Features
Product Description
Bostitch RN46-1 Roof Nailer is an appropriate tool for external drywall, roofing, fiber cement applications, and insulation board because of its lightweight and sturdy design.
It is a must-have tool for builders, roofers, professional construction workers, and anyone else looking for long-lasting coil nailer performance. It has a unique zero nail lock-out, side-loading canister, aggressive performance, and simple depth of drive adjustments.
Powerful and Accurate Nail Delivery
The RN46-1 can deliver 410 in./lbs of pressure at 100 pressure, which is incredible. It can strike up to more or less 100 nails for each minute with contact trip firing. When working on huge surfaces, such as roofs, the bouncing action of contact trips is ideal. It also has a built-in, tool-less gauge for controlling shingle spacing when doing roof work.
Get the Right Depth for the Job
The inbuilt depth dial on the RN46-1 enables quick and easy depth-of-drive adjustments without the use of any tools. Dial settings include countersinking and flush-mount driving for a wide range of driving depths and applications.
High-Capacity, Quick-Load Magazine Reduces Downtime
The RN46-high-capacity 1’s magazine carries up to 120 nails, reducing downtime. In order to use this nailer, you must use nails with a length of 3/4 to 1-3/4 inches and a shank diameter of 0.120.
When the mag is empty, a zero nail lock-out function prevents dry fire, and it also shows when reloading is necessary. An additional benefit of this nail gun is the use of a single-action side-load canister, which makes it simple to load nails. It’s as simple as sliding the mag door open, loading a replacement set of nails, and closing the magazine door.
Designed for Comfort and Durability
To ensure long-term use, this nailer is made of aluminum that is aircraft-grade. This nailer is also comfortable on your arms because it is made of aluminum, which is lightweight.
There are wear pads to prevent damage caused by operating on rough surfaces as well as a carbide insert in the nosepiece.
In any conditions, the over-molded grip offers optimal comfort and grip. That means that this roofing nailer can be used for a wide range of applications, both inside and out — including external drywall, vapor barrier installation, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, composition roofing, etc.
Review
The RN46 Roofing Nailer from Bostitch delivers 410 inches/pounds of force at under 100 pounds per square inch of pressure. A bump fire system, which can fire nails at a rate of over 100 per minute, is an option on the roofing nailgun’s two firing modes. You’ll like the Rn46’s high magazine capacity and the ease with which it can be reloaded at those speeds.
The inbuilt drive adjustment dial makes it simple to find the ideal depth for any type of wood or project. You won’t have any trouble choosing the appropriate depth with the 5 different options.
The Bostitch RN46 Roofing Nailer can carry 120 coil nails, so you can keep working without interruption. To be used with the nailgun, you’ll need nails with a.120-inch diameter and a length ranging from 34 inches to 1-3/4 inches.
When your magazine runs out, the dry fire lockout protects the tool from being overworked. The user can also see the remaining number of nails on a side view display. Because of the magazine’s innovative side loading mechanism, even your grandma could fill it with more nails.
They weigh less because they are made of magnesium, but they are also built to withstand a lot of wear and tear in the construction area. Wear skid pads, guards, and a carbide nose piece are all included as standard features, so you can count on them to last for many years. In the box, there are no extras.
Conclusion
In the event you’re a roofer, you may want to consider the Bostitch RN46. The seven-year warranty ensures that this instrument will serve you well for a long time to come. The ultra-lightweight and well-balanced design is a major plus.
Most local hardware stores carry acceptable nails, which is a great plus. Generally speaking, we’re pleased with the nail gun. Bostitch was a little on the cheap when it came to the air fitting, but that’s not unusual. This is a fantastic deal, and we’re happy to recommend it.
