Staples and Caps
The Stinger CH38-2 Cap Hammer is an airless cap system that delivers the holding power of a cap with the speed and ease of a hammer tacker. Each pull of the CH38's trigger structure delivers a plastic cap ready for use. The 1 in. plastic cap and 3/8 in. staple combine to create a superior holding power over the traditional staple as well as divert moisture away from the fastener opening. The Stinger CH38-2 is for use with the 3/8 in. Stinger StaplePac only.
Highlights
Each trigger pull delivers a 1 in. plastic cap and a ⅜ in. staple
Gets the job done for a fraction of the cost of a pneumatic cap stapler
Does the job without the additional hassle and expense of a hose, compressor and power requirements
Best practice for securing roofing underlayment, felt and house wrap
Improved staple track and spring for reliable performance
Combination of cap and staples provide superior holding power and help reduce the possibility of tearing roofing felt or house wrap
Roofing and Underlayment Materials
Tar paper (roofing felt or asphalt-saturated felt, e.g., #15 or #30 felt): Commonly stapled to roof sheathing for temporary hold before shingles are installed. Staples provide sufficient tack-down, especially if covered quickly.
Synthetic underlayment (e.g., fiberglass or engineered synthetics like GAF Tiger Paw or Grace Ice & Water Shield): Can be stapled for short-term installation, though cap nails are preferred for better wind resistance and to avoid tears.
Building paper or red rosin paper: Used as a moisture barrier under siding or flooring; easily stapled to wood frames.
Examples of USE: Weatherproofing and Barrier Materials
House wrap (e.g., Tyvek or similar breathable membranes): Stapled to exterior wall sheathing to secure it in place before siding installation. Avoid over-stapling in windy conditions to prevent pulls.
Vapor barrier paper (evaporation retarder or polyethylene sheeting for moisture control): Ideal for stapling in attics, walls, or crawl spaces to prevent moisture migration. Often used in conjunction with insulation.
Plastic sheeting (polyethylene or visqueen for dust barriers, vapor retarders, or temporary covers): Frequently stapled to studs, joists, or frames for construction site protection or greenhouse applications.
Insulation and Interior Materials
Insulation (fiberglass batts, foam board, or rolled insulation): Staples secure the facing or edges to wood framing in walls, ceilings, or floors.
Ceiling tile insulation or acoustic panels: Light-duty stapling to wooden or metal furring strips.
Flooring and Upholstery Materials
Carpet underlayment or padding: Stapled to subfloors for secure attachment before carpet installation.
Upholstery fabric or foam: Used for reupholstering furniture, securing fabric to wooden frames.
Weather stripping or trim molding: Thin wood, foam, or rubber strips stapled around doors, windows, or baseboards.
Other General Construction Materials
Wiring or cable covers: Securing protective sheathing or conduit to walls.
Hobby and craft materials (e.g., fabric, cardboard, or thin plywood): For DIY projects like picture frames or decorations.
Dust barriers or curtains (additional plastic or fabric sheets): Hung in construction zones to contain debris.
