Roofing contractors and siding installers rely on the Stanley Bostitch SL1838BC Cap Stapler Kit for fast, code-compliant fastening of asphalt shingles, synthetic underlayment, felt paper, house wrap, and foam board. Its lightweight 3.9 lb aluminum housing, tool-free depth adjustment, and selective firing mode boost jobsite efficiency during extended use. Unlike the Stinger CH38A Auto Hammer Cap Stapler, which limits to shorter 3/8" fasteners and lacks the Bostitch's versatile 3/4" to 1-1/2" 18-gauge staple range or 160-staple magazine capacity, the SL1838BC handles demanding roofing tasks with superior holding power and includes a contractor pack with oil, fittings, and case for immediate productivity.
