An important hand tool, incredibly easy to work with the installation and fixing of elements of building structures, is widely recognized as a stapler. A simple design in combination with comfortable work ensures the fastening of cardboard and synthetic film. Lightweight and mobile staplers compete in ease of use with a solid professional tool. Budget and expensive models sometimes mislead the builder. Tips for experts on the choice of tools will be welcome.

Building stapler
The appearance of a stapler in our life is due to the invention of Christian Berger, who patented the "stapler" in 1997. As it should be, the device of the 90's, "Device for mechanically binding documents" slowly and insecurely took root among people.
The first to pay attention to Device, were office workers, famously and with pleasure flapping on the handle of the device for fastening documentation in the process of work.
But the energy accumulated in the invention, like the mechanics of the springs of the stapler, has triggered the triggering mechanism, and today we have a multifunctional tool called a construction stapler. Unlike their junior clerical colleagues, the models of the construction stapler are diverse and impressive.
From a nondescript device, the specter has become a necessary tool for a wide range of applications.
The construction stapler is used for:
• fixing the wire mesh and thin web material
• Rapid strengthening of thin structural elements
• fixing the communication cable.
Naturally, to buy a stapler building is not a problem, the main thing is to choose it correctly. On what parameters and how to choose a stapler for work?
Varieties of construction stapler
The principle of the device arrangement, including the furniture stapler, is identical and is based on the operation of a shock mechanism with a tight coiled spring (torsion spring or flat spring).
According to the method of platoon spring mechanism distinguish types of staplers:
• mechanical action
• electric
• pneumatic.
To make the right choice, examine the features and operation principle of the stapler, as well as the desirability of purchasing expensive electric and pneumatic models.
choose the tool correctly
Mechanical stapler
In the stapler, the construction mechanical working link is a spring that is flexed by muscular force by means of an external lever. The mechanics of such a device is simple and consists in releasing the spring by the lever in the extreme position, which unbends and acts on the mating part that clogs the clamp or pin from the cage. The link for the next staple is releasing the lever.
Recall that the type of mechanism of the stapler depends on the type of spring. A twisted torsion spring requires more effort when working with the tool. Plate or spring springs are used in professional models. To neutralize the impact of the force on the handle, the damping pads are used.
So, the staple gun bison stapler in the case of a steel alloy designed to fix low-voltage cables ø 3-4.5 mm to light surfaces. The system of plate springs guarantees a strong impact capacity of a mechanical stapler for clogging of staples 9-11 mm with a reduced level of recoil and sound.
Helpful Tips
Mechanical staplers are a low-cost version of the tool, however, it is recommended to choose a model whose dismountable body is fastened with a screw connection. This will ensure a quick disassembly of the instrument with minor malfunctions and preventive cleaning. The material of the mechanical stapler must be strong. Preference should be given to steel enclosures or with a coating of nickel, chrome or powder coating. Technological performance of a mechanical instrument emphasizes a small noise and low recoil.
Electric stapler
It is noted that the electric stapler has an extended set of options due to the elastic spring mechanism of the torsion spring and the impact force at the output. This allows the use of an electric stapler for harder and denser work surfaces. It is known that the best characteristic of electric models are the conditional number of pulses for a certain time, which are necessary for carrying out shots by the bracket. In the models, this parameter is 25-35 rounds shots / min.
In addition, electrical models are able to work with any configuration of clamps and their loading from any plane of feed from the striker. It is recommended to choose a tool with increased insulation of the electric motor and the cord of the electric electric, reaching 5 m. For example, electrostapper Novus J-105 EADHG with Upt. 230 V is a universal tool for decorative fastening works with staples or nails of common sizes 11.3 / 10.6 / 2 mm with shape A, D / H, G / E.
Electronic regulation of the force and depth of impact provides the optimal choice of operating mode. In addition, the tool is equipped with a stop, release function and a comfortable grip. The long working part of the stapler, the feed tracking line and the number of staples, a four-meter cable, as well as non-slip rubberized handles allow you to work in hard-to-reach places quickly and efficiently.
A variation of the electric stapler are battery tools manufactured by the industry with Li -io batteries and a working voltage of 18V. The most popular battery tool is considered bosch stapler 3.6 V and special clamps.
Helpful Tips
Staples for the stapler characterize the operational parameters: the material of manufacture, the size and the presence of sharpening of the ends, which draw attention to when choosing. Recall that the staples for the construction stapler I make of brass and steel, you can distinguish the type of material by color.
The standard sizes are 10, 14, 24/6, 24/8, 26/6 and 26/8,
where 24 is the staple number, 8 is the length of the stalk.
The sharpened ends of the staples make it easier for the fasteners to enter the surface. The best is considered a U-shaped bracket with a classic double-sided sharpening of the legs.
The hardware glued unit should be of a homogeneous structure without cracks and do not disintegrate before the process begins. External glue strip is applied on one side.
An expensive professional tool is considered pneumatic Stapler, working on which produce large amounts of upholstery and sewing. For the installation of pneumatics, you will also need to use an expensive and bulky compressor. The payback of the acquisition of such a tool is long.
Therefore, professional staplers are used in industrial plants or in construction.
