Back on topic - sorry for the delay in response, Hautbois Francais!

I measure each staple exactly, before I start tying. As pointed out here there can be differences of several 1/10ths of a millimeter between individual staples. I don't have the luxury of being able to buy these over the counter, I order from abroad and get them by post. Returning staples because they are .2 mm too long is not an option for me.

I measure the staple before tying by using the thin probe that projects from the back end of the vernier. I open the vernier to (say) 80 mm, push the probe through the wide end of the staple until it projects out of the narrow end. I stand the vernier-plus-staple on the probe end on a solid surface, and push the jaws of the vernier closed until they stop. Then, I close the knurled nut. Time taken: About 3 seconds.

The result: My vernier caliper is locked at exactly the length of this particular staple. I can then use the jaws of the vernier to check my wrap length.
