Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/RN46-1 3/4-Inch to 1-3/4-Inch Coil Roofing Nailer
Customer Review: A good nailer.
Summary: 4 Stars
A good, re-habbed nailer. Bought it to do my own roof. Jammed twice, but I'm not sure if that was due to the nailer or the nails. Jams cleared easily. It likes LOTS of air pressure, working flawlessly until just before my compressor kicks in at 85 psi. When pressure is close to that 85 psi cut in, it sometimes failed to bump fire, requiring sequential fire. If pressure is 100 or more, it's perfect.Customer Review: Avoid this tool and company

I purchased this reconditioned tool on 12/15/10, I used it for 2 days beginning 1/24/11, and it failed on 1/27/11. It bypasses air, when trigger is pulled, no nail. I called CPO, they no longer honor the 30 day warranty. I called Bostitch Service and they said take it to CO (287 miles away) or send it at my own expense to Louisville, KY. They also said I could take it to a Authorized Dealer in ABQ, NM so they could ship it to KY. I called the number they gave me and it has been disconnected. I looked up the name on the internet, got a different number and have been calling for 2 days, but they do not answer the phone (no message option available). I will never buy from Stanley Bostitch again, and do not recommend this tool.Customer Review: Bad Choice

Amazon did a very nice job of getting me the tool as promised in short order. However I have had nothing but problems with the nailer. The first day it stopped working (not really a jam it just hisses and refuses to shoot a nail) was a weekend with no repair help available, so it was hand nailing for two days. The factory repair shop was prompt. While they acknowledged the nailer would not fire, they tore it apart in front of me and could find no fault. At least I could see it come apart because then as it started to do this more often I could successfully return it to working order in a few minutes. The gun has been torn apart HUNDREDS of times for the same reason. After being torn apart sometimes it would fire for 10-20 nails, the next time it might work for a whole day! The second issue was the trigger mechanism just fell apart. Fortunately I found all the parts and pieces and the repair shop was able to put it back together, but again another hand nailing weekend.
Now that my project is done I would not give this nailer to someone, it would be cruel.

Obviously used but in good condition. Appears to work fine. With the limited use i need this for it was still a better cost than renting.Customer Review: Bostich factory re-conditioned not always the best.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this nail gun in September 2010. I started my roofing job in November 2010, and the gun would not fire. I tried everything I could from the internet trouble shooting to the owners manual trouble shooting guide. I ended up buying a brand new gun from Home Depot for the same price. I was not able to return the gun because I missed the return date. This is not Amazon's fault. I would recommend that if you buy re-conditioned to try it out as soon as you receive it.
