well its time to buy another gun. My senco served me well. only problems I had was the feeder spring breaking every once in a while, but it is a cheap and easy fix. i kinda like the bostich and hitiachi . any suggestions?>>>
i've got another one that i absultly love, light weight and you can go like snot. I might even say HITACHI there silver with alittle green on them, might be better than Bostich...>>>
(NEW BOSTICH/RIDGERUNNER/N-12) -Robby the roofer that model is probably 15 years old,or more the new bostitch RN46 is made of magnesium,and is one of the lightest out there truth to tell,I`ve never had problems with any size nail,after adjusting the magazine to the right height size,a lot of guys don`t adjust the magazine,and have problems because of that>>>
EGG.....I HAVN'T TRIED THE NEW SENCO'S, THE WAY THE ARE BUILT MAY OPERATE SIMILAR TO THE BOSTICH (NEW BOSTICH/RIDGERUNNER/N-12) HAVE DIFFICULTY SHOOTING 3/4 TO 1 INCH...1 1/4 AND HIGHER, NAILS SET BETTER. THEY STOPPED MAKING THE SCN40R (THE ONE WITH THE NOSE CONE/BEAK..IF YOU WILL CALL IT THAT). I ROTATE MY SENCOS AND USE THEM FOR THE SOFFITS OR 3-TAB....PROBLEM IS, THOUGH, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PICK UP THE PACE WHEN USING 1 1/4 ON LAMINATE SHINGLES.....SLOW RE-COIL!>>>
Stanley Bostitch.. for over 20 years now..>>>
The Hitachi blow thru more, than they set the nail properly
toyota of nailguns is a compliment :dry: :S>>>
Leak Medic - Love the line! :laugh: "Its the Toyota of nail guns.">>>
I always preffered Hitachi, roofing and stick nailing>>>
If you aint usin a Hitachi you aint usin the best in the biz. Its the Toyota of nail guns.>>>
Plumb Hatchett works pretty well! lol>>>
there`s a height adjustment for the nails as well,7/8th " nails work just as well as the rest with a bostitch>>>
I'm going to try that Senco on the shorter nails. Thanks for the tip. Gonna try the Bostich too then. Not too happy with the Hitachi guns anymore.>>>
I have 3 Bostich guns and they work fine too, But I have 3 Sencos that work better when it is time to shoot the short nails!>>>
BOSTICH!!!!! :laugh: 8 guns 5 bostich all work fine only 1 of the others works at all.>>>
Well the nose on the porter cable requires you to hold it a certain way,the bostitch gun is angled to the work surface,which means more operator comfort,and speed of install---andthe new guns rn46 are magnesium,and a lot lighter with multiple nailset depths,and a separate attachment for siding--they`ve changed a lot in 10 years->>>
i have a bostitch and a porter-cable. both very good guns never douched the bostitch in10 years. replaced the nose piece on the porter-cable once.the bostitch sets nails great with less air preasure , but is a little heaver .>>>
