Customer Reviews
Impressed the Framing & Roofing contractors 
2007-01-27
Building a new single family residence in east central Florida very near the coast. Framing & roofing contractors were unaware of the product which I happened to see in Popular Science magazine, and then checked out the product test video at Bostitch. Amazon delivered the nails before any specialty hardware had them on the shelves or could even order them in.
Bostitch will tell you any make of nailer that's compatible. All nails had uniform quality - I bought a nailer (on Amazon for about half what they are straight retail) and turned my neighbor on who's also building a new house. For under $300 (@ 2,500 square feet) we have the tightest roof decking for many miles around!!!
The nails sold here are bright finish which means no corrosion protection 
2008-04-07
Just be careful, the PN here matches Bostitch site for these however all the pictures are incorrect. All of them show these nails coated as either zinc or galvanized finished and they are not, the box says bright finish. I have them rusting in the box after a week on my covered patio. I've shot a few hundred of these and they shoot fine and seems strong but I'm using them in Florida and they will surely rust out in record time and as such they probably are not even up to code for here. So unless you live somewhere dry and cold find a galvanized nail. Great price but not when you have to buy twice (a galvanized replacement). Anyone want to buy 4000 nails? Looks like I have a few hundred nails to re-shoot.
Simply the best design.... 2008-03-26
I have ever seen for a sheathing nail. While I live in hurricane alley and this product was a non-brainer because of that, I cant see why almost anyone building a new home wouldnt consider these for their significantly higher holding power given a relatively small premium in price to standard alternatives.
Highly recommended.
nails have bending problem in our application 
2007-08-23
After reading the data on these nails, I purchased a box of the .131 and requested that our builder use them to attach structural 1 OSB to studs. This is a retrofit project so the studs are dry (50yrs dry) In the field, they report that the nails are bending. They are not penetrating the OSB properly or the studs are too dry. Since here in CA we are concerned with shear not hurricane pressure, we switched to 10d instead. Shipping was nearly as much as the product.
Repackaged Nails 2007-04-19
I am a Florida builder and I purchased both the .113 and the .131 hurriquake nails. One order has been shipped back because the stick nails were obviously factory seconds (ie: many of the "sticks" were not complete...just bits and pieces.) The second order arrived in a damaged Bostich box that had been taped up and a sticker on the box stated "Recieved possibly damaged". Again, the nails appeared to have arrived from some warehouse that threw the nails into a box...taped it up and shipped it out. There were also a number of nails thrown in the box that were not complete "sticks" just bits and pieces. I will not be buying from this source again.
Fantastic nails... 2007-03-29
We do sesimic retrofits in the Seattle area (waiting for the big one) and use these for shear wall applications on the pony walls in basements for these wonderful old Seattle houses where city code calls for a nailing pattern every 4" around the perimeter and every 6" in the field. We use a structural engineer to sign off on these projects and provide a letter stating how much the strength of the house has been increased. If you make a mistake, don't even think about pulling one of these out, it won't work!
Our engineer was very impressed, as are our clients. Fortunately, no one else in this business in Seattle has advertised their use, which is fine with me.
Please buy these if you want a very strong house...but not in Seattle!
