Hope to not have to use it for at least 20 years. No problems encountered. I needed to shingle a large roof and this nail handled the job with no fuss. Easy to adjust for nail size and shingle guide.
I don't know how it would hold up for someone who had to use it everyday to put food on the table though (it felt a little flimsy). For the price, it was definitely a good buy for me. Again, I don't know if that's from the nails I was using, my technique, or the tool itself.
I bought this to roof a shed (2 squares) and to use when I get around to re-roofing my garage. I also had a few misfires when the nails didn't feed properly. First off, I'm not a roofer.
These were easy to fix, but an aggravation. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Its pretty simple to operate.
I had a few of nails that didn't set completely, but I think that was more from my learning curve with the tool, than the tool itself.
i switched triggers before i used it to make it fire only when i pulled the trigger. only had a few nails that didn't go in the whole way, but from what i hear that is the case with most roofing nailers. bought this a month or two ago for a small roofing job on my house. couldn't get the hang of it that way so i put the bump trigger back on and it worked like a charm. if you're lokking for a tool to make your roofing projects go smoothly, give this one a try. at $142 new in box i couldn't pass it up. finally got to use it today and it worked great.
I know, I have searched the net for hours looking. The easy pressure adjustments and rapid fire feature make this item a perfect fit for any amature or professional roofer. Plus you will not find this item cheaper anywhere else. I have nothing but good to say about the Dewalt D51321 Roofing Nailer that I purchased a couple of months ago. Thanks again Amazon.com for your great prices and excellent service. That is approximately 9000 nails ran through the gun. I just finished a 41 square roof with not one nail jam. I am not a professional roofer but with this gun I could get there.
First of all, both nailers have a double shot problem, that seems to be very consistant. I have tried both trigger assemblies, and it does not matter which one is used.
I have a couple of these, and both have 15000+ nails through them, with only one misfire (due to a bad nail). If you are considering a roofing nailer, the only one I recommend is Bosch.
I purchased two of these Dewalt roofing nailers, just about 3 weeks ago. Not very efficient at all.
Spend a little more and get a Bosch. So far, each gun has approximately 3000 nails through them, and already some very negative things have happened.
I would say that about every 15th nail, has to be pounded in with a hammer, and about every 20th shot, is a double nail, which also has to be pounded in with a hammer.
