Yes. Our stainless steel coil ring shank nails work with wire-weld coil nailers that work at 15 degrees. They work with guns from Max, Bostitch, Hitachi (Metabo HPT), Paslode, and Senco. Make sure the air pressure in your gun is right. Stainless steel is a little harder than galvanized steel, so you might need a little more PSI.

304 stainless is the standard grade for most outdoor uses. It doesn't rust easily, works well with cedar, and is strong enough for roofing. 316 stainless has molybdenum in it, which makes it even more resistant to saltwater and harsh chemicals. If you work near the coast or on a waterfront property, choose 316.

Galvanized nails rust over time, especially near the coast or when they touch cedar. Stainless steel ring shank nails won't rust or stain your roof or siding, and the ring shank makes them hold better. The cost up front is higher, but you won't have to deal with callbacks or early failures.

One and a quarter-inch stainless steel ring shank nails are enough for standard asphalt shingles on 1/2" sheathing. If you're using architectural shingles or a thicker deck, use 1-3/4 stainless coil nails to make sure they go deep enough (at least 3/4" into the deck).

Yes, for sure. Stainless steel ring shank roofing nails are the best way to fasten cedar shakes and shingles, in fact. Black streaks can form when galvanized nails come into contact with cedar tannins. Stainless steel doesn't react with anything and won't change the colour of the wood.

We keep stock of standard sizes like 1-3/4 stainless coil ring shank nails in 304 so that we can ship them right away. For 316 stainless steel or custom lengths, the lead time is usually 15 to 30 days, depending on how many you order. Send us your specifications and we'll give you a clear timeline.

Yes. Our stainless steel cap nails come with neoprene washers and are made to be used with metal roofing, synthetic underlayment, and house wrap. They come in coil collation for use with pneumatic guns.

Yes. You can use 304 and 316 stainless steel roofing nails with pressure-treated wood. When galvanized nails touch modern ACQ-treated wood, they can rust. But stainless steel does not react with anything.

Of course. Before you place a large order, you can try out our sample packs to see how well they hold up, how well they are put together, and how resistant they are to rust. Just let us know what size and coating you want, and we'll send you samples.

Ring shank nails have concentric ridges that grip wood fibres, making them 3 to 4 times stronger than smooth shank nails. They work great for roofs, sheathing, and any other place where pull-out resistance is important. Smooth shanks are fine for light-duty work inside.
