Can you use it to drive a roofing nail

No the head of the nail won't fit in the hole it is mainly used to put a 12 penny nail or inch and a half Joyce strap nail in it is great for hard to reach places like if you forget to nail a strap or jost hanger and you can't fix your hammer in there to swing it so you just put a nail in it line it up and push

No, the head on a roofing nail would be too big to fit in the cylinder that drives the nails.

I don't think so. The head of the nail would have to be less then about 3/8" Dia. to fit into the small hole in the nailer.

No, unless the roofing nail has an unusually small head. The head of a 16p nail just barely fits.

It can be as long as you use the correct nails for the gun. Siding nails and nothing else. Roofing nails will not work in there.

The impact driver is for driving screws, philips or square or torx or hex drive screws. If you are looking to drive 16p nails an air powered palm nailer is better. There are some electric nail drivers, not sure they would work well with framing nails.

I should work fine. I have a small Porter-Cable 2 gallon "pancake" compressor and it powers the nailer without any problems.

According to the description it can be used with "metal connector nails". The problem is there are no metal connector nails available so the metal connector tip is useless. I was very disappoint with the nailer after finding out Bostitch did not provide support by supplying nails it said the nailer could use.

I think it will work well. It has several tools that will whittle down a thick nail. Just be careful not to go too deep.

Yes. Or you can drill through the roof and run a heavy duty like to a cross support beam

Yes it will. Try to keep the battery fully charged..It tends to slow down when nailing.

Yes, you can. It has an adjustment to increase or decrease pressure to the nail head. This will help to prevent spiting the wood.

Yes. I use it with a small Bosch oiless pancake compressor. Terrific nailer. Vinyl siding adapter available

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

Assuming it is metal or shingled, I wouldn't see why you couldn't.My only concerns would be if it is a rubber roof. Part of my house has a rubber roof and I am EXTREMELY cautious with anything that I do near or around it. I would not want a device (shovel or roof rake) to take a digger and gouge the rubber.

it drives ever nail quicker and better than a hamer, run at 100 psi, this will drive a nail in places you would never get a hamer, it is worth every penny.

it will drive 2/12" finish nails without hesitation. Fencing may require framing nails which would be another tool

Hi, the head of the roofing nail is to big to fit in the nailer. The bigger issue is the time it would take to insert 1 roofing nail at a time. A roofing gun allows you to load an entire clip of nails for a faster, smoother process. Most rental agencies, including the HD stores with rental equipment have the roofing guns and nails available. Have fun!
