MG HDG Hot-Dip Galvanized Smooth Shank Plastic Collated Metal Framing Nails

Shank Types:

Smooth shank roofing nails are the most common ones.  Used for framing and general construction applications. They can offer enough holding power for most use.

Ring shank roofing nails prevent them from being removed as easily as smooth shank nails. Ring shank nails are often used in softer types of wood where splitting is not an issue.

Spiral shank nails are generally used in hard wood to prevent splitting while the fastener is being driven. The fastener spins while being driven (like a screw) which creates a tight groove that makes the fastener less likely to back out.

Plastic strip framing nails are a type of fastener commonly used in construction, particularly for framing applications. Here is a description of plastic strip framing nails:

Material: These nails are typically made of steel, offering strength and durability for structural framing tasks.

Shape: Plastic strip framing nails are often available in a clipped head or full round head design with a diamond point for easy penetration into wood.

Plastic Strip: Instead of paper tape, these nails are collated using a plastic strip, which holds them together for easy loading into a nail gun, reducing the risk of jams and improving efficiency.

Usage: Primarily used for framing work, such as attaching studs, joists, and beams in residential and commercial construction projects.

Features: Plastic strip framing nails may come with various coatings like galvanized or coated for increased protection against rust and corrosion.

Sizes: Available in different lengths and gauges to suit various framing materials and thicknesses.

Application: Ideal for professional carpenters, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts undertaking framing projects that require secure and efficient fastening.

The plastic strip collation enhances nail gun performance by minimizing downtime caused by misfires or jams, thus boosting productivity on the job site.

In summary, plastic strip framing nails are reliable and durable fasteners that play a crucial role in securely fastening structural elements during construction, offering ease of use, efficiency, and strength for framing professionals and enthusiasts alike.
