• Galvanized finish: The galvanized coating helps resist rust and corrosion for use in varied environments and adds longevity to stored staples.
• Wide compatibility: Designed for 1/4-in narrow crown stapler guns, these staples fit a range of electric and pneumatic tools when the gun accepts 18 gauge 1/4-in crowns.

Who It's For
