Siding & Roofing Nailer Reviews

Our siding and coil roofing nailer reviews are for the framing and roofing professional who uses it for hours on end. When you work a full day, you can’t use sub-par tools that slow down your progress. You make more money when your tools help you get done more quickly and efficiently. We review both pneumatic roofing nailers as well as cordless gas models. When we do our siding and roofing nailer reviews, we expect the right blend of features and performance. The best tools will hold up to our on-the-job product testing. We test for dry fire lockout, speed of loading coil nails, and ergonomics. When you use a tool on a roof all day long it needs to feel good in the hand while performing consistently and reliably. It also must be able to accurately and repeatedly fire roofing and siding nails into framing material, and roof decking. Out tool reviews involve Pro in the field, utilizing tools on the jobsite or in line with jobsite applications. We attempt to convey how each roofing nailer will perform in the field.

Bosch Coil Roofing Nailer RN175 Review

by Clint DeBoer

Roofing nailers come in many sizes and shapes. Bosch’s Coil Roofing Nailer RN175 provides several advantages that we wanted to test out in the field. By evaluating it in practical use we hoped to see whether this relative newcomer could compete in a market that has been dominated by a relatively small number of stand-out manufacturers for a long time. The attraction of Bosch’s new line of pneumatic tools includes the advanced technology they use in order to eliminate a lot of the volume typically required in order to reset the tool during each firing of the pneumatic piston. In the case of the RN175, we found that while the tool absolutely has less girth than many competing products, the tool still overall has an equivalent heft and bulk to many of its competitors.
