Review on πŸ”¨ Bostitch N66BC Cap Nailer Model 1 by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well.

I bought this while renovating the roof of my house. Nailing it by hand isn't much fun, so I took it after reading the reviews. I will say that Bostitch got the design right when it comes to the gun's function. I was totally amazed that it worked. I only had one misfire of about 2000 shots. This is a disadvantage. I shot 2000 caps on a 1100 square foot roof. That's probably three times more than if I had nailed it by hand. Hand nailed button caps hold up much better than these, partly due to the design of the plastic caps. You'll see when you get them. If I had to do it again I would still buy this gun so I think it was worth it. It is enough to correctly insert the nails into the caps. I almost fell off the roof when I realized the piece of paper I was standing on was starting to slide out from under me. After that I used more nails and was very careful to make sure the nails were attached properly. If not, I'll shoot again until I'm sure it can support my weight.

Pros
  • Adjustable tool-free hood conveniently directs exhaust gases away from the user
Cons
  • I will add later
