About this product
Description
Installing carpet underlay, securing insulation, or fitting roofing felt requires a reliable fastening tool that works quickly across Irish construction sites. The Draper Hammer Tacker Type 140 delivers professional-grade stapling performance with single-handed convenience, making it an essential tool for tradespeople and serious DIYers.
Built with a durable high-carbon steel body, this hammer tacker is engineered for longevity even under demanding conditions. The ergonomic soft grip ensures comfortable handling during extended use, reducing hand fatigue when working through large-scale projects. The quick-loading mechanism means less downtime between applications, whilst the intuitive single-handed operation allows you to position materials with your free hand whilst stapling.
Compatible with Type 140 staples ranging from 6-10mm in length, this versatile tacker handles multiple applications with ease. Perfect for securing carpet underlay during floor installations, attaching insulation material in renovation projects, fixing roofing felt on sheds and outbuildings, and professional upholstery work. The hammer action delivers consistent staple penetration across various materials, ensuring secure fixing every time.
Designed for Irish working conditions, the robust steel construction withstands the rigours of construction sites and workshop environments. Whether you’re a professional carpet fitter working across multiple properties, a builder securing insulation in new builds, or a DIY enthusiast tackling home improvement projects, this hammer tacker provides reliable performance. The lightweight 0.5kg design reduces arm strain during overhead applications like roofing work, whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for repetitive use.
Furthermore, the HAMT/C designation ensures compatibility with readily available Type 140 staples from hardware suppliers across Ireland. The quick-loading system means you can reload mid-project without tools, maintaining workflow efficiency on time-sensitive jobs.
