FAQs
What length of first fix nails should I use for framing?
The length of first fix nails you should use for framing will depend on the thickness of the wood you are using. As a general rule, you should use nails that are 2.5 times the thickness of the wood. For example, if you are framing with 2x4s, you should use nails that are at least 100mm long.
What is the difference between smooth shank and ring shank nails?
Smooth shank nails have a smooth surface, while ring shank nails have a textured surface that provides additional holding power. Ring shank nails are ideal for use in hardwoods, treated lumber, and other tough materials, while smooth shank nails are better suited for softer woods and materials that do not require as much holding power.
Can I use first fix nails with a hammer?
First fix nails are designed for use with pneumatic or cordless nail guns, and are not intended to be used with a hammer. Using a hammer to drive first fix nails can result in improper installation and can also be dangerous.
