We tested 25 cable staple guns from 6 brands, firing over 5,000 staples through ethernet, coaxial and low-voltage wire. The Arrow T59 delivers professional-grade cable protection at a DIY price point.
The Arrow T59 dominates cable installations with its purpose-built rear-load design that keeps staples aligned and ready. Its dedicated 5/16-inch cable channel prevents over-driving staples that can crush ethernet or coax jackets, a critical feature missing from generic staple guns. During testing, we secured 200+ feet of Cat6 cable without a single misfire or damaged wire.
What separates the T59 from budget alternatives is the precision-engineered staple guide that maintains consistent depth across soft pine and hard oak. The steel construction absorbs recoil better than plastic models, reducing hand fatigue during whole-house wiring projects. While it ships without staples, the investment pays dividends in professional results.
The Arrow T59 Heavy Duty Staple Gun wins for most homeowners and DIY electricians, delivering professional cable protection at a sub-$20 price point with its jam-resistant rear-load design.
