BOSTITCH N66C-1 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch Coil Siding Nailer

Hasta el momento todo está muy bien, esperemos continuar asi

Never even opened the box, realized it’s NOT for vinyl siding. This is more of a FYI review if your looking for a siding nailer for vinyl. Nail heads are too small. You need a coil roofing nailer with a vinyl siding attachment. Cheers. Nice nail gun though. So an uneducated 5 stars.

Built a cedar fence using stainless steel nails with this nail gun . I used a small pancake compressor and it fired perfectly . Don’t forget to oil it !

I have both this one and a hitatchi. The hitatchi is a much nicer gun, but this gun is perfectly functional. IT is light and it seams to work in the cold just fine. I bought it to have a second gun while doing HARDIE board. It works. IF I was going to be doing HARDIE all the time I would stick with hitatchi, but as a decent second gun or even an occasional primary it is just fine. No complaints. Well built.

I had a medium sized area of water damage on the exterior of my house that needed repair. I have cedar shingle siding. I've replaced a few shingles here and there, but only nailed by hand. Due to the size of this project and other future projects (fence rebuild, shed), I wanted to invest in a siding nailer. Being a homeowner/DIY'er, I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a tool that won't see too much action. With most things, not all things, I feel that you get what you pay for. At first, I tried looking for a used siding nailer, but I learned they're hard to come by. So "new" was the only choice at the time. I compared a few different brands and narrowed it down to the Freeman PCN65 Coil Siding Fencing Nailer and the Bostitch. It seemed that the Freeman was on the bottom end, and the Bostitch was in the middle. I obviously went with the Bostitch. This was mainly due to the hit and miss reviews on the Freeman's reliability and quality. Not just on Amazon, but other retailers too. Although the price of the Bostitch is a little bit more than the Freeman (when I purchased), I saw it more as an investment. Plus with most tools, if you take care of them, they will last many, many years. Or if you decided to sell, you could potentially get more return on it. The nailer feels solid, well built, and balanced. It comes with a nice plastic molded case for storage, or transporting. I hung about 50+ shingles with it and had no issues. No jamming. No misfiring. Depth adjustment was easy, and once set, no issues marring or splitting shingles. Loading is easy, I used these Grip Rite Prime Guard Max MAXC62872 15 Degree Wire Coil 1-1/2-Inch by .09-Inch Ring Shank, Stainless Steel Siding Nails 1,200 Per box nails. The hook is super convenient, especially when up on a ladder! It also has two triggers depending on how you want to fire nails. Contact, for rapid bump fire (think like roofers hanging shingles) or sequential fire, for precise placement. Overall happy with the purchase, made the last project move faster. Look forward to more! Only downside is, you'll also have to order a quick connect plug for air, which is a little disappointing, oh well. It would also be nice if they included oil too.
