Question 1

Can a framing nailer be used on this compressor or just finishing

Accepted Answer

Yes, I run my Hitachi framing nailer off this.  Maybe 30-40 .141 x3" nails into dimensional lumber before the compressor kicks on.  Could I use a more powerful compressor for framing?  Sure. But the weight and cost of this thing are very nice.  Would be underpowered for roofing or sheathing applications, though.

Question 2

Can this be used for roofing

Accepted Answer

It works perfectly to run one roofing gun. I’ve bought two of them and they both could handle the work load perfectly. And to comment on one of these guys replies to your question, He said the compressor would run continuously and burn up” well that’s not only untrue but impossible. You would have to be able to lay 5 square an hour all day long not just an hour or two for it to even be remotely possible to burn up that compressor. Not saying you couldn’t lay 5 square an hour but you can’t do it for several hours straight that’s for sure. I personally have put on 11 bundles per hour for the first 2 hours and the compressor did not run continuously and even if it did it wouldn’t have burnt up. Those specific compressors are designed to click off and on as many times as you can make them do so.
