Metal connectors are quite useful when doing framing. Pounding in all the nails is a pain. So using a pnuematic nailer is really helpful.
If your nailer will do this, then you’d be hard pressed to find better nails than these. They are specially hardened, so that if you miss the hole a bit, they will still go through. And they are available in thicker sizes than regular nails of this length (which is perfect for nailing a bracket to a 2″ board without protruding from the back). They are heavily galvanized, so you would be hard pressed to find anything more rust resistant. Really, they have no down side.
When used with a nail gun like the Bostitch F21PL, these nails make metal connector installation a breeze. If you have ever lamented the fact that your regular nailer isn’t accurate enough to hit the holes on metal connectors, the F21PL and these nails are the solution to your problem.
I installed dozens of joint hangers, post bases, and other metal connectors in short order when building my new deck. I recommend the nail gun and these nails to anyone who is using metal connectors.
Received these nails 8 days after ordering using the free shipping,
and in perfect condition
The product is fine. The only problem I have is that I paid for second day shipping and the nail gun I purchased was from a Amazon merchant and the small print that I didn’t read said that they weren’t obligated to the same shipping policy. So I wasted my second day shipping cost since nails without a gun is useless.
