FAQs
Are these nails suitable for treated lumber?
Yes, the stainless steel construction is highly resistant to the chemicals found in treated lumber, making them suitable for long-term exterior use.
What type of Paslode tool do I need for these nails?
You will need a Paslode cordless gas nailer that is designed to accept 2.8mm diameter, 51mm length nails and utilizes a fuel cell system.
Can I use these nails for interior applications?
Absolutely. While excellent for exterior use, their high quality finish and performance also make them suitable for interior projects where durability is desired.
How many nails are in a pack?
Each pack contains 1100 nails.
Does the pack include the fuel cell?
Yes, each Handy Pack includes one fuel cell.
What is 'Service Class 3'?
Service Class 3 indicates suitability for applications exposed to weather or where the moisture content of the wood is expected to be high, such as exterior structures.
What is the advantage of a 'Ring Shank' nail?
Ring shank nails have small rings around the shank that grip the wood fibers, providing significantly better holding power and resistance to pull-out compared to smooth shank nails.
Troubleshooting
Nail not firing or partial drive.
Check fuel cell level; ensure it is correctly seated. Verify nails are loaded correctly and the magazine is free of obstructions. Ensure the tool is properly powered on and ready. Clean the drive blade and magazine.
Tool jams frequently.
Ensure you are using the correct Paslode fuel cell and that it is not expired. Clean the tool's internal components, especially the magazine and any debris filters. Use only Paslode-approved nails for best results.
Nails bending during drive.
Confirm the wood density is appropriate for the nail size. Check if the tool's depth-of-drive setting is too high for the material. Ensure the nail strip is feeding smoothly into the tool.
Poor holding power.
While ring shank offers superior hold, ensure nails are driven fully into the material. Check for any damage to the wood that might affect grip. This issue is rare with ring shank nails when properly driven.
