Key Features

Why Choose Box Nails?
While common nails provide maximum shear strength, they can often crack wood near the ends of boards. These box nails offer the perfect middle ground: sufficient holding power with a reduced risk of ruining your expensive trim or siding.
Pro Tip: When working with ACQ pressure-treated lumber, always ensure your fasteners are Hot-Dipped Galvanized (like these!) to prevent the chemicals in the wood from eating through the metal.
