Hedday 200 Pcs Multi-Cable Staple, Cable Stackers Electrical Wire Stackers, Cable Staples Clips with Steel Nails, White for Suitable Most Cables

What I used and why

I put the Hedday cable stackers to work on a few recent projects: tidying a messy rack closet, cleaning up low‑voltage runs in a basement, and organizing NM cable in a garage where I wanted neat, code‑friendly support without crushing the jackets. I’ve used plenty of traditional U‑staples and a handful of branded stacker systems over the years. These aim to do the same job—secure and separate multiple cables along studs and joists—at a price that makes bulk organization feasible.

Design and build

Each clip is roughly 3.3 x 1.7 inches, molded from recycled white plastic with steel nails for fastening. The profile is low and the “lip” at the edges is subtle, so you can place them side‑by‑side without fighting interference. The channels are open on one side, which makes threading easy and lets you drop in additional cables later without pulling the whole run. The plastic feels slightly flexible rather than brittle, which is what you want in a clip that needs to be tapped into wood without shattering.

The steel nails are adequately sharp and straight; I didn’t see the out‑of‑box warping that occasionally plagues bargain clips. While these are clearly made for wood, the nail holes will accept a small pan‑head screw if you’re working in a spot where swinging a hammer is awkward or you’re going into plywood/OSB that tends to split. There’s nothing exotic here: just a sensible, utilitarian clip that gets the fundamentals right.

Installation experience

Installation is about as straightforward as it gets:

• Thread your cables into the channels.
• Hold the stacker against the stud or joist.
• Tap the nails until the base is snug.

A few notes from real use:

• The nails set cleanly in SPF studs with no predrilling. In LVL or old hardwood framing, a small pilot hole makes life easier and reduces the chance of splitting.
• Driving too aggressively can deform the plastic. As with any plastic clip, stop once the base is snug to the surface; don’t try to crush it flush like a metal staple.
• In tight corners and near ceiling joists, a stubby hammer or a small screw through the nail hole is the least fussy approach.
• Orientation matters. Because the channels are open, I had the most secure hold with the openings facing sideways or up. Facing them straight down can work, but gravity and vibration aren’t your friends.

Compared to conventional insulated staples, these are quicker when you’re managing multiple cables. You route, drop, tap, and move on—without fussing over how many staples you’ve driven too tight or too loose.

Cable capacity and fit

These clips are intended for “multi‑cable” use—think multiple low‑voltage runs (Cat6, coax, thermostat wire) or a handful of smaller NM cables. The channels comfortably handle cables in the telephone‑to‑Cat6 thickness range and will take typical residential NM runs individually without pinching. On a stud face, two clips placed next to each other can keep power and low voltage clearly separated while maintaining a clean line.

I appreciated that I could space and group cables consistently: two Cat6 and one coax in one clip, a single 14/2 NM in the next, rinse and repeat down the bay. The footprint leaves enough breathing room between conductors compared to bundling with zip ties, which helps with both heat dissipation on current‑carrying cables and signal crosstalk on data lines.

A practical tip: don’t over‑fill a single clip “just because it fits.” Keeping channels one‑to‑one (or two light low‑voltage in a channel) makes it easier to service later and avoids pressure on jackets.

Organization, safety, and code considerations

One of the real advantages of stackers over staples is consistency. It’s easier to maintain:

• Regular support spacing along the run.
• Clear routing paths in stud bays so trades aren’t stepping on each other.
• A bit of air gap between current‑carrying conductors rather than compact bundles.

On the safety side, the clips do their part by avoiding jacket damage and letting cables breathe—both good practices for longevity and heat management. Still, the installer is the most important safety device. A few reminders I follow:

• Observe your local code for support intervals and box‑entry distances for NM and low‑voltage cables. These clips make it easy, but they don’t make an installation compliant by themselves.
• Keep low‑voltage and power separated as required, or use physical separation on the stud face.
• If you’re in an unconditioned or sun‑exposed space, be mindful: these are plastic and not UV‑rated. Indoors is the intended environment.

Durability and materials

The recycled plastic is a nice touch and, in practice, performed like any quality utility polymer. I installed some in a cool garage and an air‑conditioned closet; no cracking or flaking, even when tapped a bit off‑center. If you’re working in very cold conditions, let the clips acclimate and avoid over‑driving the nails—basic plastic‑handling best practices.

The steel nails are fine for interior wood. For treated lumber, masonry, or metal studs, use appropriate fasteners; the included nails aren’t designed for those materials. I’d also keep these inside; they’re not intended as a weatherproof solution.

Everyday usability

Where these shine is repetitive work. If you’re running a series of home‑run Cat6 lines, cleaning up a basement’s spaghetti of coax, or supporting a few NM cables along a joist, the time savings add up. The clips keep everything aligned and readable: you can trace a cable visually without digging through a bundle.

One small detail I liked: the low profile allows parallel placement without staggering, so I can lay out “lanes” on a stud—two for low voltage, one for power—and keep them consistent the whole way. It makes future adds and troubleshooting far less frustrating.

Limitations and trade‑offs

• Open‑channel design: Great for drop‑in serviceability, less ideal if oriented downward or in high‑vibration spots. Point the openings sideways or up when you can.
• Not a masonry solution: On block or brick, these aren’t the right fastener; consider surface‑mounted raceway or anchors with dedicated clips.
• Aesthetic: The bright white plastic stands out in exposed areas. If you’re aiming for a stealthier look, you may want to paint the surrounding wood or place them where they’ll be covered by drywall.
• Capacity: They’re “multi‑cable” stackers, not a substitute for ladder tray. For large bundles or heavy gauge cable, step up to proper supports.

Value

A 200‑count box is generous. For a small project you’ll have leftovers; for a remodel or network re‑pull, you’ll use more than you expect. The unit cost is low enough that I didn’t hesitate to place clips exactly where they made sense instead of stretching spacing to conserve hardware. That alone improved the quality of the finished runs.

In terms of performance, these are right in line with more expensive brand‑name stackers I’ve used. They don’t feel like a compromise.

Tips for best results

• Plan routes before you start; lay out power and low‑voltage lanes separately.
• Pre‑drill in dense framing or near edges to prevent splitting.
• Orient channels sideways or upward for the most secure hold.
• Don’t over‑fill channels; leave room for serviceability and heat dissipation.
• Use screws through the nail holes if you’re working in a tight corner or need extra bite.

Bottom line

The Hedday cable stackers are a simple, effective way to bring order to cable runs without the usual pitfalls of traditional staples. They install quickly, hold cables securely when oriented sensibly, and keep conductors spaced and readable. The recycled plastic and clean molding inspire confidence; the included steel nails do their job without drama. They’re not a cure‑all—don’t expect them to replace proper supports for large or outdoor runs—but for interior residential and light commercial organization, they’re exactly what I want: unobtrusive, consistent, and predictable.

Recommendation: I recommend these for anyone organizing interior cable runs—DIYers bringing sanity to a home network, electricians tidying NM and low‑voltage in stud bays, or pros who want a reliable, budget‑friendly clip in bulk. They save time, reduce rework, and help produce cleaner, safer installations at a price that encourages you to use them as often as you should.
