Staple-guns work just fine for clipping cabling.
(if careful, and not for power stuff of course.)
I made up a plant-label with a notch in it, and glued it to the
front of the staple-gun to ensure adequate centering, and then adjusted
the power so that it just gripped the cable.
Nice and fast, and no fiddling about looking for cable clips.
(it was just a temperature sensor wire, for the greenhouse)


Hi,

Another one is to staple over a cable tie and use that to secure the
cable, handy where there is not enough space to hammer in a cable
clip.

cheers,
Pete.
