FAQs

What size are these nails?

These nails measure 50mm in length and have a 3.00mm diameter.

What is the primary advantage of the extra-large head?

The extra-large head provides a wider surface area, leading to more secure fastening and reducing the risk of the nail pulling through softer materials.

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made of galvanised steel, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor applications.

Can I use these with a nail gun?

Yes, these nails are compatible with most standard nail guns designed for clout or finishing nails. Ensure your nail gun is set correctly for the nail size and material.

What kind of applications are these nails best for?

They are best suited for roofing, fencing, general construction, and applications requiring a strong, weather-resistant fixing.

How many nails are in a 1kg bag?

The exact number varies due to nail size and weight, but a 1kg bag provides a substantial quantity suitable for most projects.

How should I store these nails?

Store the nails in a dry, protected environment to prevent moisture from affecting the galvanised coating and to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Nail bends during driving

Ensure you are driving the nail straight. Check if the material being fastened is too dense or hard; consider pre-drilling a pilot hole. If using a nail gun, verify the pressure setting is appropriate.

Nail head doesn't sit flush

Adjust hammer technique for a clean strike or ensure the nail gun's depth setting is correct. For manual hammering, a slight angle on the final taps might help seat the head properly.

Rusting observed on nails

Ensure nails are stored in a dry place. If rust appears on already installed nails, it may indicate damage to the galvanised coating during installation or prolonged exposure to harsh elements. For critical applications, consider using stainless steel nails if extreme corrosion is a concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust resistance due to galvanisation
  • Secure and reliable fixing with the large head
  • Suitable for heavy-duty construction and roofing
  • Durable material for long-lasting performance
  • Convenient packaging for ease of use and storage

Cons

  • May be too large for very light-duty or decorative applications
  • Requires appropriate tools (hammer or nail gun) for effective use
  • Galvanised coating can wear down with excessive abrasion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These nails require no setup. Ensure you have the appropriate tools for driving them, such as a hammer or a compatible nail gun. For tough materials like dense wood or when fixing into harder substrates, pre-drilling pilot holes can facilitate easier and more precise driving.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard hammers and most pneumatic nail guns designed for clout nails or finishing nails. They are suitable for use with a variety of construction materials including wood, roofing felt, tarpaulin, and some sheeting materials.

Care: Store nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating. Avoid storing in damp conditions or direct contact with water. If used in highly corrosive environments, regular inspection for any signs of coating wear may be advisable.
