My 4 Dewalt nailers have been through about 70 roofs now with no problems at all. The unit is nice, reasonably priced, and very durable. I also use Porter-cable, Hitachi, Rigid (worst BY FAR), Bostich, and Paslode. If I was to rate it, the only nailer I would put ahead of it is the Hitachi, but it is double the price.

Well, I needed a roofing gun. Mind you, I try not to do too much roofing but I ran across a couple of roofing projects that I couldn't pass up. So I said "Jim, you need a roofing gun!" I haven't owned one since my old Bostich Ridge Runner.

I bought the Dewalt. Good price. It doesn't love the 1 3/4" nails I used on the first job (a roof over). Then again, it is January in Maine. The next job was a strip and shingle over 1" barn boards with 1 1/4" nails. Not as bad, still not perfect. It seems like the gun just doesn't want to set every nail the same. I did a lot of hand setting of the nails that wouldn't seat. Never a jam, though. I would buy it again, but maybe not if I did roofing every day.

had a big roof to do and did'nt think i needed a air tool for shingles, i have done them by by hand for over 20 years. i saw dewalt was haveing a combo nail gun and radio for a far price, well i thought why not, i can always return them if i did,nt like it. the dewalt air roofing gun was light, fast and so smooth, no jams, it was great. i loved it and i'll never swing a roofing hammer again.........

I purchased two of these Dewalt roofing nailers, just about 3 weeks ago. So far, each gun has approximately 3000 nails through them, and already some very negative things have happened. First of all, both nailers have a double shot problem, that seems to be very consistant. I would say that about every 15th nail, has to be pounded in with a hammer, and about every 20th shot, is a double nail, which also has to be pounded in with a hammer. Not very efficient at all. I have tried both trigger assemblies, and it does not matter which one is used. If you are considering a roofing nailer, the only one I recommend is Bosch. I have a couple of these, and both have 15000+ nails through them, with only one misfire (due to a bad nail). Spend a little more and get a Bosch.

I bought this nailer to put shingles on my rather large roof...33 squares and it worked like a champ. I had to crank the pressure up to about 110 psi as I was shooting in 1-3/4" nails. This tool sure saved me a lot of time and the roof turned out great. This is certainly a great investment and it worked flawlessly for me. Highly recommended!

I got a bad one it would not pull the next nail into the chamber. Also its much harder to load than a Bostitch. The warranty is only 3 yrs and the Bostitch is 7. I took mine back and purchased a Bostitch.

At first, had a tough time completely setting 1 3/4" nails through second layer of shingles. Increased compressor pressure to 100 and had no more problems. Only one misfire in well over 10,000 nails so far. I occasionally bump the trigger lock when picking up the gun which is slightly annoying. A few other guns I've used are easier to load coils, but this is not a big deal compared to the very reasonable price. More than happy with this purchase.

I have nothing but good to say about the Dewalt D51321 Roofing Nailer that I purchased a couple of months ago. I just finished a 41 square roof with not one nail jam. That is approximately 9000 nails ran through the gun. I am not a professional roofer but with this gun I could get there. The easy pressure adjustments and rapid fire feature make this item a perfect fit for any amature or professional roofer. Plus you will not find this item cheaper anywhere else. I know, I have searched the net for hours looking. Thanks again Amazon.com for your great prices and excellent service.

I was pleased with the nailer, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I could never get it to work properly with the sequential trigger installed. It works flawlessly with the bump trigger installed.

Out of the box I started nailing with the Dewalt D51321
Loaded it with nails and started shooting, no adjustments,amazing.
Recommend this gun. Henry
