Why Choose These PowerCrown Staples
STCR5019 is the heavy wire staple Bostitch builds its H30-8 and P6C-8 around, so it feeds and drives the way those tools are designed to. The 7/16" crown spreads the hold over more material, which helps on house wrap, felt and other thin sheets that can tear around a narrow staple. The 3/8" leg reaches a little deeper than the 1/4" size for a firmer hold.
Because these are made by Bostitch for Bostitch tools, you get the fit those tools are designed around. Off-brand staples in the same size may feed, but if a tool starts jamming, the staple is the first thing to check. Review the box label and make sure it reads STCR5019.
Compatible Tools
These Bostitch 5019 staples fit the Bostitch H30-8 hammer tacker and the Bostitch P6C-8 stapling plier. Both take 1/4" and 3/8" legs. If you have another Bostitch tool, review its manual for the STCR5019 sizes it takes.
They don't fit B8 tools, which use STCR2115 staples.
Uses
- House wrap and plastic sheeting
- Roofing felt and building paper
- Insulation facing and moisture wrap
- Heavy-duty plier stapling with the P6C-8
Choosing the Right Size
For the H30-8 and P6C-8, choose between 1/4" and 3/8". Use STCR5019 1/4" staples for thin wrap and paper, and this 3/8" leg for felt or thicker layers. Don't use the 1/2" or 9/16" sizes in those two tools. Add a box of each leg length if you do both kinds of work.
Bostitch STCR5019 3/8 by the Box
A box of 5,000 lasts a long time on most jobs. If you hang a lot of house wrap or felt with a hammer tacker, though, you'll go through STCR5019 staples faster than you think. Keep a spare box on hand so a job never stops halfway.
