Staples are used daily across framing, electrical installation, fencing, packaging, and finishing work where fast, repeatable fastening is required. From securing cable and sheathing to upholstery and agricultural projects, the correct staple ensures consistent holding power without slowing down production. Our staples selection includes electrical staples, N17 staples, fencing staples, upholstery staples, 1/4″ crown staples, and a wide range of crown sizes designed for compatibility with pneumatic and cordless staplers.
Choosing the right staple profile helps prevent pull-out, reduce tool jams, and maintain clean, reliable fastening across different materials.
Different staple styles support specific jobsite tasks.
Electrical staples, often called insulated cable staples, secure wiring while protecting insulation from damage.
N17 staples, sometimes referred to as 7/16″ staples, are widely used for sheathing, framing, and structural fastening.
Fencing staples support agricultural and perimeter work where wire must remain securely fixed to wood posts.
Upholstery staples provide clean fastening for fabric, panels, and interior finishing.
1/4″ crown staples and other crown sizes are commonly used for sheet goods, trim, cabinetry, packaging, and light assembly.
Matching crown width, leg length, and coating to the application improves performance and longevity.
Selecting staples begins with tool compatibility and material thickness.
Crown width affects surface contact and holding strength.
Leg length determines penetration depth and pull-out resistance.
Coatings help prevent corrosion in outdoor or treated lumber applications.
Collation type must match the stapler to ensure consistent feeding.
Many trades keep multiple sizes available to avoid workflow interruptions when material conditions change.
Reliable staples reduce downtime by improving feed consistency and fastening quality. Bulk packaging supports high-volume work while maintaining consistent dimensions that help prevent misfires and jams.
Because staples are frequently consumed on active jobsites, crews often keep inventory on hand or restock between stops to maintain productivity and avoid delays.
Staples are commonly used alongside pneumatic and cordless staplers, fasteners, and sheathing materials across framing, electrical, fencing, and finishing work. Contractors often source these items together to maintain workflow consistency and reduce downtime when moving between tasks.
Contractor Cave is located in Woodstock, Ontario just minutes off Highway 401, making it easy for contractors and trades to restock staples between job sites across Southwestern Ontario. Crews travelling through London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, and the western GTA can access electrical staples, crown staples, fencing staples, upholstery staples, and bulk fastening supplies without detouring far from the highway.
N17 staples are commonly used for sheathing, framing, and structural fastening where strong holding power and consistent spacing are required.
Crown size depends on the material and application. Narrow crowns are typically used for trim and finishing, while wider crowns provide increased holding strength for sheet goods and assembly.
Yes. Electrical staples are designed to secure cable without damaging insulation and often include shaped or insulated guides.
Outdoor and treated lumber applications benefit from coated or galvanized staples to resist corrosion and maintain holding strength.
Staples must match the stapler’s crown width, leg length range, and collation type. Checking tool specifications helps prevent feeding issues and misfires.
