Staples
Anybody out there ever get through a whole box of builders staples eg. (T50)
Without throwing half the box away b/c, they are all busted apart? You have better luck handling nitro.

Or throwing them all over the floor cuz you just put one right through your finger into the wall sheeting? Ok, I was stuck to the wall and could't reach them to throw them but I would have if I could.

when I worked with my fatherinlaw we would shoot 4 or 5 boxes of 3/8 (5000 each) in a day all shot with a stanley stapler (not a powered one) so normally the boxes lasted until we were done. plus if you dropped the box and messed up the staples you got to load the little pieces in the gun.

I think they have a self destruct switch in them. I am doing a addition, and I never moved the box off the table. I wasn't halfway done with them when they became metal confetti.

But I use them in a hammer-tacker type of stapler. Uses the same staples as the T-50

I think it is cheaper in a long run to buy the small boxes.
