A coil roofing nailer for fast, consistent asphalt shingle installation with reliable depth control. The HBT Coil Roofing Nailer brings a lightweight magnesium housing and adjustable depth and spacing features that reduce fatigue and speed up work. Can durability and precision meet the demands of professional roofing work?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Driving Range: Drives 11 gauge full head coil roofing nails from 7/8'' to 1-3/4''
  • Best for: Roofers and contractors needing rapid, consistent asphalt shingle installation
  • Not ideal for: Fine finish or trim work that requires smaller gauge nails

Drives 11 gauge full head coil roofing nails between 7/8'' and 1-3/4''. Selective actuation switch, adjustable depth control and magnesium housing combine for speed, control and reduced operator fatigue.


Faster, adaptable nailing – thanks to selective actuation switch

Selective actuation switch permits switching between sequential firing and contact (bump) mode, controlling how nails are released from the coil magazine. Sequential mode fires one nail per trigger pull while contact mode fires continuously with each bump.

Choose precise single-shot placement when accuracy matters, or switch to contact mode for rapid coverage on large roof runs, improving overall progress without sacrificing control.

Consistent depth and spacing – with tool-free adjustable depth control and shingle guide

Tool-free adjustable depth control lets users alter driving depth quickly without extra tools, while an adjustable shingle guide sets consistent spacing between rows. Settings remain stable across repeated cycles for uniform results.

Achieve correct nail seating and uniform shingle alignment quickly, cutting rework and ensuring a professional finish across long sections of roof.

Lower fatigue and greater durability – with magnesium housing and wear guards

Lightweight magnesium housing reduces overall tool mass for less arm strain during long shifts. Skid-resistant pads and wear guards, plus contact safety with carbide inserts, protect critical surfaces from abrasion.

Lighter construction keeps installers moving longer with less tiredness, while reinforced wear points minimise damage and extend time between maintenance intervals.
