BOSTITCH Hammer Stapler/Tacker, Manual, 1/4-Inch to 3/8-Inch (H30-8)

I did some research on this product before I made the purchase and all the reviews stated to use the crown staples for it to work properly. I bought the crown staples and this tool worked fantastic. I had no problems with any jams, it worked each and every time. It is relatively light weight to use and I am so glad that I did not try to use a hand stapler instead. GREAT tool to have when working on the roof.

This is a heavy-duty stapler. I bought it for some current remodeling projects and haven't been disappointed. Works great for roofing felt, vapor barrier and rafter vent baffle installations. Particularly handy because it can be swung like a hammer, less effort.

Awesome slapper and extremely durable. Do not buy the H30-6. It for some reason wouldn’t even put out a single 3/8 staple. Bought this model and zero issues.

Well built

I LOVE this....I have an electric stapler that is so cumbersome and jams - this is quick - easy and works great. Jams once in a great while, but not if I line it up so it hits flat rather than at a slight angle.

I have been using this stapler for at least a year and have had no problems. It really works and does not jamb up. I did buy the recommended staples which have a slight rise in the top. They cost a bit more but work well in this stapler. I'm not a Bostitch fan, but they are building a very good hammer tacker.

I found a ton of the staples for this unit at a local Habitat for Humanity Restore, and found that the powercrown staples I found work fantastically with this.It is very very easy to use, and I've found little effort is needed for it to actually work.On a side note, if you ever put the incorrect staples in, it can jam, becareful what staples you use.But a major plus for this unit, is there is a small little rod in the middle of the unit that you can remove, and everything will come apart and be unjammed, and it's simple to put back together.

Good stapler other than it does not last longer than a couple months same piece breaks everytime

I prefer this tacker over other styles and brands. I prefer the crowned staples that is uses.

So far so good

This stapler will make your vapour barrier, house wrap, etc... installations so much faster. One handed operation without difficulty.

I hate to write bad reviews... I managed to put 10 staples in, and ... it got stuck once, then twice, then got permanently stuck. I was using 3/8'' Bostitch crown staples. Reviews are good, but my experience tells otherwise.
