Great Tool
bought this a month or two ago for a small roofing job on my house. at $142 new in box i couldn't pass it up. finally got to use it today and it worked great. i switched triggers before i used it to make it fire only when i pulled the trigger. couldn't get the hang of it that way so i put the bump trigger back on and it worked like a charm. only had a few nails that didn't go in the whole way, but from what i hear that is the case with most roofing nailers. if you're lokking for a tool to make your roofing projects go smoothly, give this one a try.

Roofing Nailer
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.

Not Impressed
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.

Great price! I can appreciate the lightweight body and ease of use. I don't like the plastic trigger though. The rubber skids on the sides of the gun are a good idea to prevent shingle injury. Also, the exhaust should be more easily adjustable. So far I am pretty satisfied with this gun, although at the end of each coil my gun has about a 90% ratio of shooting the last nail. I've had no problems with double shots unless I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing.

Dewalt D51321 roofing nailer
We were going to buy a nailer from Harbor Freight, but they did not offer a budget nailer (under $100) for 11 guage, 1 3/4" nails. After some online shopping, we decided to go ahead and spend a little more money to buy this Dewalt nailer from Amazon. We are using it to overlay new shingles over old on our house. So far, the nailer works well and we are pleased with this purchase.
