Accessories for tacking paper and for tacking at equal distances

With a specific accessory, the power tool can be used for tacking paper and for tacking at equal distances from the material edge. The accessory is only suitable for the UniversalTacker 18V-14.

Note: To load the magazine (9), you have to remove the paper tacker/spacer (13) from the power tool.

Note: Tacker staples are stronger than standard staples and are therefore more difficult to remove from the paper.
