DeWalt DCN45RND Cordless Coil Roofing Nailer Tool Review

[@steveneaton7164]

Your review saved me money and worry. I had already purchased this, was waiting on it and lumber and was having buyers remorse. I was worndering about using a compressor instead. I am doing my own house, and bought this for my roof. After seeing this I realized I can use it for my siding also, perfect. It looks great for me. My wife and I will be slower than a crew and without hoses and such that looks perfect. I will let you know how it does. I have 3800sq ft of roofing to do.

Terrific review. Great content put together in a great format.

Excellent video production. I was not expected this for a tool review. Fantastic job

[@Frosty_2506]

This is the first video I've seen from this channel and that unboxing was so damn cool I just had to subscribe

[@zombieassasin4205]

Amazing review, learned everything I wanted to know, please keep this style of reviews, you’re doing great ! God bless you

[@jksconstructioninc.3396]

Great video bud! Editing is on point. Might grab one? One suggestion, I would personally pull the battery before clearing the jam. One of my guys Had a finish nailer fire on him once, he thought it was off and it popped one across the room. Needless to say we pull the battery out every time no matter what now. Have a great one!

I’m a roofer and I’m getting this for whole roof installs. Tired of hoses and air compressors. Hoses get tangled, stuck, not enough length, or worse which has happened to me, you accidentally step on it and fall. Just carry a few 5ah batteries and your good for the day.

I dont think it will live to do multiple roofs

Killer in boxing edits!

I’m a roofer. Mine has not work consistently for my service repairs and small jobs. I’ve dropped it off twice for servicing at the Dewalt Repair Shop… maybe mine is just a dud. But the pin does not recoil back and constantly jams… very disappointing. I just picked it up again and hopefully it works as designed because the idea of this is great…

[@Lugnutfilms]

Thanks for the feedback! Did it do that from the beginning?

[@justonpreble3119]

@@Lugnutfilms Yes the 1st time I used it was to shingle a small shed for a customer. I ended up doing it by hand because I didn’t have a compressor or air gun on me. It kept jamming up. The the pin would have to be manually pushed back in. I tried it on another repair and it jammed with the 1st nail. So I put it back in the truck. When I had time I eventually dropped it off for servicing. After that I picked it up a few weeks later and didn’t get through even one coil and it jammed up again. Over and over so again packed it back in the truck and took it down for servicing. I just picked it up and have not officially used it on a repair yet. But I tested it on a 2x4 and some OSB and so far so good. But my other 5 guys at 1st wanted one and now it’s a wait and see moment… I’m the Guinea Pig…

It’s what the customer wanted. The structure was all open to the weather inside and out.

Great tool. I may have to pick one of those up for the spring projects like building another greenhouse.

[@Shifty761989]

Cool editing

[@josegustavolopezgodinez5627]

Very creative,informative,and fun video 👍🏼

[@hmtrimworks7148]

At 6:20... The gun does not know what it is nailing into… So whether you’re nailing into studs or sheathing or cardboard it will use the same amount of energy to drive the nail in each application

[@justonpreble3119]

Correct. Which is why it has the depth adjustment wheel.

[@rlapierre1240]

Were you shooting into Hardie board siding?

[@dba2-js7mj]

can I use flat-head screws to replace a shingle? This nailer seems an overkill, and a hammer requires lifting up the shingle above too much and is otherwise less convenient.

[@forcefamilyadventures]

Loved this...absolutely loved it.

[@quintinmaloney556]

I bought one and also the vinyl siding tip adapter from "winter siding tips" I am extremely happy using it for my vinyl applications...great video bud!

[@Lugnutfilms]

Thank you!

[@MrRerod]

For a home owner who needs to roof and side his home, is the cordless good enough? Or should I buy a compressor and get the pneumatic version DW45RN?

[@Lugnutfilms]

I found the cordless one very useful.

[@raiviskalnins4987]

I have a question . Today getted nu New nail gun . How I can use bump mode. I can’t figure out

[@maxzheng9782]

Hi, mate, does this coil nailer use regular coil nails like paslode coil nails? Thanks.

thank you for this video!!

