Review on πŸ”¨ BOSTITCH S12D FH 120-Inch Framing Nailer with 12-Degree Angle by Rick Everett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality but for our fence project we needed a thicker nail.

We used these nails in an older Bostitch pneumatic nailer to make a fence of 2 x 6 planks of reclaimed lumber to build. Unfortunately the nails weren't the size we expected and needed so the nail technician often hammered in two nails at once which meant we had to pull them out with a pry bar and try again. It was very frustrating and time consuming, but we finally completed the project. Of course we cannot blame Bostitch nails for our mistake in not ordering a thicker gauge. Live and learn I guess. If you plan to build something with old thick wood, be sure to buy a thick thick nail.

Pros
  • Full Round Head 3-1/4" x .120" 28 degree skeletal nail with wire tie
Cons
  • I don't remember
