Description of Porter-Cable RN175A 7/8-Inch to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer

Designed for use with 15-degree, 3/4- to 1-3/4-inch wire collated roofing nails, the RN175A nailer from Porter-Cable handles a wide variety of roofing and siding projects with ease. With a magazine capacity of 120, and two firing modes (single sequential and contact), this handy tool resists jams, loads quickly and easily, and is compact and comfortable to hold thanks to its rounded body and rubber grip. Its efficient motor features an exhaust diffuser that you can adjust without the need for additional tools, as well as a durable steel safety contact with dual carbide inserts to guard against wear and tear. For seamless transitions from restrictive to contact mode, there's also a selectable trigger, and the shingle guide locks down for consistent results.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable RN175A 7/8-Inch to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer

Customer Review: Exceptional Roofing Nailer
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this nail gun based on my previous experience with the quality of Porter-Cable pneumatic tools. Aside from this one I own 4 other Porter-Cable nail guns, I have been very satisfied with all of them.

This nailer is no disappointment. In the time I have owned it I have used it for installing asphalt shingles, tar paper, aluminum drip end, vinyl siding, and vinyl trim pieces. It has performed very well in all instances. It has ample power to drive 1.75" nails flush while performing roofing applications.

The adjustable depth of drive also proves very useful while installing vinyl siding. Setting it to the minimum depth setting allows you to drive the nails into the nailing slots in siding while still leaving the 1/16" gap necessary to allow the siding to expand and contract under changes in temperature.

While using this nailer I have never experienced a jammed nail, it has always performed flawlessly. The only negative I can see in this nail gun is that it does not have marks on the nose to indicate exactly where the nail will be placed. This makes precise placement of the nail slightly difficult. I don't think this is enough of a negative point to reduce this nail gun from its "5 star" status because I very easily solved the problem by making marks of my own with a silver colored permanent marker.
