Nothing nails everything, but the Bostitch RN46-1 3/4-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch COIL Nailer comes close to it. Any construction site is a good place to stop and watch the roofers do their job quickly. A lot of people who work on roofs use a tool called an RN46-1, which is one of the most popular roofing nailers. This little tank is built to last even if the job is hard. Bostitch makes sure by pulling it 75 miles across asphalt shingles in its labs to make sure it works. The RN46-1 is made of magnesium, which is both strong and light. It weighs only 4.8 pounds and has 410 inches of torque, and it comes with unique features like a single-action side-load canister that is easy to load; a dry-fire lockout so it won’t fire when it runs out of nails; carbide inserts where it might touch a work surface; skid-resistant pads; a tool-less shingle guide; and an adjustable-depth dial and an over-molded rubber grip.
DIY roofer for the first time . This is how my house looks now that I’ve put on a roof. Very pleased.
This is good because it costs a lot less than other things. It’s easy to load and powerful. It is also light enough.
Negatives: There is a learning curve to avoid double nailing (minor). High-pitched (expected).
Details.
Because it’s the model that HD rents, I bought this instead of a cheaper model because it’s the same one. The cost of buying was less than renting (long time doing it after work & weekends).
One jam in the whole roof was quickly cleared.
The simple depth adjustment only had to be done once. It was very easy to do.
Bostitch nails were used: They slid right in and fired a lot.
Learning curve: I had to learn how to hold it firmly and move it slowly down and up. 🙂
