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.

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

Re: Staple Gun
Go to a DIY store and buy these, just need a hammer. I used these.

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

Re: Staple Gun
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.
