Gardner Bender 1/2 in Cable Staple Blue Pack 500

Secure Cable Staples for Rough-In Wiring

Gardner Bender blue cable staples come in a 500-count bulk pack for professional and serious DIY electrical rough-in work. Each staple uses a UV-resistant polyethylene saddle combined with a plain-finish steel staple to hold cables firmly against wood framing. The 1/2 inch size accepts common residential wiring types including AC, BX, metal-clad, NM and UF cables. Made in the USA, they are designed for new construction and remodel projects where large quantities are needed.

Ideal for High-Volume Residential Wiring

Electricians and owner-builders running multiple circuits will appreciate the single-box convenience of 500 staples. The plastic saddle protects cable jackets from abrasion while the steel leg drives cleanly into studs and joists. Buyers who only need a handful for a single repair or a small appliance circuit will find the bulk quantity excessive and should consider smaller packs instead.

One-Half Inch Staple Size Matches Common Cable

The 1/2 inch designation is the critical specification that determines which cables fit securely under the saddle. It is sized for the outer diameter of standard AC, BX, metal-clad, NM and UF cables used in residential branch circuits. Using a staple that is too large allows cable movement and potential damage while one that is too small crushes the jacket or will not close over the conductor bundle.
