Why bother with roofing nail guns?
Roofing nail guns fire nails into wood or any other material they are
specifically designed for meaning it takes a fraction of a second to 'hammer' in
one nail. This takes away the hard work and the time normally involved in
hammering large mounts of nails. While they are extremely useful they can also
be quite dangerous if not treated properly.
Spring loaded roofing nail guns
Spring loaded roofing nail guns are the simplest and most
affordable nail guns that you can buy. They are really quite simple in their
ingenuity and they use some very high tensile springs to fire the nails out of
the chamber and into the wood.

Crude maybe, but highly effective definitely! These roofing
nail guns do still use a little electric power to pull back the springs to
such an extent that means they will effectively fire with enough pace to
lodge into the piece of wood. |
Solenoid roofing nail guns
Solenoid roofing nail guns are powered using electromagnetic polarization. When
you pull the trigger the polarization in the gun reverses repelling the nail
away from the mechanism and into the wood. This is a highly useful technique and
is used in many different types of machinery and tools so are proven to work
over long periods of time. There are very few pieces that are likely to break
and leave you with powerless roofing nail guns, this durability is a distinct
advantage over the relatively fast wearing spring loaded roofing nail guns.

Pneumatic roofing nail guns
The most popular and widely used type of roofing nail guns are
compressed or pneumatic nail guns. By compressing air in a standard air
compressor it can gather huge amounts of power. In pneumatic roofing hammer
drills the pressure is used to initially hold the hammer in place so that the
nail is not fired but when you pull the trigger this opens a passageway that
lets the compressed air out and dispels the nail at great speed. These are the
most popular form of roofing nail guns because they only need an air compressor
to run. Air compressors can be powered through a number of different means and
you do not need to plug pneumatic roofing nail guns into the mains power. This
cuts down and cost and makes it reliable and much more convenient, not to
mention safe when it starts to drizzle.
