The Hand-Held Fence Staple Driver features a wire guide that positions the wire (barbed or smooth) on the post. A staple is then automatically fed and held in position over the wire as it is driven into the post by striking the punch with a hammer. The hand grip (with safety guard to protect one's fingers) converts for left- or right-hand use by simply reversing it. The device holds a strip of 22 1.25 inch barbed staples.
