Description

One of the challenges we face as a collated nails and staples supplier is that terms are often used interchangeably, or with “Paslode nails” used as a general term in the same way that ‘Hoover’ is still used as a general term for any brand of a vacuum cleaner. Galvanised nails gain their corrosion resistance from a zinc coating. If the coating becomes damaged, however, there won’t be anything to stop the nail within from corroding. It’s also possible that some naturally occurring acids and salts in some timbers can corrode the zinc coating. If you’re working with cedar or iroko, for example, you’d best opt for stainless Paslode nails or similar. Stainless steel nail gun nails have the corrosion resistance ‘baked in’ with chromium or other elements used in the nail’s composition to create superior rustproofing. So if it’s great value, low moisture and general purpose you’re after, galvanised gun nails should be fine. Aren’t galvanised and stainless steel collated nails the same thing? It’s easy to think so: both are steel and both offer some degree of rustproofing. The difference comes in their durability – and that’s a result of their construction. Stainless steel Paslode nails have long been the industry standard for collated nails, and with good reason. But these are not the only nails in the UK capable of delivering great performance and durability.

Brad-style collated nails in a nail gun are finishing nails. They’re ideal for woods with fine grains that would split under a heavier nail. They’re also handy for showing off your handiwork without the nail being visible. Frequently, though, they won’t have the holding power of collated staples. What’s the difference between nail gun nails and gun staples? Is there a cheaper alternative to Paslode nails in the UK? What’s the advantage of using galvanised gun nails? Read our guide below to find out. Evaluating the various brands of 1st fix collated nails can save you and your business lots of money. When it comes to the standard 34 degree clipped head 1st fix nails there is not much difference from one brand to another apart from the price. The most popular brand for collated nails is “Paslode”. This brand term is the same as collated nails and most tradesmen don’t consider it an alternative brand or even know that they are available. As a result of this, “Paslode” branded nails for nail guns are very expensive, even with the cheaper trade supply stores. The Paslode Impulse IM350 and the IM350+ are probably the most widely used nail guns out there. Tradesmen will look to use the matching branded collated gun nails, but our nails will hold up just as well in these guns. They are also suitable for use with many more alternative nail guns that use 34 degree clipped head nails. At Tradefix Direct, we supply Champion, Tacwise and Firmahold collated gun nails at great value. These are also high performance alternatives to Paslode collated nails.Collated staples have a distinct role to play compared to your average nail. Nail gun staples hold two pieces of wood together with their double prong, and can be used on hard woods. If there’s a downside, it’s that staples are always visible.
