Summary: 1 Stars
We found this at a local home improvement store. The salesman suggested it when we told him we wanted to put up roofing felt under cedar siding we were installing. It's not something we'd use very often, but you can use it as a regular slap stapler, too (by not loading a roll of caps). And the salesman we spoke to seemed enthusiastic about its capability to affix staples and caps in one stroke.
Unfortunately, this thing just doesn't work reliably. We tried different ways of holding it and hammering with it, but never could find our groove. The staples would land in different places on the cap. Sometimes they were too close to the edge of the cap, and we had to pull them out. Other times one or both sides of the staple would crumple. Those would have to come out, too.
It also had jammed repeatedly. The spring-loaded rod that pushes the staples forward (similar to the one in staple guns) is supposed to lock into place. But it kept coming loose and pushing back into the row of caps, keeping them from advancing.
When they go in right, these caps are effective. This would be a great item if they'd go in right with any regularity.
If you are going to try one of these, buy at least twice as many staples and caps as you need. And plan to go slowly.
