BOSTITCH Stapler And Nailer Caps, 1000-Pack (SB-CAPS)

After having used both Bostitch and Hitachi cap staplers I can say without a doubt that the Bostitch caps are the best. They work in Bostitch cap staplers without a problem, are easy to load, and are inexpensive. Not only do the Hitachi caps occasionally tear through, sometimes they do not release from the roll easily. The Bostitch caps never tear through and are individually stacked on the stick. The biggest advantage I have found however, is that you can drop a stick in your nail pouch and pinch off individual caps to use with a standard staple gun. Many times you will find that your cap stapler will not fit where you want to place a staple, but a smaller staple gun will. This is especially handy when hanging insulation in tight spaces. By holding a cap in place when you staple, you can prevent the staple from tearing through the backing on the insulation. (Of course once the nose of the staple gun is on the cap, you want to move your finger before pulling the trigger.) The Bostitch caps will also work with brads. They are just made of tougher plastic than roll caps. So the Bostitch caps are not only more versatile, but you will never have a staple tear through. While they are a little more expensive than roll caps, they are a better value overall. Especially if you need the retention of a staple cap when using a standard staple or brad gun. If you own a Bostitch cap stapler then these caps are your only choice. If you don't own a cap stapler then you can use these caps individually with any staple gun. In any case they are the best staple caps you can buy.

These go with the Bosch Cap gun and after trying a lot of solutions (hammer, Stinger, etc.) this system is the bomb. It never misfires. The caps stay on the nail. I can't use it without telling my work partner (my wife) how much I love it and how much better it is than anything we've used before. Works for Tyvek and for 1/2" foam.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I liked the brand. Caps worked well with the nail gun. Received the caps in time for a scheduled job.

It surprised me how fast you go through 100 caps. No issues firing over 1000 caps on roofing underlayment. These hold well if you aren't overdriving them

I received exactly what I ordered, I have ordered several times and never disappointed

They need to include staples, I ended up having to order staples and the prices I paid for the discs was about the same if I go to Lowe’s and but the discs worth the staples

While there are only 100 caps in a stack so you go through them pretty quick, there is no fiddling as with the coiled caps that don't always separate. These are also carried by the Homely Despot if you need some in a pinch, though you will have to buy a box of staples with the caps for almost twice the money. Regardless of the money, this sure beats hand nailing cap nails

These caps work well with the cap stapler they are designed for. I don't know if they work in others or not. I use them in the Bostitch cap stapler to fasten roof underlayment. The only downside I've noticed is that under a metal roof if you put a screw close to a cap it does show through the metal.
