Not impressed ferg, to be honest.How did it work out with the single size of staple for smaller cables?

Not to hand no, that's why I said in my opinion...Would need convincing about that Strima do you have any pictorial evidence
Drag it out of me what do you mean? I'll lay it out as I see it then, Personally I don't like them. I think they take the skill out of presenting a neat job, I'm all for advancement, but in this case I don't agree, OK for house bashing I suppose, but for a prestige job, no thank you very much, I think cables can be damaged if used in the wrong hands, OK for clipping a few cables in the training workshop as an example, but in the real world no thanks, you can't beat a killed tradesman using traditional skills, if I have laid myself open to abuse then so be it, can't be any more explicit than that can I? I hate the things, end of.Lol Pete give me a clue.. don't make me drag it out of you.

Turn it 90 degrees....... and try harder......It arrived today while I was out hammering in boxes of clips that no-one will ever see or care about.
On the plus side I had a little play with it and it will do just nicely for lofts and stuff not on show.
I tried my best to damage a cable with it and failed miserably
I also have one I procured when I was still an apprentice. Mine also does a lovely neat job of stapling through the cable sheath and causing difficult to find faults unless you're very very careful whilst you're using it.I have a little hand stapler for telephone/alarm cable... makes a lovely neat job of tacking along skirtings etc...
Cheaper from CEF.The DeWalt staples are £14.99 for 540 at Screwfix (who have started to stock them recently). I guess you would use more though as you would probably be using them for the whole run.
I have one. Use it quite a bit as its good for clipping 6mm and 10mm in garages.
Smaller size cables can be a but loose it holds up rather than grips. Tap with hammer and metal clips then go tight.
I run lots of 6mm cables in my jobs and it saves time.
