Arrow T59 Heavy Duty Staple Gun for Data & Voice Cables - Durable

In this review the Arrow T59 Heavy Duty Staple Gun is evaluated for installers and DIYers who need a reliable way to fasten low-voltage wiring. The bottom line: this rear-load cable stapler is best for running CAT5/CAT6, coax, phone and other communication cables because it secures insulated fasteners without crimping and includes a grooved wire guide to prevent cable damage. Reviewers will appreciate the Made in the USA construction and the comfort grip for repetitive work, making it a practical choice where cable security and speed matter.

Key Features

• Rear-load magazine: The magazine accepts insulated T59 staples quickly and keeps reloading simple on long cable runs.
• Fits multiple cable sizes: Works with insulated staples sized 1/4 in x 1/4 in, 1/4 in x 5/16 in and 5/16 in x 5/16 in to secure wires up to 5/16 in diameter.
• Grooved wire guide: The integrated guide tracks the cable for accurate placement and helps prevent pinching or crushing during stapling.
• Chrome steel housing: Chromed steel body and hardened working parts deliver durability for jobsite use and repeated cycles.
• Comfort grip handle: The rubberized short-span handle reduces hand strain and makes continuous stapling more manageable.
• Uses genuine T59 staples: Designed to work exclusively with Arrow T59 insulated fasteners for consistent performance.

Who It's For

The T59 is aimed at network installers, AV technicians and competent DIYers who frequently run low-voltage cable such as CAT5/CAT6, RG6/RG9 coax, phone and intercom lines. It is practical for projects where speed and avoiding damaged insulation are priorities, such as wall-to-wall runs in basements, attics or along trim.

It is less suitable for heavy-duty framing or wood construction that requires larger, structural staples; users who need a stapler for a wide range of non-insulated fasteners should look for a different model. Also, buyers should expect to use genuine Arrow T59 insulated staples to achieve proper fit and holding power.
