This tool is a nice addition to your LXT line if you have a lot of insulation to staple We use it for acoustic interior insulation in interior framed walls, seems to work better than hammer staplers. However not valuable for roof felt due to the fact that it is not sequential firing, like the machine gun pheumatics we use. We were hoping for this but only single bump fire.
