Staple Gun
Although powered staplers are very popular, you still need a manual stapler on the job site. This staple gun from DEWALT® is reliable and easy to fire, reducing fatigue over prolonged use.
Foam Gun
We like using a professional foam-dispensing gun as opposed to straw cans because it allows you to easily control bead size and reuse the can.
Utility Knife
This utility knife is well-made and comes in handy when cutting rigid foam insulation. You can extend the snap blade to cut through a 2-inch foam board.
