Enhance Precision with Spot Nails 15116APS: 2 Inch Stainless Steel Nails Review

Couldn't find any stainless steel nails in bigger stores so I was happy to order them online. They fit my Hitachi nailer and hold the surface of my grill cabinet very well. No stains as they are stainless steel.

Installation of T&G Cypress Siding on a large lot. I ordered these nails and had no problems other than some of the plastic boxes they were opened in during shipping. But none of the clips were broken so they work fine.

They worked perfectly in my Craftsman nailer. 1/2 box driven without dropouts and traffic jams. They seem to shoot fairly evenly. I am laying 5/8" cedar sheet pile on top of a 10 x 10 barn and will be making my house in the fall.

There were no problems with these nails, I keep buying. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 is a small issue with the glue holding the nails to the hole where the nail is driven. Easily removed with a nylon brush and a slight inconvenience for a great product.

Need stainless steel nails to install cedar wood boards on outdoor steps. so i ordered them. They are perfect for my Bosch nailer. They've been on the road for about 2 months now and aren't rusting, so I think they really are SS. Buy some of these if you need to use a finish nailer for an outdoor project!

CONS: The container that holds these finishing nails is poorly made. One of the ribbons was missing, resulting in only 950 in the box instead of the advertised 1000. PRO: So far they're firing reliably from my Dewalt electric nailer. After contacting the seller about my issues, he agreed to give me a partial refund.

I have used several cases of these on Hardie 4/4 and 5/4 surfaces with a Hitachi nailer. I had no jams or misfires and experienced consistent penetration. About 40% of the time the glue that holds them together sticks in a small curl at the head of the nail and can be hard to see or feel until you paint over it. They don't bend as easily as normal steel nails. I find them a bit expensive and would only use them for special purposes.

I rarely check my purchases, but this one is really annoying. I used to buy Spotnails brand stainless steel pins and nails with good results. Of course, Revain's packaging is always crap — it's usually a box of nails in a 12" x 12" x 6" box with a piece of bubble wrap floating inside. This box of nails broke that hurdle and I put them in my tool box. After a few months in my air conditioned workshop you can see in the picture how the soft plastic bond between the nails broke and loosened them…
