(from www.toolmonger.com) a great little piece on the Grip-Rite cap stapler. The cap stapler is one of those tools the world may try to tell you that you can live without -but just image how good it would look on the wall in the shop. From Toolmonger:
It drives 5/8″ leg 20-gauge 1/2″ crown staples — that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? — or brads with plastic caps in tandem. Staples and brads load into the center track just like any nail gun, and caps load into a separate adjacent track.
When you pull the trigger, the GRC-58 pushes a brad through a plastic cap, then nails the brad and cap assembly into your target. The plastic caps do a great job of holding down tar paper and such by evenly distributing pressure over a wider area than a standard brad or staple.
It weighs about 4 pounds, which isn’t bad considering that it’s pneumatic, and it comes complete with hard plastic carrying case, a bottle of tool oil, and air fittings.
Grip-Rite isn't the most famous brand on the market, but what it lacks in name it makes up for in price. They make a full line of staplers and compressors. (link)
