Yes! Every Staple Wasp is built to last, not to be replaced. When parts wear out, you only replace the piece that’s worn.

Geo-fabrics, erosion mats, landscape fabric, drip lines...you name it. If it's erosion control or irrigation, the Wasp handles it. Got questions? Contact us!

We sure do. Whether your gun needs a tune-up or a fix, we’ve got your back. We offer: • Maintenance service to keep your Staple Wasp running smooth • Repair service for worn parts or operational issues Contact our team to initiate this request.

The Wasp works great in most soils, except super compacted Class 5. For harder soils, use the “jackhammer” tapping method to set the staple.

Prevent jams by: • Going slow at first, match your pace to ½ speed install for the first 15 minutes • Fully inserting staples - listen for the solid “CLACK” at the bottom of each stroke • Avoiding short strokes that stack staples in the chamber • Keeping your gun clean using WD‑40 and refreshing with silicone spray oil • Watching our Getting Started and jam videos before you use the tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFofDB5vc1E&t=8s

Stuff happens. Here’s the fast fix: 1. Remove any staples from the carriage. Lock it at the rear. 2. Flip open the red-latched front plate near the base. 3. Remove the jammed staple and close the latch. That’s it - your jam is cleared in seconds. Want to see it in action?

You can still use the staples manually, just feed the loose clipped staples into the apron. It works, but clipped cartridges make it faster and cleaner.

Yes, it should. But we recommend filing down any sharp edges that might catch a staple. If it jams repeatedly, our service department can help fix it. Just reach out to us.

Yes. Always lock the carriage back and dump tension before opening the jam plate. That prevents staples from feeding through when the chamber is exposed.

It’s simple: • Clean off dirt and dust after each use • Wipe with WD‑40 or similar • Lubricate often with silicone spray • Tap all set screws weekly with a 3/16″ Allen wrench Watch our maintenance video for visual walkthroughs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjV29EeG6I4

Keep a 1/4” and 3/8” Allen wrench handy to tighten loose set screws, and a small mallet to clear tough jams by striking the top of the ground shoe.

Use silicone-based spray (such as WD‑40 Silicone) daily. For cleanups, go with a parts cleaner/dry lubricant like regular WD‑40. Steer clear of grease—it attracts dirt and slows things down.

Typically, a crew will use 2 guns to stitch the edges of the blanket and a 3rd gun to stitch the center. While there are various methods, this is the most common approach.

Most jobs require around 6,000 staples per acre, but soil type and slope can change that. To get a more accurate estimate, try our Staple Estimator Tool.(https://www.staplewasp.com/staple-calculator) It’ll give you a quick count based on your project specs. Still unsure?

Yes—stationary only. Don’t reverse while stapling along blanket seams. That can damage the staple apron over time.

It depends on your crew size, how big the project is, and how many staples you’re installing.
