FAQs

What type of environments are these nails suitable for?

They are suitable for environments with Corrosion Rating 2, which includes occasionally damp, rural, and sheltered areas.

Are these nails suitable for treated timber?

Yes, they are generally suitable for use with treated timber, provided the environment matches the corrosion rating.

Can I use these nails for exterior cladding?

For exterior cladding, especially in harsh weather conditions, it's often recommended to use stainless steel nails for superior corrosion resistance. These nails are better suited for sheltered exterior applications or general construction.

What is the head type for these nails?

These nails feature a full round head, designed for clamping and creating a secure finish.

How many nails are in a kilogram?

There are approximately 440 pieces per kilogram.

What is the material of these nails?

They are made from carbon steel.

Are these nails magnetic?

As they are made of carbon steel, they will be magnetic.

Troubleshooting

Nail bending during driving

Ensure the timber is not too dense for the nail size. Check the nail gun's pressure setting or use a heavier hammer blow. Ensure the nail is being driven straight.

Inconsistent finish (nail head not flush)

Adjust the depth setting on your nail gun. For hammer use, ensure consistent strike force and angle. Check for obstructions in the timber.

Rust spots appearing on nails

This may occur if the galvanised coating is compromised or exposed to prolonged high moisture. For critical applications, consider stainless steel nails. Ensure proper storage in a dry area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance for use in damp conditions.
  • Full round head provides strong clamping power.
  • Manufactured to industry standards (BS EN 14592:2008).
  • Durable carbon steel construction ensures strength.
  • Suitable for a variety of general construction and woodworking applications.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for timber-to-timber applications.
  • Galvanised coating may not be sufficient for highly corrosive environments.
  • Full round head might be too large for very fine or delicate woodworking.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring specialized coatings or materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These nails are designed for use with standard nail guns or hammer applications. Ensure your tool is compatible with the nail size (50mm length, 2.65mm shank). For hammer use, drive the nail straight into the material.

Compatibility: Primarily compatible with softwood and hardwood timbers. They are suitable for general construction, framing, and woodworking applications. Not recommended for use with materials that would be damaged by the nail's size or finish.

Care: Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating. If used outdoors, occasional inspection for any signs of corrosion is recommended. Clean tools used with these nails after each use to prevent residue buildup.
