Editor's Review:

by Mike Guertin review date: September 1, 2007

The Stinger is similar to common hammer-tacker staplers, but with the addition of a plastic-cap delivery system. Squeeze your finger to advance a cap from the collation coil, and snap your wrist to drive it home with a staple. Using the tool requires a sort of rhythm, but I've seen people get the knack after the first 10 caps. Freedom from a hose, light weight, and easy operation make this tool a must-have for anyone who installs housewrap or roofing underlayment.
