A Small Metal Tacker For Fabric And Canvas

The Rapid Compacta is a compact metal hand tacker that fires Rapid 53 series staples from 6 to 14mm, with a force knob and a built-in staple remover.

Recovering a chair seat, stretching a canvas or fixing fabric to a frame needs a tacker that can be turned down for thin material and up for harder timber. On the Compacta that is done with a knurled knob on top, which ACCO describe as step-free adjustable force.

When a staple goes in crooked, the staple remover built into the tool lifts it back out without reaching for something else. The handle locks down for storage.

Rapid rate tools on the pack as Pro, Handy or Hobby, and the Compacta is marked Hobby, which positions it for home and craft use rather than all day trade work. ACCO list a 2 year warranty.
