Briscon SN-40-5M Low Carbon Steel Cable Staples, 1/2" x 1", 5,000-Count Bucket

The Briscon SN-40-5M is a 5,000-count bucket of Briscon's 1/2" wide by 1" long low carbon steel cable staples. It is a cable staple, not a connector: each staple is hammered over the cable to fasten it to studs, joists and other wood framing. The SN-40 holds 14/2 and 14/3 armored (AC) cable, 14/2 and 14/3 metal clad (MC) cable, 14/2 through 10/3 non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable, and 14/2 and 12/2 underground feeder (UF) cable. A recessed head protects the cable jacket and sharp, burr free legs drive straight without splitting the wood. Made in the USA.
