Short Stainless Staples

[Norman_E]

I have a box of 6mm stainless staples to use in staple gun to refix some headlining. They fit my gun and they also fit an Arrow T50. In the aft heads the backing plywood is very thin and I really need 4mm staples but can only find stainless ones for smaller staplers (not a problem) but very expensive because they are sold 20,000 at a time, whereas I will probably be able to do all the work with 100 or two. I know I can get ordinary steel, allegedly galvanised but not of course on the edges that are exposed when the staples are used quite cheaply, but does anyone know of a source of small quantities of the stainless ones?

My 8mm ones came from ebay. Perhaps the same seller can provide shorter ones. I'll try to find the link.

I have bought Arrow stainless staples previously in small quantity from Axminster Tool - worth checking if they do the size you want.
