This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes.
The Bostitch RN46-1 is a Factory Reconditioned 1/4" NPT Roofing Nailer. The RN46-1 roofing nailer weighs 4.8 lbs featuring magnesium housing for job site durability. Aggressive wear guards, non-skid pads and carbide inserts in the tip for long life. The Bostitch RN46-1 is the only roofing nailer to feature integrated last nail capture so it won't fire when it runs out of nails. With its patented single-action side load canister, the nailer has 410 in-lbs of power for the toughest applications. A quick set adjustable depth control makes for consistent nail drives. An over molded grip provides comfortable use and the shingle guide requires no tool for adjustment.

Like New!:
After buying the reconditioned Bostitch Coil Nailer, I can't think of anything to say that's negative about the "used product". The shipping was quick, product is in great shape, and the price was right. I would recommended to anyone including family and friends.
Very Good Value:
I was renting one of these from the local rental store and they were charging $24/day, or $96 if you wanted to use it for a week. Of course it started raining halfway thru the first day, so I took it back. We had a large pitchy roof with a reverse gable and the entire thing was 2000 square feet and would have teken forever to do with a hammer.
