Get to know... Tacker

Out with staple guns that almost dislocate your hand, this new tool makes upholstery and craft projects so much easier and more fun.

In fact, you can say goodbye to hammers, screws, glue and pins. The versatile Bosch Cordless Tacker PTK does it all and more. Regardless of whether you want to tack or staple something, work with fabrics, indoors or outdoors, in light or dark conditions - this is the perfect tool. Thanks to a powerful battery, you can tack anywhere at any time without an annoying cable being in the way.

Bosch provide a wide range of staples, nails and pins for these hand-held tackers for all applications. Length, back width, wire strength, wire hardness and tip shape have been matched for use with different materials such as wood, plaster, plastics or even simple masonry.

When tacking upholstered furniture, insulation materials or even decorations for a garden or children's party, this is a very handy tool to have in the home. And this is the first Tacker with an integrated LED work light for good visibility in dark areas or in poorly lit rooms.

The safety nose on the Tacker ensures that tacking only takes place when the tool is pressed down onto the workpiece. You then simply select the correct impact force on the setting wheel to suit the hardness of the workpiece. The scale on the setting wheel makes reproducible working easy.

Refilling is easy and the magazine capacity can hold 100 staples at a width of 11.4 millimeters and at lengths of up to 14 millimeters, or 50 nails at the same lengths.

When fully charged, the Tacker it has enough power for 300 shots in hardwood (staple length of six millimeters or nail length of 14 millimeters).

The cordless tacker is ergonomically designed with Softgrip surfaces, lightweight portability and a large trigger switch, which all allow for easy working. Thanks to its symmetrical design, the Tacker is suitable for both right-handers and left-handers.
