Best coil nailer??

well its time to buy another gun. My senco served me well. only problems I had was the feeder spring breaking every once in a while, but it is a cheap and easy fix. i kinda like the bostich and hitiachi . any suggestions?>>>

Bostitch sets the nails best, hands down,and uses less pressure to do it-Been using them since nailguns arrived on the scene,and they keep getting better>>>

MAXsuperroofer:2 years and no problems.>>>

the supermax uses what 3-400 lb.s of air pressure,and is more expensive--The bostitch RN46 STILL COST LESS THAN $300,AND mANY OF MY BOSTITCHES HAVE LASTED 10-20 YEARS>>>

If you have a "Senco SCN40R", with the nose cone/beek. Keep it operational and use it to shoot 3/4, 7/8 and 1 inch coil nails as they will seat correctly when using a combo of proper air pressure and depth gauge. The only problem is that the longer the nail, the slower the recoil, also you cannot shoot 1 3/4 coil nails.

To shoot 1 1/4 and up, use the new Bostich. With proper air pressure/depth gauge, you can get a good install on the nails. PROBLEM.....the gun only gauges 5 1/2 instead of the standard 5 5/8 (for the non-carpenters' pattern users). Very difficult to use on 3-tab

Any other coil nail on the market has been manufactured for speed...as this is the demand from majority of the roofers in the country....that is why "SENCO" stopped making the "SCN40R" becuse it was not as fast as it's competitors.

I use these two guns regularly for every roof I do and feel really good about my installation practice when I finish the job.>>>

We don`t use the guage whatsoever,but snap lines every 4th course,and I believe go at higher rates of speed because of it,the bostitch works great ,and also has adjustments for when you want the nails to stick out a bit,like for edge metal,we set it and the nails don`t blast thru the metal,and we just tap the nails in the rest of the way,same for the laps on ice and water shield ;)>>>

i have a bostitch and a porter-cable. both very good guns never douched the bostitch in10 years. replaced the nose piece on the porter-cable once.the bostitch sets nails great with less air preasure , but is a little heaver .>>>

Well the nose on the porter cable requires you to hold it a certain way,the bostitch gun is angled to the work surface,which means more operator comfort,and speed of install---andthe new guns rn46 are magnesium,and a lot lighter with multiple nailset depths,and a separate attachment for siding--they`ve changed a lot in 10 years->>>

BOSTICH!!!!! :laugh: 8 guns 5 bostich all work fine only 1 of the others works at all.>>>

I have 3 Bostich guns and they work fine too, But I have 3 Sencos that work better when it is time to shoot the short nails!>>>

I'm going to try that Senco on the shorter nails. Thanks for the tip. Gonna try the Bostich too then. Not too happy with the Hitachi guns anymore.>>>

there`s a height adjustment for the nails as well,7/8th " nails work just as well as the rest with a bostitch>>>

Plumb Hatchett works pretty well! lol>>>

If you aint usin a Hitachi you aint usin the best in the biz. Its the Toyota of nail guns.>>>

I always preffered Hitachi, roofing and stick nailing>>>

Leak Medic - Love the line! :laugh: "Its the Toyota of nail guns.">>>
