The Rapid No. 140 series solves this critical job site problem with its specialized flatwire construction. The flattened crown creates a significantly larger holding area against the surface material, distributing the pressure evenly. Whether you are fastening thin plastics, roof underlayment, cardboard, or heavy-duty carpets, these staples hold firm without compromising the integrity of your material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngineered for Precision and Durability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eBeyond their holding strength, these staples are built for efficient, jam-free operation. Manufactured with a heavy-duty galvanized finish, they offer excellent resistance against rust and corrosion. Furthermore, the precision-cut legs are specifically engineered to optimize material penetration, driving smoothly into tough timber without bending or misfiring, saving you both time and wasted

staples over standard fine-wire staples?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003eThe primary advantage is the surface holding area. Flatwire staples, like the Rapid No. 140, have a wider, flattened crown that distributes pressure across a larger area. This specifically prevents delicate materials—such as plastic sheeting, vapor barriers, and insulation—from tearing or ripping through when stapled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhich leg length (8mm, 10mm, or 12mm) should I choose for my project?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003eYour choice depends on the thickness of the material you are fastening. The 8mm staples are ideal for very thin plastics and cardboards. The 10mm staples are the standard for typical insulation foils and vapor barriers. The 12mm staples provide maximum depth and holding power, making them perfect for thicker materials like carpets and heavy upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAre these staples resistant to rust?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003eYes, they are highly resistant to rust. The Rapid No. 140 staples feature a high-quality galvanized finish, providing excellent protection against corrosion, which is essential when securing insulation or underlayment in potentially damp environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapid","offers":[{"title":"8mm","offer_id":47437884752034,"sku":"RS14082PP","price":18.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mm","offer_id":47437884784802,"sku":"RS140102PP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm","offer_id":47437884817570,"sku":"RS140122PP","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0415\/4667\/8434\/files\/imgi_3_Desktop__05A83CA4C04B32095348884B3605725F__500__ra_11908131_p2-3305b5c023fd04a71c9158b4ff59cf59.png?v=1784249467","url":"https:\/\/www.sigtools.co.nz\/es\/products\/rapid-no-140-galvanized-flatwire-staples-8mm-10mm-12mm-signature-tools","provider":"SIG Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
