00:00welcome back and here's something that you may want to use instead of a hammer and nails to
00:18do a roofing job if you're doing it your yourself or you're getting your buddies to over there and
00:23give you a hand this is an air roofing nailer you will need a compressor for this and hose
00:28usually about a hundred feet of hose and this will take your nails and by pulling the trigger just
00:35drive them in like any air nailer would for any job now this is a coil nailer so you're not using
00:40strips or anything you're using coil nails probably inch and a quarter inch and a half depending on
00:46whether you got two layers or one layer of shingles that you're putting onto your under your house
00:51easy to load is just pull the trigger down here pin open it up release the bottom tray and you'll
01:03you'll drop your coil in and make sure that your coils aren't bent twisted misformed because that's
01:12when you're going to have a hard time getting them to feed in if they get twisted or anything also one
01:17of the most important things is all nailers aren't created equal so make sure you got the right nails
01:23the wires that hold the nails together come in different dimensions up and down the nail and how
01:30they're spaced this nailer is very takes the most variety of them but they have to fit into the grooves
01:37for the feeder to advance the nails and if the wire is in the way and they don't advance right then it's
01:43going to be a frustrating day of jam nails so make sure you feed your nails in and you feed them right
01:51across the the toggles that advance the nails your nails sit flat there's no obstruction there for the
01:57wire to feed you flip that back over put your your carriage base down and make sure that your your base
02:06here is in the right spot for the different lengths of nails this is I can go down this can also be set
02:13up higher and that's because of the different lengths of nails so some people don't take the time to do
02:19that your nails start going in at an angle and you end up with jam nails so make sure you put that in
02:25the right position so that the nails sit straight going through into the into the advance into the carriage
02:35okay so if you've got that right you don't have twisted nails the wire is in the proper position for
02:42this type of our model of nailer you won't have any trouble nailing and the best way to nail is hold
02:48the trigger and then just pound down and put your nails in okay and that'll save you a lot of heartache
02:58trying to do it with a hammer for sure but and it's definitely much much quicker so have your compressors
03:06air pressure at the right pressure and don't forget to bleed off your compressor if you're doing it on
03:12real hot days because you're gonna have your tanks fill up with water open the valves in the bottom and
03:17and drain them out each day so that you don't have water blowing through your gun and because you'll
03:22always want to add a drop or two of oil every day to your nailer as any air nailer to to keep it
03:29working properly and especially in the winter time when it's freezing keep your keep your nailers inside
03:36overnight rather than just leave them in the truck and because the byproduct of compressed air is water
03:40vapor and you come out the next day and your nailers won't work because they're frozen okay so there's
03:46another tool that'll make it a little easier for you when you want to try a roofing job and give it a
