Insulated Metal Cable Staples, 1/2-In., 15-Pk.,

Gardner Bender insulated metal cable staples are professional-grade fasteners designed to secure a wide variety of non-metallic cable types safely and reliably. These staples feature a steel body wrapped in a protective polyethylene insulating sheath that prevents arc faults if the staple is over-driven through a cable jacket. The 1/2-inch size is ideal for securing 2-conductor No. 12 and No. 14 non-metallic cables, including NM, BX, MC, AC, and UF types commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial wiring projects.

The sharp, burr-free steel tips bite easily into wood upon hammering while deterring wood splitting, making installation clean and efficient. Whether you're running new electrical circuits, bundling cable runs, or retrofitting existing systems, these staples provide a secure hold that prevents cable sag and protects conductors from abrasion and damage. The 15-pack offers excellent value for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts tackling larger projects.
