Review on πŸ”¨ BOSTITCH C8R90BDG Thick Coat 2-inch Nail 0.90-inch by Omar Alradwan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nails too soft for Hardiplank?

I bought these to install Hardiplank fiber cement siding. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can't get these nails to penetrate the siding. The Bostitch N66C-1 pistol I use at 100-110psi just blows the nail into the nose of the gun and causes a terrible jam. I'm starting to think the nails are too soft. They seem to ride full depth quite well in 2x4 so I think I'll just use them for trimming and fencing.

Pros
  • Ring Rail
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
