Roofing Nailers
Coil Roofing Nailers, Cordless and Pneumatic
Roofing nailers drive short coil nails through shingles and underlayment at a fast, steady pace. This collection covers both power types. Cordless options are the DeWALT DCN45RN 20V MAX 15-degree coil nailer and the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2909, each as tool only or a kit. Pneumatic options include the Makita AN454, Max CN445R, Bostitch RN46-1, Metabo HPT NV45AB2, Porter Cable RN175, and DeWALT DW45RN and DW46RN. Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive systems for roofing tile and metal roofing are listed here too.
What to Look For
- Air or battery. Pneumatic nailers are lighter and fast but need a compressor and hose on the roof. Cordless models skip the hose for repairs and small jobs.
- Nail length. Several pneumatic models are 1-3/4-inch coil roofing nailers, a common size class for shingle work.
- Magazine loading. Side load magazines make coil changes quicker on a pitched roof.
- Shingles or tile. Asphalt shingles take a coil nailer. Tile and metal roofing jobs call for a Quik Drive screw system.

Roofing Nailers FAQ
Can a roofing nailer shoot siding nails?
Some can, but check the nail range first. Roofing coil nails are short with wide heads. For lap siding and trim, a dedicated siding nailer handles the longer, thinner nails.
What is a factory reconditioned nailer?
The Bostitch RN46-1 listing marked factory reconditioned is a returned or refurbished unit restored by the maker. It is the same model as the standard RN46-1 listing.
