Uses for a 2-Inch Crown Stapler
The stapler is a humble device that has been around since the 1700s. The first staplers appeared in the court of King Louis XV, and each staple was inscribed with the royal court's insignia. The staples were used for papers, binding materials and pinning fabric when sewing. More recent uses for staples are in surgery and in construction. A 2-inch crown stapler is well suited for various tasks in construction. Does this Spark an idea?

Plywood
-
One use of 2-inch pneumatic crown staplers is to install plywood on roofs or overhangs. The staples work well securing the material and can be used instead of 4d box nails.
Doors
-
Two-inch crown staplers work well when building doors that have panels and trim. The staple "can't be overdriven" and is unlikely to split wood at the end grain, according to HGTV Pro.
-
Framing
-
Two-inch crown staplers work well for framing, such as applying sheathing for walls, building fireplace surrounds, shower enclosures, support ledges and arches.
Stucco
-
Staplers can also be used to install stucco to metal lath. The staples do not split the stucco, and the stapler drives them in with enough force to penetrate the metal. They also allow for speed of application.
