Smooth Shank - For general construction, carpentry and
framing: the most popular and versatile.
Ring Shank - The ring shank provides improved withdrawal
resistance for applications where the resistance from smooth
shank fasteners is not adequate: floor decking, crating,
pallets.
Hardened Steel - For attaching wooden plates to green
concrete foundations; 2X furring strips to cinder block.
Hot Dipped Galvanized Plus - These nails are hot dipped
with a baked on polymer coating. They offer the highest
corrosion resistance of any galvanized nail. These nails
should be used where higher corrosion resistance is required
to retard rust and rust staining. Recommended for use in
natural wood siding, such as cedar, redwood, cypress and
preservative treated lumber. (Not for use in all-weather
wood foundations.)
The Paslode Cordless Framing Nailer is not recommended for use with 3"
Ring Shank nails in pressure treated lumber.
