Questions and Answers for Husky Pneumatic 15-Degree 1-3/4 in. Coil Roofing Nailer

A:  No, you won't need a lubricant system for small jobs. I re-shingled my entire roof (16 squares...48 bundles) and garage with this nailer and a 6 gal "central pneumatic" pancake compressor. Both held up to the task and performed as advertised with out any maintenance during the task. That's not to say it wouldn't benefit from routine oiling though. The manufacturer recommends 2-3 drops be added to the air inlet after long periods of use or if you so wish, an oiler system can be installed.

A:  I roofed my garage and my parent’s garage without adding oil. I had no problems at all.

A:  No, the lubrication system is not required, that is the "optimal" set up. The vast majority of users will add a few drops of pneumatic oil (detergent free) right through the air hose fitting on the nailer. We recommend a few drops every 1,000 nails or so, or if the nailer has sat idle for a period of time.

A:  No lubricator needed. Just a few drops needed daily before use .

A:  You shouldn't need a lubricator ststem. Just add drops of oil as recommended in the manual.

A:  You don't need a lubricator system; just add 4 to 5 drops of pneumatic oil through the air hose connector.

A:  This will handle up to a 1.75 nail, so if Hardie calls for a longer nail than this, then no.

A:  As long as you used galvanized nails. I would also try to get them as ring formed.

A:  Oil is supplied with nailer. Additional oil can be purchased wherever air tools are sold.

A:  The nailer comes with a sample bottle of oil, but you can purchase any brand of non-detergent blend pneumatic oil. It is carried in Home Depot next to the nail guns or you you can purchase online here: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-oz-Air-Tool-Oil-HDA10800AV/100047286

A:  Pretty much any collated 15 degree roofing nail.

A:  I use the Grip Rite nail coil from Home Depot.

A:  All the nailers and staplers you find are good for multiple applications. It all depends on the materials you're using. The coil nailer is primarily for roofing and siding. It does give you the options of standard or galvanized, and straight or ring shank, but the lengths available are limited. If you check the length of nails or staples the tool uses and the type and specific length of nail or staple you'll need, It would be easier for you to make your choice.

A:  You could in theory but the head of the nails are large and would show on the finished fence badly not to mention when they rusted the staining of your fence would be extensive. I recommend a siding nailer with some aluminum nails or even a framing nailgun with galvanized 8d nails will work the best for you.

A:  I don't see why not... I'm going to try it pretty soon on a fence myself.

A:  This is a roofing nailer, however roofing nailers are quite often used for other applications such as siding. Please refer to your siding manufacturers installation instruction manual for the correct type of fastener to use so you don't void the warranty on your siding product.

A:  This gun is made specifically for shingles and sideing.
