How would this work for the feed line? I have a Gap vertical I put up 
over the winter. Now that the ground is thawed I need to do something 
about the coax feed into the house. It's presently laying on the 
ground. Opinions and suggestions on whether a similar stapling 
technique would work for the coax? I'm using RG-8X so it's relatively 
thin and flexible.
