FreemanFS9G2 9-Gauge 2" Glue Collated Barbed Fencing Staples (1000 Count) Rust and Corrosion Resistant for Fencing and Outdoor Use

Staples were good quality galvanized product .

The staples seem of decent quality, not great , but decent. The problem is the box just completely falls apart once you open it , so it sucks to use to store the staples in. The glue that holds the strips together is basically wax. If you bounce or drop the box you’ll have a box full of broken strips and loose staples.

Big and deep.

Ordered these for my Freeman PFS9 fence stapler. I store the collated staples in a small plastic ammo can to keep them clean, dry and from coming apart.The GOOD - The Freeman 2 inch staples are about 50% less than the cost of the Stock-ade 2 inch staples. The box and staples arrived in good condition. None of the sticks of staples were broken apart. Both the Freeman and Stock-ade 9 gauge staples that I have have the same shape. The Freeman and Stock-ade 2 inch 9 gauge staples are basically the same lenght. The Freeman might be 1/32 inch shorter. These should work in the 9 gauge Stock-ade ST-400, Freeman PFS9, Powermate VX FS2P and Iron Horse 90429 staplers.The BAD - The Freeman staples are described above as having " a barbed, divergent tip", whatever that is. The box as states these are "Barbed Fencing Staples." The Freeman divergent tips have a slight notch on one side and a matching slight bulge on the other side, probably from the cutting operation. The box I received did not have barbed shanks or legs. The Stock-ade staples have divergent tips with a barb on each shank or leg.OTHER - The Freeman are glue collated and the Stock-ade are tape collated.

These are big and powerful. Do not use to keep two pieces of paper together. Way overkill for that. I used on a fence and they worked great. I also shot my friend in the thigh and it did major tissue and nerve damage so try not to do that. It was funny as hell though.
