The DeWalt DCN45RNB 20V MAX cordless 15° coil roofing nailer is optimized for service repair crews and small roofing jobs like shingle replacements on residential homes, where hauling compressors is impractical. Production roofers on large re-roofs use it for spot work or tight access areas, firing up to 3 nails per second and covering one square (100 sq ft) of asphalt shingles per 2Ah battery charge. It stands out from the nearest competitor, Metabo HPT NT1865DMA 18V cordless roofing nailer, with its lighter 6.7 lb bare tool weight (vs. 7.3 lbs), higher 120-nail magazine capacity (vs. 90-120 variable), and dedicated tool-free stall release lever for faster jam clearance, making it better for extended handheld use without fatigue on sloped roofs.

What Contractors Say
Real-world feedback from roofing contractors and trade reviewers who have used this nailer on the job.
"You’re not going to see pneumatic speed here, but you can fire roughly 3 nails per second. I found that to be plenty for the parts of the roof I was working on—even in production areas, it’s not too much of a slowdown."
"With the two nail sizes we’ve been using, we haven’t had any issues with the nailer driving to the depth we want and with consistent results."
"This unit feels like about 6-7 pounds when you have a full coil and a 6 Ah battery on there. You can hold the trigger and bump nail like on a pneumatic."
