The Apach RN-45E2 is a lightweight pneumatic coil roofing nailer favored by production roofing crews tackling new roofs, re-roofing, and insulation on residential and light commercial jobs. It excels with asphalt/fiberglass shingles and tar paper, driving 0.120" 15-degree wire coil nails from 7/8" to 1-3/4" at high speed via its 120-nail see-thru side-loading magazine and ergonomic aluminum body with rubber protectors. What sets it apart from the nearest competitor, the Bostitch RN46, is its lower 5.7 lb weight versus RN46's 5.9 lbs, reducing fatigue on all-day shingle runs, plus a simpler contact trigger standard (sequential optional) for faster bump-nailing in high-volume scenarios, while RN46 mandates sequential for safety compliance on some sites.
