Using a purpose made tool will help you do the job more efficiently, quickly and more safely.

Here are a few tips

• Work systematically: Start at one end of the fence line and move steadily to avoid missing staples.
• Use leverage, not force: Excessive force can crack posts or bend staples, making removal harder.
• Batch process: For large fences, remove all staples first, then address wire tensioning or replacement separately.
• Preserve wire tension: If the wire is still under tension, secure it to an adjacent post with a temporary staple or tie to prevent it from springing loose.
• Check for corrosion: Rusty staples are harder to remove and may indicate wire degradation, so inspect the wire closely.
• Seasonal considerations: In wet conditions, wood may be softer, making staples easier to remove but posts more prone to damage. In dry conditions, hardwood posts may resist prying.

Simply pre-load the magazine and use the automatic feed to fasten your wire one handed.

We offer our own brand hog rings and fasteners as well as Rapid VR22 pliers and staples.

When choosing replacement staples for your Fencing Staple Gun there are a few things to consider:

What type of gun do you have? The majority of gas powered staplers take a staple of 3.10mm (3.15) width. Also popular are staplers that fire staples of 4.0mm width. They are not compatible. Choose either 4.0mm or 3.15mm width.

What length staple should you choose? We offer 3.15 in 25mm/33mm or 40mm lengths, and 4.0 in 40mm or 50mm lengths.

Your 4.0 Stapler requires expensive proprietary branded staples. No longer true. We offer 4.0 staples for Stockade, and, with our adaptors, for two other major branded 4.0 Staplers.

Cordless? Is there an alternative to Milwaukee? Yes. Consider our Freeman LD400 cordless staple gun. Popular the world over.

The best way to fasten wire to a fence post depends on the type of wire, fence post material (wood, metal, or vinyl), and the intended purpose of the fence (e.g., livestock, security, or decoration).

For most standard fencing (e.g., barbed or woven wire on wooden posts), fence staples are the best option due to their simplicity, strength, and affordability.

For high-tension fences, ensure fastenings allow slight movement to avoid wire breakage

Hammer the staple over the wire into the post, ensuring it’s snug but not so tight that it damages the wire or restricts movement (especially for tensioned wires).

The Milwaukee Enhanced Rail Adapter for the M18 Fuel Utility Fencing Stapler is a robust accessory designed to optimize staple capacity and efficiency in demanding fencing applications, such as securing wire to posts or rails on farms and ranches. Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, it adds less than 1 lb to the tool's weight while increasing staple capacity by 66% to hold up to 75 9-gauge galvanized staples, reducing reload frequency and boosting productivity during extended jobs. The enhanced rail features an easier loading design for quick, hassle-free magazine refills, compatible with Milwaukee's stripped staples (1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2") and other brands via the adapter, ensuring versatility without compromising performance. Its seamless integration with the stapler's POWERSTATE brushless motor and REDLINK intelligence maintains reliable firing rates up to 600 staples per charge, while the corrosion-resistant build withstands harsh outdoor conditions.

Use with either of our compatible ST 4.0mm staples.
