Staple Gun
 

Can anyone show me what would be the best type of staple gun to staple cables to the wall like Virgin and Sky use?

I wish to run some Ethernet ports out to my home extension.

Thanks.

I'd just use standard cable clips, less chance of damaging the cables with them.

This is the one Virgin use (the buy them from this company too):

Go to a DIY store and buy these, just need a hammer. I used these.

Whatever you buy, you need to be careful not to crush the cable, that staple gun looks the biz

im not gonna put pressure on it.

The reason i cannot use the tacks with the hammer is since my two strokes...
1. i dont have that much hand to eye co ordination and could end up with an injury.
2. I dont think i could hold or put much power behind the hammer.

Before you buy then goto a DIY sore and try, some have a strong spring that might require more pressure than you can supply.
