Draper Type 140 Hammer Tacker 13807

Some fixing jobs are not about delicate trigger control. They are about speed, rhythm and consistent placement across a large area. The Draper 13807 Type 140 Hammer Tacker is built for those tasks. Used with a striking action, it drives staples as the tool contacts the surface, making it faster than a conventional hand stapler for broad fixing work.

This style of tacker is commonly used for carpet underlay, insulation material, roofing felt, vapour barrier, sheeting, upholstery preparation and packaging tasks. It accepts Type 140 staples from 6mm to 10mm, allowing the user to choose staple depth according to the material thickness and the backing surface. Staples are supplied separately, so the correct size should be selected before starting the job.

The high-carbon steel body gives the tool the strength needed for workshop, site and fitting work. A soft grip handle helps the user maintain control during repeated strikes, and the quick loading design keeps downtime low when a strip of staples is used up. The single-handed action is useful when material needs to be held in place with the other hand, although hands should always stay clear of the strike path.

For a cleaner result, keep the material flat and under light tension before stapling. Test on a small offcut or hidden area first, especially with upholstery or thin sheet materials. Wear eye protection, confirm the backing can accept staples safely and avoid using the tacker near hidden cables, pipework or fragile surfaces. For repeat work, keep spare compatible staples with the tool so the job is not interrupted halfway through a run.
