Gardner Bender Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Staple Gun - MSG-301 - Low Voltage

MKES: I have used both the Arrow T25 and this Gardner Bender MSG-301. Both work fine. The MSG-301 is less prone to crush down hard on Ethernet wires. It pins them well but leaves a little breathing room compared to the Arrow. This can come in handy – allowing the wire to slide in order to add or remove slack after it’s been stapled. If you prefer a super tight hold, where the staple crushes into the wire a fair amount, then the Arrow is for you.

Philico: Unlike many other brands of its type, the stapling action on this one is well-balanced and requires less grip strength which is important when you have a big job to finish. Its design makes it difficult to ruin cables when you staple them.

wizdomseeker: Bought this with the staples. I found that it worked great! I was able to secure cables to trim or anything with not problem VERY quickly over a hammer and cable holder clips and it looked nice and neat. Time is money and this cuts time in less than half.

Super Toaster: The design of these staples makes it impossible to accidentally pierce a wire while stapling. My T25 stapler worked reliably but would regularly shoot staples through cables that were close to 1/4" in diameter, ruining the entire wire run and costing me hours of labor. These staples are relatively discrete while still doing a good job tacking the cables in place. Especially useful for exposed cabling along trim, on telephone poles, etc. I just wish they made stainless steel staples.

RACHAEL SLIVKA: Item arrived quickly, but was packaged in a padded envelope. Due to the weight of the item, it should have been packaged in a box. The clamshell packaging had split at one end, but thankfully the stapler was not damaged.

Be aware that the stapler does not come with any staples. I had already purchased the staples I wanted to use from a local Home Depot. I did not read the instructions and loaded the staples from the rear of the staple guide. This was wrong and the stapler did not work. Doh! After reading the instructions, I realized that you need to load the staples in front of the staple guide. In simple terms...
- turn the stapler upside down
- slide out the staple guide/holder
- drop in the staples
- slide in the staple guide/holder.

After loading the basic Metal round cables staples, i did some testing on cat5/cat 6 cables.
On cat5e the staple went in well into hard wood and drywall. The staple did not pinch the cable and there was enough of a gap that you could slide the cable under the staple
On cat6 the staple was tight on the cable but it was not pinching the cable. You would not be able to slide the cable so make sure to not leave any...
