      It is more about the staple then the gun... they make staples for cable that have a bend in them so it doesn't pinch the cable.

          That is a better way... what I also do is use velcro screwed to the wall to hold cables.

            do you have an amazon link for curve staple? this seems much easier than carrying a hammer and nail clips.

                No, you do not want a T50. The T50 is generally only a flat headed staple.

                You typically use a T25 for this. But you said Heavy duty? That might be too big for a T25. So in that case, I am not certain.

                    The T25 is 7/16" | 11mm

                      If the T25 is too small I would look at using coax nail in staples like this.

                        Or step all the way to NM staples.

                            Only 8 years as a professional installer.

                            I may have specialized in building access control systems (all computerized) but I still had to do other stuff.

                                NM staples are the way to go. They last forever and are really easy to install.
