U shaped nails for holding down speaker wire?

You mean staples?





It wouldn't let me reply to your email:





The product you are looking for is a staple, it is not a nail. It is a thicker guage than most staples, not regular paper staples. You can find them in the hardware section of Lowe's or Home Depot. Not knowing your location, I'm sure your local hardware store also has them. DO NOT use a staple gun to install them. That will definitely cut the entire wire, not just the sheathing.





They also make a staple which won't fit in a staple gun. This also can be found in the hardware section. These are very sharp, so be careful.





Lastly, another option is an actual wire nail. This, I think, you


will find in the electrical section. It is a standard nail but has a plastic attachment that hold the wire in place when nailed in. These will be more expensive.





Oh, hold on. I KNOW I have a box of those staples.....





King Safety Products - Safety Staples - Product Number 70102. These are suitable for 12 and 14 gauge wire, more than suitable for speaker wire. Arrow products makes them as well, but I believe theirs are not coated.U shaped nails for holding down speaker wire?
