Customer Reviews for Gardner Bender 1/2 in. Polyethylene and Metal Insulated Staples - Blue (200-Pack)

Perfect staples for the old wood in my house, they are tough enough to be hammered into brittle wood without bending. The plastic strap is nice for protection as well. I use these with 12 and 14 gauge but they will work up to 10/3. These will rust if exposed to water.

They work just as they should

Does what you'd expect. Packaging is good and they are very sharp, which makes it easy to start them, at least in soft woods. However they did seem prone to bending. I was using them in an awkward corner, so my swing definitely contributed, but they'd often be used in awkward spots. On a side note, I was looking for screw-down zip ties and couldn't find any, then I thought I could use these to anchor down regular zip ties and it worked great.

I used these staples to run about 60' of 1/2" ID vinyl HVAC condensate line over our basement ceiling and outdoors. The size is perfect and now I have plenty of leftovers for additional projects.

These staples are basically unusable for anything harder than a standard Doug fir and they even bend easily in that. You can't use them for girders or micro lambs. The metal is so soft that it bends even if you hit it straight on. Not like the good old days where they actually used quality steel. This is cheap Steel find something different.

Worked as expected. Will use again.

very good and really protects the wire

Unless you have soft pine, these are completely useless. The legs are too long and they bend while trying to hammer them in. Big waste of money buying this junk.

its a nice staple for wider items than what fits into a staple gun.

They work fine. They work fine.

Worked wonderfully for what we needed it for.

Great, keeps wires tight without cutting insulators

Works great Little more Energy Get these In Tight space works well

Very heavy duty Need little more room Put these in.works good

Better for softer woods it didn’t drive in too good on the harder older wood

They work well. The don't cost too much. They are made in the USA.

The name is appropriate, they Bend way too easy. If they are going in to soft pine they are ok at best but going into fabricated wafer board I beams they bend so badly that they can’t be used.

I must have bought the wrong ones. It was nearly impossible to get them in cleanly. IMO they are too long and too thin.
