I have a Clipson Tower Cable Tacking Gun. It is an excellent tool and as it fires a cable clip and not a staple there is no chance of piercing the cable. It takes a band of 10 clips at a time. Hand operated with a strong hammering force which normally fixes the clip with one press. If additional force is needed subsequent shots can be fired on the same clip. The only trouble is . . .I can't source spare cable clips for it anywhere.
