Product Expert Notes
A hammer tacker is the fastest way to secure insulation batts, house wrap and foam board; strike the tool squarely and keep your free hand clear of the staple exit. Choose 1/4 in. staples for thin sheet materials and 3/8 in. for denser substrates. If your work is mostly repetitive overhead tacking, the R19's balanced, non-slip handle reduces fatigue.
Wear safety glasses and keep hands clear of the staple exit area; the striking head and staple points can cause injury if misused.
Add the Rapid R19 Hammer Tacker to your tool bag for fast, one-strike stapling.
