What is a Narrow Crown Stapler and Do You Need One?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have ever put together IKEA furniture, shelves other such pre-assembled furniture yourself, you may have noticed shelves almost fall apart until you put the back on. The back is thin and held together with small ring shank nails. Professional cabinet shops building custom, high-end furniture, use this method to add strength to their cabinet cases- they just use much better materials. They also don’t use ring shank nails. They use narrow crown staplers to attach the backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrow crown staplers are ideal to help assemble any part of cabinets and case-style furniture that won’t be seen such as attaching the backs. Drawing by “Fred the Oyster”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNarrow crown staplers are 1\/4-inch wide staples and range in length up to 1.5-inch long. They are great at holding across the grain on thin strips like lattice without splitting the wood. Because of their shape, they provide a lot of holding power if you go across the grain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, because of the small head size, narrow crown staples work well when installing decorative wall paneling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are There Wider Crown Staplers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now that we’ve introduced narrow crown staplers, what about wider crown models? Pros use medium crown staplers for attaching OSB or plywood siding, flooring, and roofing to houses. They come in 7\/16-inch or 1\/2-inch wide versions and use a thicker wire gauge (16 gauge). Narrow crown staplers use smaller 18 gauge staples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also get stockade fence staplers that fire either 3.155mm (10-1\/2ga) staples or 4mm (9ga) staples. These help secure stockade fencing to posts and are beloved by ranchers all across the world. If any tool benefits from battery-powered, cordless freedom, these tools fit the bill. If you can’t locate a battery-powered solution like the cordless fencing stapler, go for the Stockage ST400i fence stapler<\/a> which uses gas cartridges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
