[acrwc10]

Now thats a use for romex staples I hadn't thought of, but the price is a little high for a 9/16" staple.

Found these in a remodel the other day.

Just guessing , but they look one size bigger then 9/16. They would be good for 10-3 wg. You may have to angle them, though.

Technically you must go by the listing on the box.

There's no listing requirement for "romex" securing and supporting means.

I agree with Smart $ - last I checked there was no listing requirement for staples.

But if they are listed, and some are, then you must use them as directed.

Gee, I better replace the listed staples I'm currently using to hold a quilt over the window.

Technically, they aren't in a box.


I was going to make the listing joke dammit!

Staples + listing = :roll:
