fence staples

Hi. I'm using fence staples to fasten hardware cloth to 2x4s building animal pens. I am so tired of hitting my fingers and thumb with the hammer. Is there some sort of trick or tool that will help me do this and spare myself pain?

You could try holding them with needle nose pliers instead of your fingers. That may be a better choice.

hi, a while back I saw tom silva use break off screws on a squeaky floor. THe screws have a collar used on the drill that seems to cut the head of the screw off below grade. Very useful for when u don't want to see the screw head. HD doesn't carry these screws. Anyone know where to get them? Thanks Happy Holidays

hi group, we have a standard metal mailbox which has been mortared into a brick column. sadly, the mailbox door has rusted and fallen off, only to be run over by the mail carrier. how do i fix this? replace the door somehow? use coat hanger and duct tape? replace the entire box? i don't think i can get the existing mailbox out without dynamite thanks for any thoughts..
