⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: Ring shank with a D head increases withdrawal resistance for loaded joints
- • Best for: High-volume timber frame construction, heavy decking, fencing and outdoor work
- • Not ideal for: Precision finish carpentry where countersunk heads are required
Paper-collated 2.8mm by 50mm strip nails combine ring shank, D head and a diamond point for secure fixing. Extra galvanised finish helps the fasteners withstand outdoor conditions.
Secure fixings for structural joins - with ring shank and D head
Ring shank threads bite into timber fibres to resist withdrawal while the D head gives a positive seating surface for the nail gun. Together they reduce the chance of loosening under load in heavy assemblies.
Reliable holding strength helps keep decking, fence posts and timber frames stable over time. Fewer returns to check fixings saves time on site.
Durability outdoors - with extra galvanised finish
An extra galvanised coating provides a protective zinc layer that reduces surface corrosion when exposed to moisture. The finish is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications named by the manufacturer.
Galvanised nails remain serviceable in damp conditions, making them appropriate for external decking and fencing. Buyers can expect longer service life compared with non-galvanised fasteners.
Faster nailing runs - thanks to paper-collated 34° strips
Strips collated at a 34 degree angle feed through compatible strip nailers and reduce the need for frequent reloading. Paper collation is designed to break away cleanly during firing, which helps prevent jams.
High-volume tasks become more efficient with fewer interruptions for reloading and clearing jams. Suitable for busy sites using compatible Tacwise and major-brand strip nailers.
