Can this be used for Hardie siding?

My friend, this Makita handle's Hardie siding like it was wood. The depth settings make it so you can snug into the Hardie to maintain the Hardie strength. Have sided on lap siding as well as panel Hardie. Excellent nail gun with very few jams. I highly recommend.

It can. I had one but lots of trouble keeping it feeding. Got rid of it and bought a Hitachi and had much better luck.

This is a great nail gun for hardie and sheathing. Just remember to set the depth adjustment so the nail doesn't sink into the siding.

Yep. This is the best siding nailer I have ever used. It is so precise. Super nice tool

Yes, it is the same nail gun I used when residing my house with Hardiplank in 2010-11. It works very well. It can be adjusted rather delicately for depth of nail drive. FWIW I used it with Hitachi electrogalvanized nails.

If you are handy, yes. We used ours on a pole building siding....which was a pain, but it worked.

This nailer will not use siding nails. However, some contactors use a roofing nailer and roofing nails to nail hardie siding, nailing every 12". I would call James Hardie Co. and ask them if they approve this application.

No you shouldn't use this for roofing. The head of the siding mail is too small.

I used this nailer to install Hardiplank siding. Its too powrful for vinyl siding. Personally, I wouldn't install vinyl siding on a storage building, much less a house.

Yes. It works great. Just spray it on the siding and within 4-5 days you will be surprise. It works!

It can be as long as you don't expect the aluminum to hold it up. You have to go through to the studs or masonry wall. The siding is merely a facade over what lies below. Connect to the structure and you will be more than happy.

Yes it can, but I would recommend covering the ends with a towel so you don't scuff the siding. I would also advise not to lean the ladder against the siding when it is very hot or very cold.

If you have screws long enough to grab the wood underneath, but I 'm not sure you want to do that because tightening the mount down might destort your siding!! I mounted mine under the eaves and they look nice!!

Yes and you will probably want to. I was not that hard on mine and it didn't last two days of use pressure washing my siding.You want either of these, both available on Amazon : Anderson Metals Brass Garden Hose Fitting, Swivel, 3/4" Female Hose ID x 3/4" Female Pipeor Gilmour 7FPS7FH Double Female Swivel Brass Connector, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch

This is the roofing nailer. I've never done cement siding but I'm guessing you would want the siding nailer and not the roofing nailer.

Sorry, I don't know. We used it on T111 siding and so far (2 wks) it's not working.

I haven't used this on fiber siding myself. However, when u asked this question it made me curious. I just went to the garage and found some Hardibacker. It sliced right through the 1/4 inch hardiboard. I'm sure it would go through the siding. The only problem I can foresee is it being too big to fit in there thickness wise. If it is half inch you would be great. By the way this tool is one of my favorite additions, and I feel like I have a one up on everybody who doesn't have one.

Yes. It would be great for that. You could use a piece of siding to press the texture in it.

Perfect, nearly every nail. Within 1/32"-1/16" when it was off to 1/8" occasionally. ***What's behind your new siding plays a big part in the performance. Installing over old siding will have a different performance than a new construction install. The old siding may have soft spots, flashing, brackets... who knows what behind it... these make a difference no matter what gun you use. We installed HardiePlank Lap Siding over old wood panel siding and had great performance.

No, but I'm sure if the siding fits in the PAC TOOL, it will be fine. Fiber cement typically is only 5/16 thick. Not sure if 1/2 fits, as my Pac Tools are 1100 miles from me at this time.

I did not use it on siding but I did on roofing and it has performed terrible. I would not recommend it. If you want to buy one I will sell you one at a third of what anyone else will charge you. I have used it on roofing and have to open the chamber after every few shots to move the nails forward.
