Makita Pneumatic Crown Stapler AT2550A 1 Inch Wide 16 Gauge Air Powered Tool (120 PSI 3 SCFM Lathing Sheathing Roofing Fastening Construction Kit)

High-Capacity Wide Crown Fastening for Lathing and Roofing Layouts

The Makita AT2550A 16-Gauge 1" Wide Crown Stapler is a pneumatic structural building tool engineered to drive wide crown staples with leg lengths from 1 inch to 2 inches. Operating within a compressed air pressure range of 65 to 120 PSI, this air-powered hand tool delivers heavy-duty holding power for high-volume lathing, roof sheathing, and foam board insulation installation. The compact 5.1-pound design integrates a top-loading aluminum magazine, an integrated air inlet filter, and a quick-release cam-lock nose to maximize jobsite productivity and eliminate operational mechanical downtime.

Best Used For:

• Wire Lath Installation: Fastening structural wire mesh and metal lath securely over substrates for heavy stucco applications.
• Exterior Wall Sheathing: Nailing down plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), and rigid foam insulation panels rapidly to structural framing.
• Roofing Material Securement: Applying protective asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, and dense underlayment sheets cleanly across expansive surfaces.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Top-Loading Aluminum Magazine: Holds up to 140 staples for minimal reloading intervals during high-production workflows.
• Tool-Less Depth Selection: Tactile micro-adjustment dial enables fast setting modifications between clean flush seating and countersunk driving.
• Cam-Lock Jam Extraction: Quick-release nose assembly pops open without accessories to permit instant clearing of infrequent staple jams.
• Air Inlet Filtering: Built-in internal mesh trap blocks airborne jobsite dust and compressor debris from invading the internal cylinder motor.
• 360-Degree Multi-Directional Exhaust: Rotating air deflector allows operators to direct spent compressed exhaust paths entirely away from their faces.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When deploying this tool for wire lath stucco backing, ensure the wide crown rides perpendicular to or straddles the wire gridlines; this guarantees maximum shear reinforcement across the structural boundary layers.
