Key Features

• 21 degree plastic collation: The plastic-joined strip is compatible with most 20 to 22 degree framing nailers, simplifying loading and rapid firing.
• 2 in length,.113 shank: This size offers strong holding power for framing, lathing, and sheathing while remaining usable in common framing applications.
• 1000 per box: The large count reduces downtime from reloading and is convenient for medium to large jobs where quantity matters.
• Versatile use: Suitable for finishing fastening of new materials and general nailing of wood, offering a practical choice for varied tasks.
• Secure packaging: Improved packaging helps protect the nails during shipment so they arrive ready to use.

Who It's For

The BHTOP 2 in framing nails are best for carpenters, framers, and homeowners who own a compatible 20 to 22 degree plastic collation framing nailer and need a reliable, economical nail for sheathing, lath work, and general framing. The nails suit users who value corrosion resistance and a familiar smooth shank profile for predictable driving and holding.

Those who need specialty coatings for exterior exposure beyond basic galvanization, or who require different collation angles or head styles, should look elsewhere. Also, users who run pneumatic nailers requiring wire or paper collation will need a different product.
