I am looking to staple 10-3 romex cable to some joists in my basement. The wire is slightly less than 1/2" diameter, will this work

Not really. The staples it uses are not wide enough or substantial enough to secure Romex. I use it for insulation, building wrap, etc.

You need to use romex electrical cable staples. this will definitely won't work, nor would to be safe

If the wood is not hard and you find long enough staples it may work. It is a powerful stapler but it looks like you are taking it to the limit

read the extensive review done by www.the wire cutter . Com that should have your answer

Yes, this will easily work with 3/8 cable. Groove diameter is over 1/2 " so it will work with even larger cables.

For speaker wire I'd use something other than staples. You don't want to risk puncturing the wire. But if you insist, then yes. This will do the job.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.

Good question. I can tell you it will not accodate standard 14 gauge soild copper wiring. if you are using this in your house you will need to connect a smaller gauge wire to the romex wiring. the connection terminals are very small on the supply side

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

I have used it on up to 1/8" steel wire, and it takes a little effort there. I don't think this would be the ideal tool for master locks-you'd probably want to get a bit beefier for that.

Thank you for your interest in our products. For the 3/16" size, the thread length is 3 1/2" and for the 1/8" size, the length is 3 1/8". The only restriction is our warning that these fittings are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes, but are intended for use in architectural railing systems. Customers do use these fittings in a variety of applications and properly swaged fittings can approach the breaking strength of the wire rope, but is dependent on many factors. To be assured a cable assembly will meet a certain working load, you would need to go to a rigging company to proof test the assembly. Thanks Eric 888-686-7245

Yes it will work fine. Just stay away from the Staples brand because the wire is narrower than Swingline and will jam most of the time. I use Swingline.

probably another 2" line would work a 2" ratchet is bolted on one end. A 1" line would probably not work . If the line is too stretchy it might not work either.

no it won't. I tried 1/8" and whoever said it would work should be shot. I ended up buying the 5/32" wire. Hope this helps.

It might work but I don't think that it would be as strong. The key is the two prongs that would grip the joist below. I'm not sure if they are long enough to give you a strong hold. Sorry, can't give you a better answer than that. But if you need a calculated guess, I'd buy it if I were in your shoes. Amazon is great for returns if it doesn't work out for you.

Depends on how thick the cable is. If it is like the flat speaker cable then just be careful to not puncture the cable. It is a nice stapler.

I have one and used it to staple in hardwood oak flooring. My flooring was 1/2" by 1.5". I used the Senco 1/4" by 1" staples (18 gauge) and never had a single problem. For the money, and ease of use, this nailer/stapler did the job perfectly! I did some research beforehand, as to which was better and held better- nails or staples. Staples hold better than nails

Yes, it will works. I used .110" dia. wire and the anchor support it no problem. The anchor can support from 8-12 gauge wire which is .080" to .0125".

I think it will. I used to to staple carpet to a 3/4 inch plywood board. They went through without a problem.
