  • Our take on the Bostitch RN46-1

    The Bostitch RN46-1 is a pneumatic coil roofing nailer built for asphalt shingle work, siding and sheathing. It drives 0.120-inch wire-collated roofing nails from 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches and holds a 120-nail coil, so you reload less often on a roof. Its adjustable depth and shingle-exposure gauge help keep courses even, and the lightweight aluminum body is easier to handle overhead than bulkier framing-style nailers. Roofing crews and remodelers rate it as a dependable, hard-hitting tool; the main trade-offs are its air-hose dependence and the maintenance a pneumatic tool needs.

    What reviewers say

    Roofers and remodelers generally describe the RN46-1 as a reliable, hard-hitting coil nailer that holds up to daily shingle work. Complaints center on air-line dependence and occasional jams or wear parts rather than driving power.

    • WeightPraisedUsers find it manageable for extended overhead nailing.
    • JamsCriticisedSome report jams when nails are loaded carelessly or collation is poor.
    • MaintenanceMixedOiling and O-ring wear are routine, and some owners find upkeep more frequent than expected.
    • Air hoseCriticisedBeing tethered to a compressor limits movement on the roof.

    Questions and answers

    What nail sizes does the RN46-1 take?
    It drives 0.120-inch-diameter coil roofing nails from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches long. The 120-nail coil fits standard wire-collated roofing nails.
    Does it need a compressor?
    Yes. It is a pneumatic tool and needs a compressed-air supply and hose. It will not run on batteries or gas.
    Can it be used for siding or fencing?
    It can drive nails into sheathing and some siding, but it is built around roofing nails and shingle exposure. For finish trim, use a dedicated finish nailer.
    How do I set shingle exposure?
    The tool has an adjustable shingle gauge that sets how far each course overlaps the one below. Set it before you start nailing and check the first few courses.
    Is it worth it over a cheaper coil nailer?
    It is a proven, widely serviced design with good depth control and a large magazine. If you nail roofs regularly, that reliability matters more than saving on a no-name tool.
    What maintenance does it need?
    Oil it before each use as the manual directs, keep the magazine and feed clean, and watch for worn O-rings. Replace worn parts promptly to avoid jams.
