Bostitch C3R80BDG Thickcoat Round Head 1-1/4-Inch by .080-Inch by 15 Degree Wire Collated Ring Shank Coil Siding Nail (4,200 per Box)
I looked everywhere but Amazon.com had the best price out there. Anywhere else was between $40-$80 more. Package came as decribed and quickly. Bostitch C3R80BDG Thickcoat Round Head 1-1/4-Inch by .080-Inch by 15 Degree Wire Collated Ring Shank Coil Siding Nail (4,200 per Box)
I started off using a box of these from the local hardware store to hang cedar shingles with a Bostitch N66C nailer and they are a good fit. The ring shank has very good holding strength, the galvanized coating will prevent rust staining, and the nail diameter is just right. I've gone through almost 20 bundles and have only split 1 or 2 shingles. The current Amazon price can't be beat, it's almost half what the hardware store is charging. So when I ran out of nails this deal was a no brainer. The only draw back to these nails is that you can't get then any shorter then 1.25". They stick through the inside of the wall about 1/4" so it tends to be a safety concern when you use them on an un-insulated structure like a shed or garage. 1 inch would be perfect in this scenario. Other then that, these nails hardly ever jam in the nailgun. Just make sure you set the pressure regulator to at least 80-90 psi, other wise you are asking for trouble. Good quality nails made in the USA, would highly recommend to anyone for speeding up a cedar shingle, or other wood siding job.
Bought a freeman coil nailer and these bostitch c380bdg nails,well i should have read closer to the specs.These nails are .080 dia. The freeman calls for nails no smaller than.090 dia,so I got nails that don't work corectly,What ever you buy,you must check closely on recommended related items,cause in my case it was not compatible.As for the Freeman nailer,I love it.The cheapest coil siding nailer you can buy. - Nails - Bostitch - Siding Nailer'
