BRAND NEW DeWalt 20V Battery Powered Coil Roofing Nailer: Toolsday
I am excited about this brand new DeWalt 20V battery powered coil roofing nailer. This is Model Number DCN45RND1 and was just released. This is by no means going to be a direct replacement for your pneumatic roofing nailer, but the beauty is the potential for so much more across the construction site.
As you saw in the video demo, I will be using this nailer mainly to install metal trims, soffit, Versetta Stone, and many other applications yet to be discovered. As always, I will continue to use this on site, and you can follow along over on Instagram @rrbuildings.

This has been on site for the last couple days and is awesome! Are you guys excited for this? Will you be getting one? Purchase one here from AcmeTools if interested https://shrsl.com/2c1gq
I think this will be used for more things that require or use coil nails, like some types of siding, and even setting windows, more than shingles
The biggest area we noticed was the feed mechanism. You noted it in your video that it felt chincy and it is. In any new product you will have to work out some problems but for $400 plus dollars I feel they could have done better. That wind up noise also would drive me bonkers.
Dewalt is so chintzey in general……plus their electronics in their tools aren’t potted either like Makita and Milwaukee so the dirt, dust, and water that you see on the daily destroys em. That wind up is so annoying I’d end up throwing it off the roof hahahaha
Exactly
It will be perfect I think for that
Its seriously impressive how you balance work, family, and making these high quality videos. Thanks kyle!
Yeah respect to him
Man!!!! Really appreciate it, we don’t always have the money to just get tools and hope for the best
Your reviews help out make a more educated investment
Like @EssentialCraftsman always says keep up the good work!
I appreciate that! It’s a lot of work, but if it helps people out it is worth it
You could do a giveaway of your 2.0 amp dewalt batteries you dont use.
” smaller than anticipated” is that what she said?.. LoL.
props for hearing protection and glasses!
Roof has two “O”s haha
every single time when i watch your videos, it makes me wanna be a carpenter xD
Don’t do it! ?
Picked one up last Saturday, so far I am extremely impressed with it. A great tool for the guys to finish up cutting a rake or for doing the first few rows on the roof, no hose to deal with in those tight areas. Loving it so far.
Finally! I was waiting for desalt to come out with one of these. Hope it’s as good or better than the pneumatic
@Tony Holtum in repairs depending on how much you hand nail would be faster to just hand nail, I could see it being ok for backer board but when I install backer I screw it anyways. I dont think the technology is there for electric tools to compete with pneumatic, we have these ones and they are surprising that they are able to do what they do but they are still fragile. I have one of the dewalt spikers and one of the Brad nailers and they are just as bad as all of dewalts other tools with plastic parts where there shouldn’t be plastic parts. I have a friend that worked in the tool crib at a previous place of employment and these guns were in there every day
I think the potential to be better than a pneumatic nailer is totally there. It certainly won’t be faster, but some times it’s not all about speed of the nailer. If a tile installer uses this to install their backer board, or a roofing repair crew using it to replace a few blown off pieces of ridge or missing shingles. Certainly would be better in those scenarios. Just my opinion though.
It would be great for installing underlayment as well, I have always used a roofing nailer or a stapler but mostly roofing nailer..
I just bought this baby to install cement board for tile installation..I’m amazed…save so much time and energy..
Should be good for dense glass sheathing,or exterior drywall sheathing.nice review.
This is perfect for me ……I do roof repairs alot ……I’m always hand nailing small repairs because I dont want to hook up an air compressor for a bundle of shingles .
Me too. What I’m hoping … it will take a siding adapter or can be simply adjusted to nail siding too.
I picked one up for the same reason. I do most repairs myself while crews are on full re-roofs. When I add up the hours I’ll save unloading a compressor and running a hose, then putting it all away, it more than pays for itself in the extra repairs I can squeeze in every day.
Dragging those hoses around and hitting my head trusses did it for me while working for the trailer plant?
Really impressed with the speed it has. Not bad, & I’m happy we are seeing battery roofing nailers finally. Now let’s hope others start to make them; since DeWalt just threw the gauntlet ?

We use a mikwaukee m12 1/4″ crown stapler for soffit. Light weight, saves time. No damage from fasteners. Custom made.
Picked one up about a week ago. Love it so far.
Kyle I’m just excited about the fact that you’re excited about a DeWalt tool I’m all In
I can see this gun being effective in the world of privacy fencing. Installed fencing years ago and the air hose was a pain when you’re running 400 ft
daniel buckner Did my fence with a 15gauge finish nailer, 4 nails per cross piece, toe nailed at about 25*. Looks good with no visible nails and has held up perfectly for about 10 years so far.
You would prefer a siding nailer probably. A framing nailing would even be better than a roofing nailer for that.
I am in the roofing industry and this does have a good place. With a lot of shingle ridge vent being nailed with 1 3/4” nails this is a nice set. Also when shooting into exposed rafters.
That was my thought as well as ridge generally gets done last and not having to drag 200′ of hose all over the place would be handy.