[@alfrejaime]

what about big battery .?

[@HtownPallets]

Any of these good for pallet nailing 2 1/4 ? No access to air....

[@robalan57]

The longest nail you can use is 1 3/4. It also may not have enough power to get through thick wood.

[@erikgibson5996]

Any idea how to fix after a two nail jam? Got the jam out now a solid light just comes on the back when I try to use it. Tried clearing everything taking out battery resetting ..any idea how to get light to turn off?

[@Lugnutfilms]

Did you pull the black lever on the very top of the gun?

[@erikgibson5996]

@@Lugnutfilms yes pull the back lever. Tried placing screwdriver on the front safety while pulling the lever. Made sure was clear of any wire from the coils. Pretty much did everything I could without taking the thing apart. Try different batteries. When I press the trigger the solid light comes on and stays solid won't do nothing from there..

[@Lugnutfilms]

Has the drive pin completely retracted?

[@erikgibson5996]

@@Lugnutfilms yeah, I took a screwdriver and easily pressed it to where it is seated all the way back. I'm pretty sure that it is anyhow. It's been about 2 weeks of trying to figure this damn thing out with no luck..

[@Lugnutfilms]

Have you tried calling Dewalt?

[@mosestoledo9184]

Can you use this as a metal connector nailer?

[@bradworkman5142]

No

[@enfelice]

The tool weighs 3.48 kgs/7.69 lbs when assembled. That would be a hard pass for most people regarding the belt hook option.

[@tricountyroofingcompany8614]

Does it use any coil roofing nails???

[@Lugnutfilms]

it should

[@noname-ge3tz]

putting the siding on without house wrap or tar paper... your more movie star than builder

[@Lugnutfilms]

That’s what the customer wanted.

[@DanielinLaTuna]

It’s a roofing nailer; why are you installing siding?

[@mikeknutson415]

Got your text and just subscribe to your channel I had no idea you even had this channel you guys take care.... I can't give you a thumbs-up because KZbin messed with me and blocked my ability to give a thumbs-up

[@jgbelmont]

30% more speed and a pound lighter and it would be perfect. Maybe someday they will perfect it.

[@jeremydipietro5]

If anyone has any tips hook a brutha up

[@ThomasNetzer]

thought that the gun was going to be great until it started to jam and jam had to send it back in less then getting a box of coil nails thru the gun to dewalt not 1 but twice disapointed with the product paying over $ 400.00 not worth what i got

[@MrMaxggangster]

Why is this so cinematic?

[@Lugnutfilms]

Why not?

[@alexdenton1073]

Cutting corners but not digits😎

[@kc0lif]

2 ah battery should least 9 ah

[@joeyknuckelz]

I purchased the same model and it sucked! It would shoot two nails at once, it would not shoot every 10 or twenty shots and it would also jam every twenty or so nails. I used the recommended dewalt nails correct size. A huge waste of time and money. First of the coil nails are a bad design, the gun is very heavy, and you will spend more time fixing it than using it.

[@Lugnutfilms]

Sounds like there is a manufacturing defect. We never had any of those issues.

[@davidlysohirka798]

Not quick for us roofers.. .should be called siding gun that can be used for 1 product! Lol!

[@Lugnutfilms]

It’s good enough for punch list stuff.

[@davidlysohirka798]

I use alot of dewalt tools.....not many complaints......what are you referring to as 'punch list stuff'?

[@Lugnutfilms]

Obviously for the professional roofer this would not be a good option. BUT if you have a small repair job I think it would be enough not to mention it’s other uses like a siding nailer.

[@kenwindsoron1399]

Might be ok on repairs for us fat old roofers 😁

[@Lugnutfilms]

😆

[@kenwindsoron1399]

No house wrap no aluminum on centre of joints ..... cmon man if your going to use the tools do it right bro 😎

[@sandboundchris]

I was thinking the same. No window flashing, no building paper and 30 shiners in a row.
