Try it before you need it and consistent advice

I have borrowed or rented Bostitch roofing tools in the past. I have quite a few roofing projects on my list for this year so I decided to buy my own. I chose the RN46-1, the price was good and I knew how it worked. (I thought) It came in 2 days, I wasn't ready to use it yet so other than opening the box and seeing it was in place. I'm ready to start my first project this week and I had the compressor going so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, it didn't work, just a slight hiss of air

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Great and reliable tool!

I'm building a garage and the Ridgid R175RNE is always laying around. I took it out, oiled it up and started using it but couldn't get it to sink 1-3/4" HD Galvanized Roofing Nails. Keep that in mind and I have it on Ridgid (One World of Tech ) sent back. I get this nailer from Amazon because I have a nailer bostic and nailer siding and they come ready to use. Some oil. Thing just went to town and hammered nails without blinking. about 3 squares stuck in and jammed once.. I can't blame the gun…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Useful even for everyday use

I know some people don't think it's worth betting on one of these for just a roof, but I love that you can get a nozzle that you can use this on vinyl siding. Normally, when my family does the roof, we can easily get more workers (uncles and grandparents are not cousins because they don't go on the roof -.-) Unfortunately, this time there were usually only two of us, which made me decide to give me this one to get a nailer. I will say that you can take down shingles really quickly with this…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
