Bostitch manufactures over 2000 types of

fasteners. Each fastener is engineered for

optimal performance in Bostitch

tools, and

for exceeding the performance expectations

of our customers. Our goal is to continually

increase efficiency, productivity and quality,

and to ensure building code compliance

through the ICC ESR 2020, ICC ESR 1539 and

ICC ER 5426 reports. Our team of engineers

leads the industry in innovation and design.

Utilizing our advanced laboratory, our team

of engineers conducts

environmental

testing

to study the effects of storm forces and other weather conditions,

withdrawal testing

to evaluate new coatings,

penetration testing

to evaluate

drive characteristics, and

development testing

to optimize withdrawal, shear

and pull-through performance.

Selecting the Proper Bostitch

Nails

Nail Collation

Bostitch

Stick Nails are designed, engineered and manufactured in four

different forms and are generally identified by what holds the nails together –

plastic, wire, paper or adhesive. Adhesive collation is used on finish nails and

brads for trim and fine woodwork. Finish nails and brads range in length from 3/8

to 2-1/2 inches with diameters ranging from 15 to 23 gauge. The plastic, wire and

paper collated nails are used for general framing and crating applications. Stick

nails range in length from 1-1/2” to 6-1/4” inches with diameters ranging from

0.113 to 0.165 inches.

Bostitch

Coil Nails are made at a 15-degree angle, joined together with

wire or plastic, and range from 3/4 to 4 inches in length with diameters

ranging from 0.080 to 0.148 inches. Applications typically include roofing,

siding, fencing, framing and crating.

Nail Shank

There are three types of nail shanks – smooth, ring, and screw. A smooth

shank has a withdrawal capacity that is adequate for most applications.

During the manufacturing of smooth shank nails, a coating is applied,

which eases penetration resistance and ultimately helps improve the

holding power of the fastener. However, when more holding power is

necessary, a ring or screw shank should be used. A ring shank is designed

for increased withdrawal strength in soft woods. The screw shank works

well at improving the withdrawal capacity in hard woods.
