BOSTITCH Coil Siding Nailer, 1-1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch (N66C)

The BOSTITCH N66C nailer is a game-changer! Flawless performance, perfect depth control, and durable build. Ideal for siding projects—saves time and effort. Highly recommend!

I have wanted a coil nailer for years and I finally decided to bite the bullet. I am very glad I did. I had to put on some smart siding and this thing made my life so much easier. I never malfunctioned and it drove the nails in very consistently. I would recommend this to anyone that needs one. I am glad I spent the extra money. It arrived when promised and it works as promised.

I had to replace 200' of 8' board-on-board fence after a storm. This thing was a life saver. Keep it clean, dry, and lightly lubricated, and it will pay for itself on the first job.

This nailer is a beauty. It feeds well, the depth adjustment is accurate and stable. The hook to hang it is useful and easily moved out of the way when you need to. Fairly lightweight. The trigger might be a little too sensitive for me - just don't rest your finger on the trigger or it may fire when engaged.

I used this nailer along with some gecko siding guides to hang some hardie plank on a rain screen setup. Worked well with bosch 2 1/4 siding nails and never jammed up on me or caused any problems. Wish it came with a connector, but I had some on hand, so keep that in mind if you pick one up. Glad I picked this up before the price goes up due to tariffs. Buy it before 2025 and it's like getting a 20-30% discount LOL!

From all reviews online of the best and most expensive siding nailers, the Bostitch N66C is absolutely the #1 best. After completing several projects, I have to agree -- this siding nailer is the best!After driving well over a 2,000 nails, I had ZERO misfires and ZERO jams resulting in this product to be 100% reliable! However, to make sure you are 100% satisfied with this product, READ the instructions. This unit comes shipped with two different triggers, one black and the other grey. The black trigger (the one this unit is installed with as a default) is used for continuous operations; the other trigger (grey) is for sequential operation; i.e.; a nail is driven for each pull of the trigger. First, I changed the black trigger with the gray one due to my preference of driving one nail for each pull of the trigger; and, as a result, I never had a mis-fire, a jam, or firing two nails at once.Furthermore, to make sure this nailer operated properly, I used four to six drops of a high quality light oil to the air input. Next using high quality bicycle chain oil to the external parts; i.e., nail feeder and other external parts of the nailer insured perfect results. Tri-flow is an excellent choice lubricant for the external parts of this nailer.For my projects, I have used nails ranging from 1 1/4 inches to 2 1/2 inches and not once have I had a jam or a mis-fire. Overall, I've NEVER had a better tool than the Bostitch N66C and highly recommend it for durability, dependability, and continuous operation.

I recently bought this nailer to assemble 104 standard hive bodies. These are made from pine and have finger joints at the edges using a total of 40 nails per box. 40! The nailer required a compressed air fitting that was not supplied but are common at just about every hardware store.Out of the box it failed. Oh man was this thing bad. I wanted to smash it. Every other nail misfired. Pop, nail goes in. Pop, I get a dent and the nail coil was not advanced into the firing chamber. Pop Pop Pop no nails. Reseat the coil. Pop, one nail, then pop pop pop no nails. Reseat the coil in the right place. Over and over. I was in a bind. I had more than a hundred hives to build and this thing didn't work and I was using Bostitch brand galvanized ring shank nails (2.25" long, similar to the 7P nails used in beekeeping).I then grabbed my trusty can of Tri-Flow and gave the moving parts a good squirt and wiped off the excess. Then reseated the nails.Pop. Nail went in as expected. Pop. Nail #2 goes in, then #3 and then #4. Okay, this is good.A while later it misfired again. PTSD kicking in and I'm ready to smash this thing. Then I realize I ran through the whole coil of nails.I'm on box number two of nails now. ZERO misfires after that first few of that first 3600 nail box. The only time I see a dent and no nail is when I'm at the end of the nail coil. It works! I'm sold!After every roll I just give it a little spray of Tri-Flow and then a couple drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air fitting. I love this thing now.Pros: duh. It's a nail gun and they're awesome when they work.Cons: aside from the slow start, the recoil on the gun after several hundred nails tends to wear the skin at the 2nd knuckle of my right thumb -right next to the web of skin going to my first finger. Ouchie. A bandaid, mole skin, or even just a light mechanics glove will fix this.I've read all the reviews and figured I would get a good one that didn't have problems. I think the problems people were seeing can be solved with proper lubrication. Shooting the nailer right after spraying down the inside of the hatch where the nails run will result in spraying oil or the carrier fluid all over your woodwork so be careful. I spray and then walk away for a while to let it evaporate leaving only the Teflon behind (again, I'm using Tri-Flow). Liquid lubricants will need to have the excess wiped off or you'll get a lot of sprayed oil on your wood. The bees probably won't care but the paint won't stick well.I recommend this gun to any beekeeper that needs to assemble more than a handful of hives.

Redoing siding on my house. The gun worked perfectly. Nails were inserted at the correct depth and no misfires.
