Editorial Review:

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

Way better holding power than hammer tacker staples:

I bought my stapler used to build a garage. I'm a Mechanical engineer by day, so this review is targeted at the weekend warrior who likes having the right tools for the right job.
What I like.
-It takes a good tug to tear tar paper or house wrap. The caps are not flat but slightly cupped, thus the entire outside ring presses down on the paper spreading the load away from the staple puncture points ( Stress riser ) which is the starting point for most tears.
-It is super easy to change... more info

well worth the money:

First used these cap nailers when working for someone else. Now my business never hand nails. The caps and staples are a little more expensive, but the time saved pays for itself double. You can felt roofs in half the time. Cap nailed felt won't rip out from under you feet on steep pitched roofs. Great for tyvek too. Now everyone borrows mine. Getting ready to buy another for the company. MOney well spent, and great time saver.

a word of caution:

This is a solid tool. I have had a Bostitch framing nailer for years and it has always been reliable. So far, this cap stapler seems on par with that.
Here is the word of caution: The caps are pretty thick with a ridgid edge, like a sixteenth of an inch. I have a feeling that the design of this cap stapler had to work around Hitatchi patents. One of the concessions might have been the cap loading mechanism which appears to count on substatial edge-thickness of the caps.
The down side of these... more info

Stanley Bostich worth the investment everytime!:

I am a contractor - not a roofer.
Occasionally I have found it more cost effective to have my workers do small roof jobs rather than subcontract.
I nailed my first roof by hand - and later was fortunate to have a friend with a bostich coil, roof nailer RN145 help me on my second. The difference was so astounding that I bought a coil, roof nailer ( Porter-Cable RN175A) which I have reviewed. ( the Bostich RN145 is the better tool )
