Coil Siding Nailer, Pneumatic Siding Nail Gun, 1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch, 15 Degree (N66C)

I had a medium sized area of water damage on the exterior of my house that needed repair. I have cedar shingle siding. I've replaced a few shingles here and there, but only nailed by hand. Due to the size of this project and other future projects (fence rebuild, shed), I wanted to invest in a siding nailer. Being a homeowner/DIY'er, I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a tool that won't see too much action. With most things, not all things, I feel that you get what you pay for. At first, I tried looking for a used siding nailer, but I learned they're hard to come by. So "new" was the only choice at the time. I compared a few different brands and narrowed it down to the Freeman PCN65 Coil Siding Fencing Nailer and the Bostitch. It seemed that the Freeman was on the bottom end, and the Bostitch was in the middle. I obviously went with the Bostitch. This was mainly due to the hit and miss reviews on the Freeman's reliability and quality. Not just on Amazon, but other retailers too. Although the price of the Bostitch is a little bit more than the Freeman (when I purchased), I saw it more as an investment. Plus with most tools, if you take care of them, they will last many, many years. Or if you decided to sell, you could potentially get more return on it. The nailer feels solid, well built, and balanced. It comes with a nice plastic molded case for storage, or transporting. I hung about 50+ shingles with it and had no issues. No jamming. No misfiring. Depth adjustment was easy, and once set, no issues marring or splitting shingles. Loading is easy, I used these Grip Rite Prime Guard Max MAXC62872 15 Degree Wire Coil 1-1/2-Inch by .09-Inch Ring Shank, Stainless Steel Siding Nails 1,200 Per box nails. The hook is super convenient, especially when up on a ladder! It also has two triggers depending on how you want to fire nails. Contact, for rapid bump fire (think like roofers hanging shingles) or sequential fire, for precise placement. Overall happy with the purchase, made the last project move faster. Look forward to more! Only downside is, you'll also have to order a quick connect plug for air, which is a little disappointing, oh well. It would also be nice if they included oil too.

Bought this N66C to put up around 300' of pressure treated fencing. I used this to shoot on the pickets with coils of 2" concrete coated galvanized ring shank nails. This gun worked flawlessly and I saved thou$and$ on my fence. I just let the neighbor use it to build her own fence that matches mine. Her daughter shot on pickets while her sons planted posts and installed cross rails. It turned out nice! if you look at the photos and wonder what the board is at the bottom that the pickets rest on, it is a "rot board" that makes ground contact to keep my pickets from wicking water and rotting. It is PT and can be replaced if/when it rots. This also makes the tops of the pickets perfectly level without trying to line them up using a string line. This method saved TONS of time... well worth the cost of an extra pressure treated 2x4 per fence section (less than $4 per section). The green treatment visible on the picket bottoms is copper naphthenate that I also bought on Amazon

From all reviews online of the best and most expensive siding nailers, the Bostitch N66C is absolutely the #1 best. After completing several projects, I have to agree -- this siding nailer is the best! After driving well over a 2,000 nails, I had ZERO misfires and ZERO jams resulting in this product to be 100% reliable! However, to make sure you are 100% satisfied with this product, READ the instructions. This unit comes shipped with two different triggers, one black and the other grey. The black trigger (the one this unit is installed with as a default) is used for continuous operations; the other trigger (grey) is for sequential operation; i.e.; a nail is driven for each pull of the trigger. First, I changed the black trigger with the gray one due to my preference of driving one nail for each pull of the trigger; and, as a result, I never had a mis-fire, a jam, or firing two nails at once. Furthermore, to make sure this nailer operated properly, I used four to six drops of a high quality light oil to the air input. Next using high quality bicycle chain oil to the external parts; i.e., nail feeder and other external parts of the nailer insured perfect results. Tri-flow is an excellent choice lubricant for the external parts of this nailer. For my projects, I have used nails ranging from 1 1/4 inches to 2 1/2 inches and not once have I had a jam or a mis-fire. Overall, I've NEVER had a better tool than the Bostitch N66C and highly recommend it for durability, dependability, and continuous operation.

I've been eyeing a coil nailer for years, and I finally took the plunge - what a fantastic decision! Installing smart siding was a breeze with this tool, as it worked flawlessly and drove nails in consistently. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of one. Despite the higher cost, I'm thrilled with the purchase. It was delivered promptly and performs exactly as advertised.

Purchased this Bostitch siding nail gun for several pieces of siding that needed replaced. I like everything about this pneumatic nail gun. You are able to set nail depth and the feeder works perfectly. Very easy set-up using Bostitch 2" coil siding nails purchased for the local Menards. Highly recommend this nail gun.

For the price, this is great. I shot about 300 nails in my latest siding job and only two or three were misfires. The hook is large enough to hang it from scaffolding and the gun is light enough that you don't get tired lugging it around. I'd buy again for sure

Hasta el momento todo está muy bien, esperemos continuar asi

I bought this coil nailer as pricing was quite good and delivery was going to be quick. Once I received it I discovered the case that was in the description was not actually included. Reached out to Amazon customer service and they were unable to provide me with the case but provided me the email and phone number to Bostitch Customer service. Just so happened it was the wrong info. This was to their stapler division. My review is positive because despite the missing case the coil nailer is great and Amazon offered me a generous discount on my original purchase price for the description being incorrect and not getting what I ordered. I later read a review and noticed someone else had the same experience as me. Think Amazon should correct the description so no one else has to find out there is no case the hard way.....

I have both this one and a hitatchi. The hitatchi is a much nicer gun, but this gun is perfectly functional. IT is light and it seams to work in the cold just fine. I bought it to have a second gun while doing HARDIE board. It works. IF I was going to be doing HARDIE all the time I would stick with hitatchi, but as a decent second gun or even an occasional primary it is just fine. No complaints. Well built.

i got this nail gun solely because i needed something lighter that a framing coil nailer to do siding great tool, however i much prefer a toggle switch on the tool to quickly change between single shot and bump mode

Made my job go a lot faster now no regrets
