Sandable, Cuttable Nails

[planman]

"I've been using a cheapo Milwaukee nail gun with the plastic nails and it works fine. Some woods or grains cause the nails to shatter. I don't know if this is my gun or a limitation of the nail. My total investment is about $20 including shipping for a box of plastic nails."

John,

Can you tell us which nails you have been using and what they cost?

Thank you,

Charles

I bought a couple boxes of Raptor nails and found the 1" length to work the best in my Porter Cable (BN 125A, 18 Ga.) gun. As mentioned before, they wanter more than metal nails so that has to be taken into account.

I was able to buy the nails by the box from a marine supplier:
