Review on πŸ—οΈ Efficient Roofing Made Easy: Makita AN454 Coil Roofing Nailer by Shane Minter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I really wanted this to work, but.

very much, I think the belt hook with tool is a great bonus. Looks cool and doesn't slide much on the roof but crooked nails and as in another test very uneven nails. Chipouts and hammer hits put this Makita 454 on the not-so-great list. I've spent a lot of time making pressure and depth adjustments, but it's finicky about how hard it is to type. I chose Metabo and am very satisfied. 3 Bostitch 46-1 nailers didn't work, but 1 was better than Makita. I went back and forth with the fast/sequential trigger and it didn't make much of a difference. The hole was also beginning to be dented by the side nails. Damn.

Pros
  • Lightweight design only 5.2 lbs.
Cons
  • boring packaging I like the look of
