Questions & Answers
I was wondering if you had anything in your listing for especially the blue insulated or any other staple to be used as an anchor point for a 21s cable tie to support a bundle of nm cables. I know that a great many electricians use them this way successfu
What are the dimensions from flat edge to the point and from one point to the other point?
Very good question. Why that wouldn’t be a very important spec to include is beyond comprehension.
What's the inner dimension, between the two "posts"? I'm assuming 9/16" is the outer dimension.
Are these staples designed to hold 2 stacked Romex cables?
Can you use a hammer on these Staples?
Yes, yiu may use a hammer on this product, however do not hammer the staple so tight that it damages the insulation in the wire. Mike
Works with 10/3 wire ?
Are they approved for use in pressure treated wood?
Hey Bob, you'd need to get confirmation from local code just to be sure but staples used in pressure treated wood need to be stainless steel. These do not meet those requirements, though we do have stainless steel staples in our Briscon staple line(SN40BSS25 and SN40IBSS20). Hope this helps!

You can't, they're manually installed the good old fashion way with a hammer, and sore thumbs
