Iron Horse IH-RCN is a heavy-duty coil roofing nailer, a powerful tool designed for professional roofing contractors. This nailer features a single actuation mechanism, which requires the user to press the safety against the wood and then pull the trigger to drive the fastener. With adjustable air pressure, you can customize the nailer to meet the specific requirements of your roofing project. The depth of the nails can also be adjusted to ensure they are driven to the correct depth in the roofing material.

Iron Horse IH-RCN is a heavy-duty coil roofing nailer, a powerful tool designed for professional roofing contractors. This nailer features a single actuation mechanism, which requires the user to press the safety against the wood and then pull the trigger to drive the fastener. With adjustable air pressure, you can customize the nailer to meet the specific requirements of your roofing project. The depth of the nails can also be adjusted to ensure they are driven to the correct depth in the roofing material.
