Hi

I have a 51321 roof nailer that isn’t shooting many nails straight, which is very annoying since it breaks the felt all the time. The senco I use is a lot better and the Dewalt should be just as good. I figure there is something wrong with it but hasn’t been able to identify anything.

Any suggestions on what I should check? The nailer has not been used much and is in a new condition, apart from this problem.

I had a similar issue with my APACH Roofing nailer. It ended up being an issue with the type of nails I was using. If the driver is not bent, the pressure is correct, and the nails are correct, then I would say take it to your nearest local repair center.
