Review of the Bostitch RN46 Nailgun

The RN46 Roofing Nailer is lightweight so you can easily take it on any job anywhere. This cool pneumatic nailer works well for a lot of different nailer applications not roofing, including for instance insulation board and fiber cement. So this nailgun is ideal for either a homeowner or professional.The Bostitch RN46 is recognised as being pretty powerful it will deliver 410 inch/pounds of power at 100 PSI. It gives you 2 operating modes - sequential, or a bump fire allowing you to shoot over 100 nails a minute. To make life a bit easier the nailgun has a big nail cartridge which is easy and quick to reload.And the drive adjustment dial means that you can alter the depth according to the wood type. And it has 5 different depth settings, so you will easily establish the ideal depth for each task. And since the nailer holds a useful 120 coil nails you can work steadily without pausing to reload. The nailgun will take nails with a diameter of .120 and lengths between ¾ of an inch to 1-3/4 of an inch.A magnesium body means that the weight is kept as low as possible and at the offers a tough casing in order to protect the interior. The built in wear guards, and other extras keep it in good working order.In the USA, Bob from Springfield has this to say about his Bostitch:"I purchased the nail gun about three weeks ago. I am a foreman on a flat roofing crew who shingles on the weekends and on a few jobs that shingles are required. Last weekend I used the gun to shingle a 18sq ranch and was very enthused about how the gun ran. The gun never skipped, misfired, or jammed. I then took it to work to finish a shingle job on a 62sq roof. I dont like to use my own personal equipment on company time, but the way that the gun performed I knew that it would make the job that much easier. The light weight of the gun made the accuracy phenomenal and effortlessly quick. I had one jam while doing the ridge vent, which was easily fixed in 5 sec. The gun never had any other problem. This gun made shingling a joy."Just like other nailer reviews, we also agree that the RN46 is a good and affordable Roofing Nailer. And you can have confidence that the tool will last, since it comes with a 7 year warranty.
