April Construction Tool of the Month: Milwaukee Narrow Crown Stapler

Our April Tool of the Month is the Milwaukee Narrow Crown Stapler. IVHFH Construction Manager Chris Weckmann explains what the Narrow Crown Stapler is and its use on the construction site. Watch the video to hear what he has to say!

What does Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity use this tool for?
It is primarily used to attach the aluminum soffit, which is located on the underside of the porch and roof overhangs. We are currently using the stapler for this scope of work at our Memorial Build homes. Unlike pneumatic staplers, which are powered by air compressors, this electric-powered tool is particularly useful once we begin stapling on the soffit of the second floor—it's a bit cumbersome climbing 20 feet in the air while hauling heavy air compressor hoses!

How to use it:
1. Align the stapler with the location where you need to staple.
2. Push the stapler into the aluminum, and the staple will be set in place once you pull the trigger.
