Need a siding nailer ASAP

My Bostitch roofing nailer(AIR DRIVEN) has a nose cone adapter than makes it work for vinyl siding.

Model, and did it come with the tip?

Now that I put this fancy new house wrap up that's gonna be harder...

But still the plan.

2nd window in.

Hanging wrap and installing windows on the 2nd story solo *****. Had help lined up for next weekend but weather looked like possible rain and this far into the year didn't want to wait much longer.

Just drill pilot holes for your nails. Duh

I'm assuming you're not serious...

In unrelated news, I'd like to go back to 1985 and smack the guy that mixed aluminum nails in with the galvanized. Hope I snagged all the non-magnetic ones before the fell in the driveway

That would have been the tail end of aluminum siding. He was being thrifty...

That explains about everything in this house...

people have said a siding nailer isn't for vinyl. I assume the head of the nail is too small

that plus the depth the nails are driven doesn't allow for the movement the vinyl siding wants

Bostitch RN46-1 with a VSA4 tip kit (sold seperately)

Siding nailers that you see advertised are for wood siding. Vinyl siders hand nail or use staples IME. I like hand nailing because I can control the tension on the siding vertically. I like staples because its twice as fast. I'm retired from siding now but did it for about 35 years.

That adapter looks like it would work well. The one I have isn't as nice
