Review on πŸ”¨ BOSTITCH BRN175A Coil Roofing Nailer: Precision and Power for Efficient Roofing by Roberto Manzer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth the money for a DIY enthusiast

Built a shed with it before. She just stuck once and knocked out a nail to the side. It's powerful, even too powerful. I only used it on the lightest setting and it blew right through the pebbles a couple of times. I was hoping I could use this to secure the felt as well, but it's a no-brainer even if you reduce the compressor pressure to 40psi. ). A few annoyances that I think you need to spend more money to fix: 1. It doesn't have a magnet or anything to hold the final nail, which almost always falls out as a reset cue of sorts. It has no dry fire barrier. All in all it worked and I don't regret the purchase.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
