Paslode Hot Dipped Galvanized Framing Nails 2 in.113 - 2,000/Box

In this review of the Paslode Hot Dipped Galvanized Framing Nails the bottom line is clear: these nails are built for framers and contractors who need durable, consistent drives in pressure treated lumber. The strongest reason to buy is reliable performance with Paslode nailers - the reinforced round head and polymer-coated heads deliver flush, consistent seating and reduce staining and streaking on wood. For anyone who uses Paslode Cordless XP or PowermasterPlus nailers, these nails offer fewer misfires and less cleanup thanks to paper tape collation.

Key Features

• Reinforced Round Head: The strong round head design improves drive performance and helps the nail sink flush even in dense or knotty lumber.
• Polymer Head Coating: A polymer coating on the nail head reduces staining and streaking by about 80% compared to standard hot dipped galvanized nails, preserving finish on visible work.
• RounDrive Paper Tape: Paper tape collation provides cleaner work areas with no plastic debris and gives about 10% more nails per strip versus generic designs.
• Paslode Compatibility: Specifically designed to run smoothly in Paslode Cordless XP and PowermasterPlus nailers to reduce jams and misfires on the job.
• Code Approved for Treated Lumber: Constructed to meet IRC R319.3 requirements for use in pressure treated lumber, making them suitable for exterior framing and decks.

Who It's For

These nails are aimed at professional framers, contractors, and serious DIYers who routinely work with pressure treated lumber and use Paslode framing nailers. The combination of corrosion resistance, a reinforced head, and paper tape collation makes them especially useful for fencing, framing, and exterior carpentry where consistent drives and reduced staining matter.

Casual users who rarely use a nailer or who do not own a Paslode tool might look elsewhere for general-purpose collated nails, as the specific compatibility and benefits are most apparent when paired with Paslode nailers.
