What are Medium Wire Staples?
Medium wire staples, typically 18-19 gauge, are fasteners used for materials requiring moderate holding strength, such as upholstery, paneling, and cabinetry. Their gauge (wire diameter) is thicker than fine wire staples (20-23 gauge) but thinner than heavy wire staples (15-16 gauge). Featuring chisel-shaped or divergent points for enhanced grip, they are ideal for applications like siding, fencing, and floor underlayment.
