Morning all,

I have a WorkZone staple gun but can't seem to find replacement staples online (without buying the whole package). Does anybody know where I can get hold of these, specifically, or a workable alternative (8 x 11.3 x 1.2mm) from another maker?

Lining for planters and netting protection for the veggies is about to grind to a halt!!!  :(

    Thanks D-fab. I'm slightly worried that the other dimensions might not be exactly the same but the linked gun does look similar. At £3.30 I can probably just about afford to take a punt.

    I sometimes had difficulty getting staples for mine, and found perfect ones in the cheapo shop Home Bargains, so it might be worth trying them. The ones we used at work were too shallow, although they were the right width. Worth trying ebay too.
    Different types of gun - always a problem  :)
     
    Sorry - I can't remember what type of gun I have.

    Search Amazon for Fixman 470282 10J Galvanised Staples 11.2 x 8 x 1.16mm Pack of 5000. It should return a listing which mentions compatibilty with Workzone stapler.
