When do you use a hammer tacker?
A hammer tacker is indispensable when you need to fix staples quickly and powerfully into wood, insulation material or other soft surfaces. You mainly use this tool for roofing work, insulation, upholstery and fixing membranes or mesh. The PRO R311 combines the power of a hammer with the precision of a staple gun.

Why choose flat wire staples type 140?
This hammer tacker works exclusively with flat wire staples type 140, which are characterised by their flat shape and strong grip. Flat wire staples distribute the force more widely across the material, so they are less likely to tear or puncture than round wire staples. This makes them ideal for delicate materials such as vapour barrier foil or thin insulation.

Flexibility in staple length
The PRO R311 accepts staples from 6 to 12 mm in length, giving you plenty of flexibility across different projects. Shorter 6 mm staples are used for thin materials such as foil, while the 12 mm staples are suitable for thicker layers of insulation or for fixing material to thicker wood. This range covers most DIY and construction situations.

Practical tip for use
Always make sure you have enough type 140 flat wire staples in stock, as other staple types will not fit this hammer tacker. The steel construction of the PRO R311 requires regular maintenance – keep the hinge points clean and lightly lubricate them for optimal performance. When buying staples, make sure you order specifically type 140 flat wire staples in the length you need.
