Again I am going to highly praise Bostitch nail guns. I am a home builder in the Northeast and use Bostitch guns and only Bostitch. Reliability is reason # 1. They work day in and day out. Reason #2 is the availabilty of nails. Everyone carries Bostitch nails, not the case with other brands. I have 4 of these siding nailers, 2 being the N64c's. I favor the older models because the nose is very easily adjusted. On the 64s you have to use a wrench, loosen 2 nuts, slide the nose, then retighten the nuts. Very time consuming and hard to get an accurate slight adjustment. I can not understand why they made this change. Other than that still a great product. They work great on wood siding, but could work a little better on Hardi-plank cement board. When the pressure is on the low end sometimes doesn't countersink. But, all of the manufacturers have this same problem. If you are going to buy a utilty nailer/siding gun, go for the Bostitch.

I am a contractor that bought this gun last year for nailing on cement plank siding and trim. It worked great, and we never had a problem shooting ring shank nails into the cement board nailing onto old yellow pine framing. I have since used it on all types of wood siding, more cement board, some fencing, and a lot of exterior trim repair. This gun is sturdy and very reliable. Nails for this gun are everywhere in all sizes.
Why not five stars? I would like to see the depth gauge easier to adjust. It takes longer to locate the wrench than to adjust the gun, but once adjusted it stays put. However, most guns that are used for utility purposes now have easy adjustments that don't require any tools. This really should be more of a 4 1/2 stars rating since I like the reliability so much.

This is basically a okay nailer. There are three things that I dislike about this gun. The first is that it does not shoot plastic collated coil nails without a door adapter that is not included and who knows where you can find it. Secondly the depth adjustment requires tools to change so you need to carry a wrench if you need to make adjustments while working (switch nails, fasten into different materials, need to countersink nails instead of flushnailing, or flushnail instead of sinking). Third the air deflector also needs a wrench to move. This can be fixed somewhat by leaving the bolt a little loose but the deflector gets to loose and moves on its own. None of the wrenches are included. It does come with a single shot trigger that eliminates double shots when putting on siding. The gun we got also ended up breaking down after only a box and a half of nails had been through it. I have used and owned other Bostitch tools and have never had problems with break downs except for wornout parts so hopefully the breakdown was an isolated incident.
