Abstract: A staple device with an extension rod allows an installer to use the device to hold and pull tension on a string of wired lights and secure them to a surface, such as the underside of eaves or soffits on a dwelling. The activation of the stapling device is achieved by a pushing motion against the surface to be stapled to rather than the squeezing motion of current stapling devices. The staple device also provides greater mobility to the installer as opposed to the current method of positioning and repositioning a ladder around the base of the dwelling. The present invention allows the installer to quickly traverse the base of the dwelling and install the holiday lights in a more efficient manner than with the use of a ladder and squeeze-type staple staplers.
