I laid about 5000 square of roof with the older (heavier) Bostitch roofing nailers, and never had a problem with the guns - you just had to remember to add a drop of oil each day in the air inlet and the guns would last years. I am out of the roofing business for about 10 years, but if I were to go back in it, I would spend the money on a Bostitch any day.
I have received the product to do a roofing job that is scheduled, but not begun. However,the ordering process was great.Thanks There isn't much to write. So I cannot comment on the performance.
This product is what I expected and I am very happy with the service, delivery, and price that I received. With the vinyl siding attachment it will perform as a dual nailer.
It does through the occasional double but not too often. Have had and used it 6 months now and love it to death. I have bought the vinyl siding adapter and am going to try it this summer.
I've seen a couple of bad reviews on this gun. these guns are very lightweight and easy to use. to avoid any hassles make sure you buy the right roofing nails to match this gun. I bought a couple of the Bostitch RN46 roofing guns reconditioned on ebay >:> hehee about a year ago for $150.00 each. so good luck to all and go nutz. the quick ajust depth setting knob on the gun is a great asset to have so you don't have to go up & down the ladder to fiddle with the air compressor psi gauge.
I've had these guns for about a year now and never had any problems yet. I work in interior & exterior home improvement in the Jersey Shore area. I use them from time to time on small projects like home & garge addition roofs and some small shed re-roofs etc. they could have bought lemons or may have tried to use other types/brands of nails that have the plastic or metal coating connectors that don't jive with this gun and that could have caused the gun to jam and misfire maybe too.
