home depot carry a good supply but you have to ask.Harbour Freight has a lo t of different staples.I had th the same problem but I got mine at Harbour Freight

As Jay C. Pohl said, "On a wooden subfloor." I would add that this stapler is lightweight and you would need to put significant pressure on the top so the staples shoot into the wood fully. Personally, I wouldn't recommend stapling down carpet. That's what tack-strips are for.

Yes it will work fine. Just stay away from the Staples brand because the wire is narrower than Swingline and will jam most of the time. I use Swingline.

That's the concept ...but it doesn't work for what I needed it for. Used in on a .223 cartridge with "NO CRIMP". Hit it probably 50 times. The only thing it managed to do is ding up my hardwood floor.

I used mine for coax cable and it works perfectly. The staple gun is heavy and well made. It also held the wire tight to molding, siding, wood and other materials i needed to tac to. It never pinched the wire.

I have used it on 12 gauge speaker wire, and although the coating on the wire was too gel-like to work well, it did get the job done. How well of a job it does depends on how much tension you are using (you turn a little nob with your fingers to adjust it) and what the coating of the wire is. I believe it could handle all the way up to 4 gauge wire.

That's exactly what I purchased this for, and it worked spectacularly. Had a cheap stapler before this one, and the cheap one regularly jammed and was a major PITA. I'm only a DIYer, but in the many (several thousand?) staples I've put in flooring, hanging insulation, installing trellis, and misc building projects I've not had a single jam. This is a _great_ stapler. I love using this stapler and am regularly finding new uses for it. Easy to use, the depth control works well, 1/4" stables are easy to find, hasn't jammed a single time(!!!). I suspect the rubber nose piece will need replacing eventually, but it's both light and seems to be very solidly built. That's exactly what I purchased this for, and it worked spectacularly.

Hi DeannaAs best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler.In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction".I suspect it will hold up fine for light work.Would you like to buy some staples?

Yes I use Bostitch all the time. They work great. You may have to change the nail plate on the gun to accommodate your flooring. Hold it up and see how it fits. Test fire a piece to see if it will work as is.

It will not shoot staples. Know what length staples you need and buy a gun that will shoot those. This gun shoots brads, a small size with a little head. Up to 2 inchs long. Small amount of holding power, but good for places that might split out.

No it sucks! !!!!!! Don't waste your time and money it will only hold a very thin speaker wire! !!!!!!!!

Either would work. I bought this and it has never given me any problems. Its sturdy and it does the job well, a breach cable would serve the same purpose though, maybe more effectivly so, because at that point you wouldnt even be able to load the weapon.

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

I don't think so! Because the front of it has a rounded shape to guide the wire. Also, it says "Low Voltage Wire Staple Gun". However, you can ask the seller too.

It's thin so a hand stapler will work fine . A air gun may be to powerful .i stapled a 50' fence section a few months ago... It's still standing.

This is unlikely due to the Stapler. I purchased this stapler to build one dozen acoustic panels for my home recording studio. I was building wooden frames wherein I can place insulation and hang them like pictures. To build the frames, I used "furring strips" from Lowes. I learned that at some parts of various strips, it was simply too tough for the staples to penetrate while in others there were no problems at all. Because I was building so many, I found it worth while to purchase an electric version of this. Even that was having difficulty punching in staples in some places. Notice though, that the 9/16" will still penetrate, but just twist after some depth. It might make sense to get shorter staples; but that is no guarantee -- depending on what you're building. That said, the most likely reason the staples don't sink in fully is the wood is too dense. Furthermore, make sure to put weight on the back of the stapler as you fire off staples.
