What Customers Say About Bostitch N66C-1 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch Coil Siding Nailer with Magnesium Housing:

The tip does not mar the siding and allows for precise location of nails. This gun works great and has no issue putting nails in where there are needed. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a coil siding nailer. I bought this gun to install Hardie cement siding on my house. I am using stainless steel ring-shank coiled nails. It works great and I have no issues with this gun.

I read another review on here about the nails on this being available almost everywhere and I would have to agree, whether your going to your local hardware store or doing the google search online for Bostitch parts, your sure to find something on this one, so yes it is popular and well known. Everything went smoothly and for that I highly recommend the N66C-1 Nailer from Bostitch.Brandon_________________eReplacementPartsPower Tool Parts and Parts Repair We love this Bostitch nailer, especially the magnesium housing because it is so strong and durable. Another good point I would like to mention, is we handle Bostitch parts repair and when handling this nailer, I would have to see it was a good job and very satisfying.

I used to own a Bostich coil framer and I'll bet one of those would do just as well as the N66. What I had to do was set the pressure low enough so that most the nails shoot close to the surface of the siding and then finish them off with a hammer. I installed the single shot trigger when I got it. On one of the forums someone told me I needed more air pressure. Well, after listening to advice on a forum and reading the manual I upped the pressure to 105 psi and adjusted the nail depth all the way up. Also some will miss studs and just strike OSB. I thought it was going to set all nails flush with the surface of the siding.

However, I believe the siding warranty is void if you use a clipped head nail. On the plus side the N66 is a lightweight, well made and easy to handle gun and doesn't require a large volume of air so your compressor doesn't run as much as with a larger gun. I gave it three stars because it was called a siding nailer but mine doesn't perform any differently than my other nailers. I was afraid too much pressure might damage something and they are only 2" nails so I kept the pressure at about 80 psi. Since it's my own house I don't mind the extra time as I think it makes for a tighter lap. I'm sorry if I misled anyone, I should have read the directions. To my suprise when I shot them they were all consistent in depth, about a 1/4" high.

It would be a different story if I were applying siding for a living.

Frankly, I couldn't see how this would be posible since the hardness of studs varies and some nails may hit knots.

Well when using it the nails all vary in in depth, some shoot part way through the siding and some don't go all the way in.

I own four other Bostich guns and I believe I could get just as good of results using a 2 1/2" nail in my stick framer.

I'm still getting an occasional double but considering considering price, warranty and everything else I believe it's a five star now.

Then I adjusted the depth control down until they shot at the desired depth and now they are very consistent.

I bought this gun to nail on fiber cement siding.

I sometimes get doubles.

Maybe it's just mine but I have tried varying the air pressure and the depth adjustment and have never acheived any consistancy in depth control.12/22/09 Gun is working like it should now.

I've used it a lot to install wood fiber cement siding and not once has it jammed or misfired. Overall it is worth every penny. The Bostitch N66 siding nailer is a great product. Very light weight.

Nailer worked great. Bought the nailer to put engineered wood siding on my house (LP Smartside). The depth setting was not quite as straight forward as with the Hitachi but worked well once the desired depth was found.I used 2" and 2 1/2" nails and both worked well.
