Hardened-Steel Construction
The Staple Shark is a beauty of tool because it makes staple removal a breeze, but also because it is sturdy and lightweight. The tool was made using hardened steel in the production process. Hardened steel is a simple term used to refer to medium or high-carbon steel. To be considered hardened, the steel is given a heat treatment and quenched in water. The steel is then tempered.
Quenching the steel results in the formation of metastable martensite, which gives hardened steel its desired strength. Hardened steel is heated at extremely high temperatures to create strong, resilient steel. It is often the preferred method in the production of machine parts and tools, such as the Staple Shark.
Why is a Staple Shark Useful?
Staples are a necessary part of cable and wire installation. Any jobsite with wires and cables you work on will have staples, and have them in abundance. The requirements for staples using Romex, for example, is one staple every 4 ½ feet to support the wires. Additionally, staples must be used within 12 inches of any box. With so many staples support cables and wires in the average home or business, you can save a lot of time.
