Bostitch N66C Nailer [Posted on 2007-04-06]
I bought this nailer to build 250 ft of privacy fence. It worked flawlessly through 3000 wire coallated nails and I am glad I bought it. The ring shanked nails grip tightly to the point that the head will pull through the board before pulling out of the rail. I am looking forward to building another fence!

Awesome Siding Nailer [Posted on 2007-09-04]
This is my first nail gun. I am a weekend warrior and have used this to nail HardiPlank siding. It has worked flawlessly. The ergonomics are perfect. If the product could be improved, it would not allow firing once the last nail has been driven.

I used wire collated nails for my project and my only issue is that the wire tends to get driven with the nail causing a blemish in the plank or a piece of the wire actually get driven under the nail head which shows. I'm blind nailing, so this is not a big deal, however, I would probably try plastic collated next time.

Great Gun [Posted on 2007-11-17]
I was a little disappointed with the firing of this gun. Like another user commented... the gun should be able to strictly single fire and STOP after a nail has been fired. I used this gun for cedar tongue and groove siding installation with premium 2" stainless steel coil nails. About 5-10% of the time the gun would fire 2 nails even when I tried my hardest to allow for a single fire. In addition, for me too, some of the wire from the nail coil would be driven into the wood. Not the worst thing because ultimately when done right with tongue and groove the nail would be covered up by the overlapping siding. But still somewhat concerning when spending close to $300 on a gun.

On the bright side, the gun is light and handles well. It seems to be build very solid. Overall I have been using my DeWalt 15 gage cordless finish nailer for over a year and that gun is awesome. This Bostitch is the first air powered gun I have purchased and I was hoping for the same predictability. Unfortunately you sometimes can't predict what's going to happen when you pull the trigger and I wish this wasn't the case.

Ok...ok...ok... I had to come back and edit my review. The Bostich N66C comes with 2 triggers. One is exactly for my issues listed above. It's stricktly a single shot trigger and will not allow the gun to fire twice. It is for more precise firing when speed and coverage is not the issue. As a result my review has gone from 3 to 4 stars. It's definitely a quality product.

Good Nail-Gun for Siding [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Good product, has all the features of the other brands. Came with the peice to switch from trigger activated to impact activated. I've gone through a box of nails already, never had a mis-fire. Easy to use, durable, best price available.

nice siding nailer [Posted on 2008-03-20]
After putting up a couple of courses of sidewall shakes with a hammer, I went looking for a nail gun that would shoot shake size nails. They aren't easy to find. The N66C is a pretty sweet little gun. It's light, holds a fair amount of nails, doesn't jam, and has good depth control. It is pretty tough too (I've dropped it off the staging a couple of times). I feel like I made a good choice from a rather limited field. The only negative is that sometimes it leaves some of the collation wire sticking out at the nail head. These are unpleasant to hit with a knuckle
