Hi,

I am having problems find English staples for my 3 way heavy duty stapler!

I have a manual for it which gives exact dimensions (typical German),
and Lidl's say they can be readily bought in UK.

Unfortunately all the staples are sold in boxes showing "types of guns"
they are suitable for, but not the sizes!! Even spoken to Stanley but
they could not tell me all the dimensions.

I need a plain square staple about 10mm length leg.
The width MUST be between 11 and 12mm to fit on to the "slide" AND
the thickness of each staple (between the top of each one) MUST be
between 1.1 and 1.2mm.

I can find light duty ones that are the correct width across but the
thickness is less than 1mm. I have also found heavy duty one's that
have athickness of 1.25mm BUT are too narrow (10mm).

Can anyone identify something suitable please?
