Metabo HPT Roofing Nailer, Pneumatic, Coil Roofing Nails from 7/8-Inch up to 1-3/4-Inch, 16 Degree Magazine (NV45AB2)

They're all top-notch. Some have claimed that the change in name resulted in a drop in quality. Nonsense! A nailer saves a lot of time when it comes to shingling a roof. I chose Owing- Corning architectural shingles in a high-wind area where a 6-inch thickness is required There are about 480 nails per square in this nail pattern. I have the ability to bump three nails per second - Actual nailing time per square was slightly more than 2 1/2 minutes. I live in the south central part of New Mexico, where the temperature ranges between 100 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. There are a lot of days with a high temperature. I can withstand the heat at three nails per second. Take a timer and see how long it takes you to nail six roofing nails by hand. This nailer is extremely well balanced, and it weighs in at only 5. It only weighs 5 pounds and is not taxing on the body when used for long periods of time. The center of gravity is at one's hand due to the coiled nails, and there is no discernible fore or aft pressure - resulting in a happy medium br>br>Contrary to one of the comments below, my gun misfired twice in about 2900 bumps. No, jam, there wasn't a nail in the feeder tube (the spool didn't advance). Simply bump once more. The 120-pounder is being loaded. The process of coiling nails is simple, with the first two nails settling into their respective slots. Unlike many pneumatic guns, this nailer allows you to fire sequentially or bump fire without having to make any adjustments. Set the firing head and pull the trigger to fire in a sequential sequence. Pull the trigger and then set the firing head if you want to bump fire. There aren't any more tweaks that need to be made. br>br>This roofing nailer is a well-made, simple-to-use tool that saves a lot of time. Even if used infrequently, it is well worth the $220 USD price tag. I strongly recommend this nailer, which has remained in excellent condition since I purchased my first Hitachi nailer in 2006.

I have an old Chicago pneumatic nailer that has completed three roofs, but when I started working on my roof the other day, it was driving some crooked 7/8 nails, so I decided to replace it. I purchased the Bostitch 46-inch loom. The first is the metabo, and the second is the second. I tried the 46 and it struggled, but it had a lot of features that I liked. I took out the metabo and was not impressed with it either; I thought it was overpriced and didn't perform any better than the bostitch or my 10-year Hf gun, so I returned them both. I placed a second order for the Bostitch 46. 1 knowing how highly they are regarded, I give it another shot. This time it's working well, but an hour after oiling and using it, it begins to act up and eventually jams. I clear it, but it jams again 1 minute later. I also tried a makita, which failed miserably due to inconsistent depths. I returned it and placed a new order for a Metabo and a Bostitch 46. When I return to my bostitch setup, 7/8 is strewn about. There were some good ones, but there were also a lot of crooked and bent heads. The metabo is ejected. and things FINALLY begin to fall into place After finishing my setup and adjusting the depth setting to around 100 psi, I hit pay dirt! A couple of crooked 7/8 but 1 1/4 nails run like clockwork. I tried the bostitch with 1 1/4 nails again and it worked better, but at the same pressure and even starting at 70 and working my way up, I noticed something amazing: the metabo has far less recoil than the bostitch, resulting in less fatigue and more accurate nail placement. I'm up on the roof, and things are going well. I'm pumped, and I'm realizing how easy it is to use and how good the nailing is once again! What a relief to finally have a nail-shooting gun that actually works. It's simple to load, use, and adjust; the first time I tried it, it didn't work out so well, but I'm glad I tried it again because it's now working perfectly!.

The HPT/Metabo/Hitachi guns continue to be the most durable. Occasionally, the bumper or, even more rarely, the piston will fail. They are, however, very simple to swap out.

Pulling the trigger only once and getting two nails out seems wasteful.

I use their nails as well, but this tool is a waste of time. BUYING IS A MISTAKE. When it nails, it's fine, but when it jams, it's a dud. It takes too long because you have to open the nail feeder to fix the jam and hope it nails a few nails before the inevitable jam.

Aside from my personal use of this nailer (which was flawless), a foolish acquaintance borrowed it from me, used it, and then left it outside in the rain and snow for a season. It miraculously continues to function perfectly. 10/10.

So far, it's held up to the original. Two thumbs up, then.
