Bosch hand tackers, hammer tackers and a 16-in-1 multitool

This Bosch group collects hand tools that fit no other group: hand tackers, hammer tackers and a 16-in-1 multitool. The tackers are for anyone fixing membrane, insulation, covering or fabric in renovation, interior fit-out and upholstery. The group belongs to Bosch hand tools.

The choice comes down to how you work. With a hand tacker such as the HT 8 or HT 14, you place each staple exactly where you want it, which suits upholstery and finishing. With a hammer tacker such as the HMT 53 or HMT 57, you drive the staples in with a swing. That is faster across large areas, such as roofing membrane or insulation, where exact placement matters less.

When you restock staples, check the type. Several tackers in this group take type 53 staples, from 4 to 8 mm or up to 14 mm, and the HT 14 also takes type 41 pins. A staple of the wrong type will not feed properly.

The 16-in-1 multitool packs several functions into one compact tool that fits in your pocket, handy for small jobs when the toolbox is out of reach.
