A strong blast of wind can set you back to square one if you've just spent the past few hours wrapping new construction or a house about to be sided. You know that the holding area of a staple isn't great, but a 1-inch-diameter plastic cap on the staple gives it superior holding power. Bostitch's cap stapler fires 18-gauge cap staples into tar paper, felt paper and foam insulation sheets like nobody's business, keeping the wrap right where you put it. Depth of drive adjustments are tool-free, a nice feature when you're 30 feet above the ground. It's surprisingly light, it loads like a dream and lacks nothing in the power department. This is one of those tools that only does one thing, but boy, does it do it well.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
The Bostitch SB150SLBC-1 Cap Stapler can increase your speed by as much as 10X versus manual hammer tackers when installing felt, house wrap, and foam board insulation. This tool can drive an 1– to 1-1/2-inch (lenghth), 5/16-inch crown 18-gauge staple through a 1 inch diameter plastic cap to increase holding power on house wraps. The wider 5/16-inch crown staple helps prevent puncture to the cap. With an adjustable depth guide and lightweight aluminum design, Bostitch has designed a tool that can significantly reduce the time it takes to put up house wraps, while decreasing the potential for failure or tearing of those wraps. This tool comes equipped with oil, a hex wrench, 1000 caps, 1000 staples, a carrying case and Bostitch's exclusive 7 Year Warranty.
