Fabric Pins are very handy to hold geotextiles in place during installations. They can also be used to secure TRMs in some soft, loose soils. Made of steel they drive easily into most soils and the washer prevents the material from pulling through.

“The Rifle” staple gun (Patent Pending) is the most reliable cartridge stapling system on earth!
Constructed of steel with a open design, getting staples in and out of the gun is easy as 1-2-3. The precision of the “Factor M” cartridge along with a thinner, yet stiffer wire allows for rapid penetration of the staple even through ice and frozen ground. With 100 staples per load you save amazing amounts of time not having to load single staples by hand.
