Hit hard and you'll love it

I always read 1 star reviews first before buying as is the case with this product.

Strike hard, like swinging a hammer with your elbow raised, and it works like a charm 95% of the time.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete

Are you packing your house? This is an essential tool!

I'm a do-it-yourselfer and I'm renovating the house. After removing the old paneling, we needed to apply the foil. With the Stinger CH38A, my son and I got the job done in a long day. Not only does the result look better than what I see on most new homes being built here, but the sheeting has withstood several violent thunderstorms and not a single staple has come loose.

Poor design Cheap welds for auto feed use

I have a Stinger CH38A with an auto feed. I bought from Revain, I've only used it twice in a couple of days. I placed the pad on the front of the roof with no problems. A few days later I did the second half. Towards the end of the job, the auto feed plate broke at the weld attached to the stapler. This is a "hammer" stapler. He has a very cheap seam! This model is not built to last. No further reinforcements on the automatic feed plate. Your engineers should return to the drawing board. Do you

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No auto feed
