Using these galvanized collated fasteners, our team found that the installation process is a lot smoother and quicker. The nails align perfectly with each other, preventing jams and misfires.The galvanized coating provides extra resistance against corrosion and rust, making them perfect for outdoor use. However, the price is slightly higher than non-galvanized fasteners but the added durability and reduced maintenance make them worth the investment. We highly recommend these fasteners to contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike..
