As someone with limited experience in the industrial and scientific field, I was hesitant to purchase these collated fasteners. But thanks to my knowledge gained in practice I can assure you that they are worth the investment. The galvanized finish ensures long-lasting durability on any job site, and the 18 gauge size is perfect for a variety of projects. The only downside is the higher price point compared to other options on the market. Overall, these fasteners have exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them for any industrial application. .
