Overview
The Bostitch BRN175A is a coil roofing nailer that runs on compressed air rather than a battery, built to drive coil nails for shingle and roofing work.
Coil roofing nailers like the BRN175A load a canister of nails around the magazine instead of a straight strip, so they hold many more fasteners between reloads, which matters when nailing an entire roof deck. Because it runs off shop air rather than a battery, there is no charge time or cell to wear out, but a compressor and hose are needed on site.
- Pneumatic coil roofing nailer
- No battery required
- Bostitch model BRN175A
- Built for roofing nail work
Who it's for
Fits roofers and contractors who already have a compressor and need a coil-fed nailer for shingle or roofing nail work. Not a fit for anyone without air supply on hand, or who wants a cordless battery-powered nailer.
Pros and cons
- Coil magazine holds more nails than strip nailers
- No battery to charge or replace
- Bostitch brand for roofing nail guns
- Requires a compressor and air hose to operate
Performance notes
Being air powered rather than battery driven, the BRN175A fires as long as the compressor keeps pressure up, with no runtime limit from a battery, though it needs a hose tethered to the tool while working.
