Bostitch Stapler SL1838BC

The Bostitch SL1838BC is a pneumatic cap stapler. This tool, introduced in 2010, is designed for specific applications such as securing felt, house wrap, roofing paper, and thin foam insulation onto exterior walls and roofs. The stapler uses 18-gauge staples, with staple sizes varying from 1/2" to 1-1/2" leg length and a staple crown width of 5/16". The magazine of the stapler can hold up to 160 staples. The tool weighs 3.9 lbs and its dimensions are 16" x 8" x 19". It operates on compressed air and features a 1/4" industrial interchange quick connector for the air inlet. The body of the stapler is constructed from glass-filled nylon housing.

The Bostitch SL1838BC comes with a variety of features. It has an overmolded rubber grip for control and comfort. It also has an adjustable depth of drive for setting the depth of the staple appropriately. The stapler offers three firing modes, namely, contact, sequential, and single shot. The tool has a jam clearing access door that can be opened without the need for any tools. Additional features include a belt hook for carrying the stapler hands-free, a lock-out lever to prevent accidental firing, and a low nail lockout indicator that alerts the user when the staples are about to run out. The SL1838BC is designed to drive plastic capped staples into roofing and siding substrates to fasten protective membranes or insulation securely. The cap enlarges the fastener head surface area to resist pull-through. The three firing modes allow for fast continuous fastening or precise placement of individual staples. The adjustable depth of drive ensures appropriate staple depth for the substrate without over-driving.
