Cordless coil roofers all run 7/8" through 1-3/4" nails. Battery life shortens slightly at the longer lengths because each shot pulls more energy from the pack. The Metabo HPT MultiVolt is unique — same gun runs on a battery or plugged into wall power via the AC adapter, eliminating runtime anxiety on long days.
Best pick for your job
Match the gun to the work — these are the picks pros reach for in each scenario.
Repair & remodel
One-off shingles, ridge caps, small patches.
Grab the gun, pull the trigger — no compressor setup for a 20-minute job.
Steep pitches & complex roofs
No hose to snag on a 12/12 pitch.
Untethered movement matters more than raw speed up there.
Run cordless or corded
Hate worrying about battery runtime?
MultiVolt platform takes a battery OR plugs into wall power.
Already on M18 platform
Crews running Milwaukee saws, drivers, drills.
Skip the kit cost — your existing M18 batteries already fit.
Already on 20V MAX
DeWalt-platform jobsite.
Tool only — share batteries with your existing 20V MAX lineup.
One-time DIY roof
Single residential job, won't use it again.
No $400 compressor purchase for a single weekend project.
What changed for cordless roofing nailers in 2026
Battery power finally caught up
First-gen cordless roofers were heavy, slow, and battery-hungry. The current crop drives nails with pneumatic feel response and gets through real workdays on standard 4.0Ah packs. For repair, remodel, residential, and anyone who hates dragging 50 feet of hose, cordless is now the obvious pick.
The honest tradeoff against pneumatic
You give up about 1.5 pounds versus a pro pneumatic, and your shots-per-minute ceiling is lower. In exchange: zero compressor noise, no hose snag risk on a steep pitch, no oil mist, no morning warm-up, and the freedom to nail a single shingle without firing up an entire compressor setup.
Picking the right platform
DeWalt DCN45RN on 20V MAX is the everyone pick — best balance of weight, power, and battery life. Milwaukee M18 if your crew already runs M18. Metabo HPT MultiVolt if you want the cordless-or-corded flexibility nobody else offers. Always carry at least two batteries — one driving, one charging.
