Can I use Swingline staples with this unit? Thank You

The issue is not the staple brand, but sizes. I've tried other brands with it and they worked just fine.

Yes, they'll work fine. Just make sure you don't use standard staples (0.25 in / 6mm) with this unit.

No, this is a heavy duty stapler; key to use is to staple all the way when you begin by one rapid movement do not half staple or stapler could jam; you will stop using your swingline & bostich staplers

WOW looks like you just made it! Yes you can but you will have to use 1-1/4 staples for this. You can call me if you like. (917) 804-4254 I am a professional installer still active in the field. Let me know if you have any more questions about the job, nailer, its all good. Im there for everything. AXKANE

I don't know for sure but I do these staples are not strong at all. I probably wasted about 1/4 of them just trying to hit them into regular sod ground. They bend so easily that I constantly had to start with a new one at a different angle.

This fastener does not use staples, it uses standard corrugated fasteners. I've only used Air Locker corrugated fasteners and they work fine if you use long strips. If you put short pieces in the fastener it jams.

I use staples for mine, you may want to look into buying carpet tape. That tape is usually stronger.

HI ! Yes they will. I used the same standard staples, Actually It will use 2 of them each time and it works just fine.

I really don't know, but I will say this: I have numerous different staplers and have tried to use staple from one brand stapler in other staplers that looked like they should fit and even though the staples would fit into the stapler, they would jam and not work properly. It was very frustrating to have every other staple jam in the machine and have to take the time to pry it out. I say just from past experience, it really is best to have the proper staples for the machine you have.

I wouldn't depend on the staples to stay up for any length of time with the light duty version. Especially if the material you are stapling to is an exterior wood beam or thick siding (it wouldn't pierce the side of a vinyl storage bin which is why I purchased mine to affix a laminated label of the contents). Sorry if this wasn't the answer you were hoping for!

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

I use the Optima Premium staples - (35556) because they work well for the 45 sheet stapling capacity. I have not tried the standard staples.

Your 15.5 gauge staples will work but remember it has to be 1/2 in width too.

No, but the staples I purchased for the stapler are Swingline S.F.4 Premium Staples.

I don't know if they will fit that particular stapler; but I have Swingline's 800 # so youwould be able to call and inquire. It is 1 800 820- 6220. Hope this helps!Ogieyoungnhip

I do not have direct experience using these staples but if you are talking about something like an "invisible fence" then there should not be a problem using these staples. What is more an issue might be the management of the grounds where you place the wire and staples. These staples are heave prone from winter thaw cycles and thus if they are not reset they might be an obstruction if placed in a lawn.

I believe that's the same one we have that we ordered these staples for. It's an old model and I could not find the right staples for it at any retail store, including independent hardware stores. Glad I was able to find them online and they worked!

Swingline recommends their S.F. 4 premium staples however the stapler jammed on the first time I used it.Unable to fix it myself so I returned it. I wouldn't recommend this stapler because of it's problem with jamming even using their recommended staples.
