Senco Roof Pro 455XP

How This 5.3-lb "Tar Beast" Saved My Crew During Georgia's Roofpocalypse When hail shredded Mrs. Henderson’s 12:12-pitch roof last June, my knees bled through my pants from crawling. Then the Senco 455XP landed on site. This coil-fed savage laid 9 squares of architectural shingles in 98°F heat without a single misfire while my old nailer choked on asphalt grit. For roofing crews battling deadlines and death-slopes, this isn’t just a tool – it’s a gravity-defying insurance policy.
