Roofing contractors and siding installers rely on the Stinger CH38A Auto Hammer Cap Stapler for rapid, code-compliant fastening of asphalt shingles, synthetic underlayment, house wrap, tar paper, and felt over wood decking. Its airless gravity-feed auto-advance mechanism delivers a 1-inch plastic cap and 3/8-inch A-11 staple in one hammer strike, holding 168 of each for uninterrupted jobsite productivity. Unlike the Senco BC58 Button Cap Stapler, which requires pneumatic power and handles longer 5/8-inch staples, the lightweight, manual CH38A eliminates air hoses for superior portability and ease in tight spaces, boosting efficiency without compressor dependency.
