The Staple Wasp drives ground staples into erosion blanket, landscape fabric and drip line up to 4x faster - standing up.
No gas. No battery. Built in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota.
The blanket is the cheap part. Pinning it down is where the hours go.
Bent over, one staple at a time, all day. It's the part of the job nobody volunteers for.
First hard rain and it's peeling. Then you're back on site doing the same job twice.
Material costs what it costs. The hours are the part you can actually change.
Six-inch staples come pre-loaded in clipped cartridges and drive straight into the ground from standing height. No bending, no bucket, no fumbling for the next one.
It's mechanical - nothing to charge, nothing to fuel, nothing to fail three hours from the shop. Two lengths: a 42" standard gun, and a 37" hill gun for slopes.
Put in your hourly labor cost and the size of the job. It works out the hours, the material difference and what you actually save - your numbers, not ours.
Fully burdened - wages plus taxes, insurance and overhead. Prevailing-wage DOT work in Minnesota runs around $48.
Most jobs run about 6,000 staples an acre.

Based on 10 hours an acre by hand against 3 with the Wasp, and 6.5 boxes of staples an acre - generic at $55 a box with 5% waste, Staple Wasp cartridges at $75 with none.
Most jobs run about 6,000 staples an acre, so size it to the ground you cover. Every package ships with the gun and staples pre-loaded in cartridges - choose the 42" standard or the 37" hill gun at checkout.

Yes. The cartridges are what make it fast - loose staples are the thing you're trying to get away from. We stock 1,000 up to 25,000 at a time, and every package ships with staples included.
It works in most soils. Heavily compacted Class 5 is the exception. On harder ground, use the jackhammer tapping method to set the staple.
The 37" hill gun is built for it. Same tool, shorter shaft, easier to control working across a grade.
Up to 4x against hand-stapling. Rather than take our word for it, run your own crew's numbers through the calculator above.
One-year warranty on non-wear parts, and the gun is modular - when a wear part goes, you replace that part rather than the tool. We also run maintenance and repair service.
Most crews running a blanket roller use three: two stitching the edges and one down the centre.
Two days of work finished in five hours. Their words, not ours.
We bought two Staple Wasps for a 5-acre project with slopes, swales and curved beds. What would normally take us 2 days was finished in just 5 hours. No sore backs, no buckets of bent staples. We’ve put 30,000+ staples through each gun with no issues. Buy one. It pays for itself.

Yeah man, this thing is awesome!! 100 rolls of 900 square foot rolls - 94,500 square feet total installed - with 10,000 pins by 3 guys in 24 hours, on some major hill sides of a retention pond. I will definitely be buying another gun in the spring.
