To maximize performance, your Cobra™ hammer tacker has been designed to work with genuine Cobra™ brand heavy duty staples in various lengths from 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (see chart for what size staple fits each Hammer Tacker model).
Cobra™ hammer tackers are also compatible with other brands of heavy duty narrow crown staples such as Powershot® and Arrow®

6000 1/4” - 3/8”
6100 1/4” - 1/2”
