Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The R11 is a solid choice for single-roof projects and repair work where a pneumatic cap stapler is overkill. Strike squarely on the felt to avoid skewed staples, and keep the striking face clean of tar and debris. For high-wind fastening schedules, follow up with the nails or cap fasteners the underlayment manufacturer specifies.
Wear eye protection and swing only at the work surface; keep hands and feet clear of the striking head and staple exit.
Order the Rapid R11 hammer tacker for fast, compressor-free underlayment tacking.
