Such a thing as a CT100 coax tacker
 

I'm looking for some kind of cable tacker that will do my CT100 coax, i
can find loads of CT100 staples but no mention of a CT100 gun, does
anyone know if such a thing is around I have tried eBay but most say no
it won't work but my only option can't be those nasty cable clips, can
they?

I've got something that has stapled everything I've thrown it at so far.
I'll see what it is when I get home. It's deffo cheap and cheerful, I
wouldn't have spent silly money on something like that. So far I've used
it for 'phone cables, ethernet cables, aerial extensions and whatever
you call the stuff that Virgin uses.

The one you want is a T25, with 9/16" staples.

In use tilt the gun forward slightly, then as you pull the trigger tilt
back. This is so the cable isn't deformed. Tilting forward is so the
staple doesn't go into the cable.

If you find you are repeatedly getting one leg of the staples into the
cable take them out of the gun and put them in the other way round.

This fixing method is OK for wood but not for plaster, mortar, dense
chipboard, etc.

Those are the same staples that I use, but my stapler is electric.

Thanks for the links Bill, I'll bung my order in later today (after I
have heard back from you), out of interest i presume this gun will do
simple bt phone cable as well any idea on what staples would be needed
for that as well.

That gun will do staples of different lengths but only ones that are 6mm
(approx) between legs.

If you have a look at the manufacturer's website you will get an idea of
other types available.

For anyone who prefers an electric one, mine's so old it isn't listed
any more, but it's pretty much this jobbie:

With this sort of stapler, if used without caution, isn't there the
possibility of the staple crushing the coax, and lowering its impedance
at that point? If so, then on long runs, if the stapling is done
'neatly' at regular intervals, there is some possibility of producing a
suck outs.

No idea - I'v never had a problem. There are alternate staple that have
a sort of cap across the top, maybe that's what they're for?

Do you use it to staple Rog's ears to the floor if he says 'lady'?
