Bostitch RN46-1 Coil Roofing Nailer – Fast Reloading 3/4-inch to 1-3/4-inch Roofing Nail Gun

Overview

The Bostitch RN46-1 Coil Roofing Nailer blends robust performance with thoughtful comfort, making it a reliable companion for roofing, exterior drywall, insulation board, and fiber cement tasks. Its magnesium housing keeps the tool light enough for maneuvering across sloped surfaces, while a carbide nosepiece and wear guards help it stand up to abrasive job sites. With a side-loading canister that slides in with a single action, and a generous magazine capacity, this nailer is designed to minimize interruptions so you can focus on the job.

Key features are engineered for efficiency and control. The RN46-1 offers tool-less depth-of-drive adjustments across five settings, a zero nail lock-out to prevent dry firing, and a high-capacity magazine that holds up to 120 coil nails. A precise, integrated shingle gauge supports consistent spacing, helping you achieve tidy, uniform results on large or detailed installations alike.

Two firing methods expand its versatility: contact trip for broad coverage on roofing projects, and sequential trip for high-precision work such as finish tasks. Whether you're laying down shingles, securing vapor barriers, or installing siding, the RN46-1 provides dependable drive quality and speed without sacrificing comfort.
