In the world of roofing, speed and reliability aren’t just nice to have — they’re table stakes. Whether you’re installing housewrap or roofing underlayment, the fastening method you choose defines how fast you work, how secure your install is, and how safe your jobsite stays. That’s where cap fastening comes in, a smart, modern approach that delivers all three.
Cap fastening isn’t just about putting fasteners in materials; it’s about doing it right. With tools like the STINGER CN100B Cap Nailer and CS150B Cap Stapler, paired with high-performance NailPac® and StaplePac®, cap fastening brings efficiency and confidence to every job. Let’s break down why cap fastening should be in every crew’s toolkit.
Fast: Up Your Production Game
On any jobsite, time is money. Traditional hand nailing or stapling slows crews down, introduces fatigue, and makes consistent fastening a challenge. STINGER’s Collated Cap Fastening Systems, specifically engineered for speed, change that.
Tools like the STINGER CN100B Cap Nailer and CS150B Cap Stapler can fire up to five fasteners per second, dramatically accelerating your install rate compared to manual methods.
Here’s why pros love them:
- High-capacity magazines keep you working longer between reloads.
- Rapid cycle rates help you cover more square footage every hour.
- Sequential or bump fire modes let you choose the firing style that fits your pace.
The result? A workflow that stays in motion, no awkward pauses and no slow hand-set rhythm. Cap fastening tools get the job done fast so you can move on to the next phase with confidence.
Secure: Strong Holds That Last
Fastening isn’t just about speed. It’s about consistent, lasting hold. Loose or improperly installed fasteners can lead to failures down the line, such as blow-offs in high wind, loose wrap edges, and compromised moisture barriers.
Cap fastening systems are engineered to deliver secure performance every time:
- Caps help seal out moisture that can penetrate the sidewall and roofing deck.
- Caps reduce the possibility of tearing roofing underlayment, felt, or housewrap.
- Caps provide better holding power than a nail or staple alone.
- Helps reduce blow-offs.
- Reduces lateral slippage.
With the right tool and fasteners in your hand, you’re not guessing if something will hold. You know it will.
Safer: Reduce Fatigue and Jobsite Risk
Roofing jobs can be punishing. Repetitive motion injuries, wrist strain, and fatigue slow crews down. Though, when using the CN100B and CS150B, these tools allow for three points of contact with the roof. Unlike when you’re swinging a hammer to install hand-driven fasteners.
Ergonomics That Work With You
STINGER’s CN100B and CS150B tools are designed with lightweight, balanced bodies that reduce user fatigue over prolonged use. Less fatigue means fewer mistakes and lower risk of strain, especially during long days.
Cleaner Installs
Cap fasteners lay flat and secure, minimizing stray or bent nails/staples that can become hazards. That’s better for crew safety and makes cleanup faster too.
Easy and Consistent: Built for Real Job Conditions
Cap fastening systems are engineered for real construction environments:
- Tool-free adjustments let you dial in performance without downtime.
- Exclusive NailPac and StaplePac assortments are optimized to dramatically increase productivity and reduce downtime, so you’re always working with fasteners that pair perfectly with your tool.
- Adjustable control and depth-of-drive adjustments let you set just the right penetration. No overdriven fasteners and no materials damaged by too-deep setting.
Whether you’re fastening synthetic underlayment or securing housewrap, cap systems give you clean results job after job.
Bottom Line: Faster, Stronger, Safer
Cap fastening isn’t just another tool choice, it’s a competitive advantage. With the right STINGER Cap Stapler or Nailer and the proper fasteners, you’re working faster, securing materials more confidently, and protecting both your crew and your bottom line.
In roofing and siding applications where every second counts and every hold matters, STINGER Collated Cap Systems delivers the performance pros demand. That’s the power of STINGER and it’s time to put it to work on your next build.
