Electric staple guns are used for many different decorating jobs in and around the home, like upholstering furniture, securing wall coverings (textile wallpapers, insulating materials etc.), securing paper or foil (posters) and attaching soft wood and boards (base panels, chipboard back walls of cupboards etc.).
An impact control dial wheel – if the electric staple gun has one – lets you adjust the impact strength for different materials. Generally, a high impact is recommended for harder materials (such as hard wood), and a lower impact for softer materials (such as soft wood). The best setting also depends on the length of the staples or nails you are using.
The size of the staples and nails you can use depends on the specific electric staple gun. Always read the packaging carefully to make sure the staples or nails are suitable for your electric staple gun.
