SL 107 Cage Nail

Product Overview

The SL-107 cage nail is a galvanized steel staple strip used to fasten wire mesh at cage joints in poultry and small livestock housing. Each strip holds many pre-formed C-shaped staples lined up in a row, so a ring plier can feed one staple after another without the worker handling each ring by hand. The nails are shown as stacked silver strips, ready to be loaded into a compatible ring closing plier. Compared with tying wire by hand, this method gives a neater and more consistent joint in a fraction of the time, and it leaves no loose wire ends that could scratch birds or workers.

Because the staples are zinc plated, they resist light rust in a damp barn and keep a clean appearance during long storage. The strip format speeds up cage building: one worker loads a strip once and closes dozens of joints before reloading. These nails are the consumable that goes with any C-type cage ring plier, and they are commonly ordered in large quantities together with the tool. They sit flat against the mesh and hold the two wire layers together firmly once the plier compresses the loop, which keeps panels square and doors secure through years of daily use.

Key Features and Benefits

• Strip-loaded staples - many C-shaped nails are connected in a row for fast feeding into a ring plier.
• Galvanized steel finish - the zinc coating helps the staples resist rust in a humid farm environment.
• Uniform C-shape - each staple is formed to the same curve, so rings close consistently across every joint.
• Quick joint fastening - closes wire mesh crossings in one squeeze, replacing loose wire twists.
• Bulk consumable value - sold as strips, economical for large cage installation and repair projects.
• Tool-matched supply - designed to work with standard C-type cage ring pliers in the same product range.

Materials and Quality

Each nail is made of steel wire with a galvanized surface, which gives a dull silver appearance and basic corrosion protection. The strips are stacked neatly so they feed straight into the plier magazine without jamming. Every batch is checked visually for plating coverage and strip straightness before packing, and the nails are boxed dry to avoid moisture marks during transit. A consistent strip length means the worker does not have to stop and adjust halfway through a panel of cage mesh, and the formed staple tips are shaped to pull the loop closed rather than cut through the wire.

How to Use and Maintain

Load a strip into the magazine or jaw of a compatible C-type ring plier, place the jaw over crossed cage wires, and squeeze to close one staple. Continue squeezing to feed the next staple from the strip. Store unused strips in their original box in a dry room, because prolonged damp can dull the galvanized surface. Keep the nails away from chemicals and feed additives that could stain the steel. If a strip jams, open the jaw and clear it rather than forcing the plier, which could bend the staple tips. Keep spare nails inside the shed workshop so they stay dry and ready for daily repairs.

Applications

These cage nails are used in building and repairing welded wire mesh cages for layers, broilers, pullets, rabbits and other caged poultry. They fasten mesh panels, door frames and partition joints, and they are also used to attach feeder and drinker brackets to the wire. A single carton of strips often covers several days of installation work on a medium-sized shed, which keeps the project moving without frequent reordering.

Distributors stock them as a companion consumable to ring pliers, and mixed shipments can combine the pliers with several cartons of nails. Farms carrying out a full cage fit-out order them by the box to avoid running out mid-installation. They are also a sensible spare part to keep on hand for routine cage repairs throughout the year, so a bent door wire can be fixed the same day it is noticed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a cage nail used for?

It is a C-shaped galvanized staple that a ring plier closes around crossed wire mesh, holding cage panels and doors together without twist ties. It speeds up both new cage building and daily repair work, and it leaves a cleaner finish than hand-twisted wire ties.

Q2: Are these nails compatible with my existing plier?

They are made for standard C-type and M-type ring pliers used in poultry cage assembly. If you send a photo of your tool, we can confirm the match before you place a bulk order.

Q3: How are the nails packed for export?

The strips are packed in cartons to keep them dry and orderly during sea freight. We can advise packing counts and carton dimensions once your order quantity is confirmed.

Q4: Can the nails rust in a wet barn?

They are galvanized for basic corrosion resistance. For long-term high-humidity use, keep spares in a dry store and replace bent or stained strips rather than forcing them through the plier.
