This is a must have tool! - I am a do-it-yourselfer re-siding my house. After removing the old siding, we needed to apply housewrap. with the Stinger CH38A, my son and I did the whole job in a long afternoon. Not only does the result look better than what I see on most of the new houses being built around here, but the wrap has withstood several severe thunderstorms without so much as a staple coming loose. The Stinger is simple to use and works like a charm. When I considered buying this tool, I was nearly turned off by the reviews, which seemed to be split almost evenly between those who loved it and those who hated it. My experience: yes, if you get in an awkward spot and cannot swing it to hit squarely, it may fail to feed a cap or fail to cut the cap free. For me, that happened maybe 1 out of 50 staples. For a contractor, that may be unacceptable. For me, it wasn't even a nuisance. Generally, the Stinger was as simple to use as a hammer. If you are applying roofing felt or housewrap to your own house, you have to have this tool. For $70, if you threw it away after you were done, it still would have been worth five times what you paid for it. Review: Saves time - This tool is a huge time saver. I used it on about 20 square of roofing underlayment and it took both boxes of staples / tab kits. It makes installing roofing underlayment easy and quick, especially when fastening at all of the recommended places, that is crucial for not slipping the underlayment when being walked on with steeper pitches. It takes a little to get used to lifting up with the stapler before moving, rather then pulling in a downward motion . If you don't lift up first you will spool about 10 tabs that will be wasted. One con is the staple and tabs are a little pricey for what they are. I also had two instances of the tab feeder getting jammed through the bottom jaw of the tool fir some reason. ## Features - Cap hammer weighs 2.9lbs (1.31kg) and fastens housewrap, underlayment, and rolled insulation - Holds 168 1” (25mm) plastic collated caps and 168 3/8” (9.5mm) crown staples - Trigger-free operation automatically feeds a new cap into position with every swing - The handle offers internal strength and a comfortable grip for performance - Use exclusively with STINGER 3/8” (9.5mm) StaplePac (0136420), collated caps and A-11 crown staples 20ga ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | National Nail | | Part Number | B002FYCZCA | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 13.75 x 6 x 7 inches | | Item model number | B002FYCZCA | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Size | 3/8 in | | Style | Automatically,Compact | | Material | Alloy Steel, Plastic | | Thickness | 10 Inches | | Power Source | Kinetic | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Warranty Description | Limited | ## Images ![CH38A Autofeed Cap Staple Hammer Tacker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613ucORBMgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wrapping Your House?

It misfires sometimes, but as others have noted, just hit it square and hard. It's been a huge time saver for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/11784897-ch38a-autofeed-cap-staple-hammer-tacker](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/11784897-ch38a-autofeed-cap-staple-hammer-tacker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
