Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For roof decking and sheathing, a 16 gauge medium crown stapler like the TA551B delivers speed without sacrificing staple set. Keep the end cap filter clean to extend internal tool life, and use the rafter hook between fastening runs. Match staple length to the sheathing and framing thickness per the applicable fastening schedule.
Wear eye and hearing protection and never point a pneumatic stapler at yourself or others; disconnect the air supply before clearing jams.
Add the MAX TA551B/16-11 medium crown stapler to your tool lineup for fast, jam-free sheathing and decking.
