Not much to say about the nails - They are exactly as described and fit my Bostitch nailer.

Sadly, Amazon shipped them loose in a cardboard box. The factory package broke open and the 4" sticks of nails were broken into 1/2 to 2" clumps. They still work, just more of a hassle loading.

I have used several brands of finish nails, I am a professional builder. I bought a new bostich trim nail gun. It is the greatest gun I have ever owned. It is however finicky on using only Bostich brand nails, which is fine. The Bostich nails I purchased here continuously jammed, as do the generic nails. I am a huge Amazon fan, a customer now for years. I will continue to be an Amazon customer, but this product was not to the standard I am used to for nails. Also, they came packaged in a parcel and were scattered out of the box. I very much am convinced this is not the same product I have been using from Bostitch.

All 1000 nails worked well. There was not a single jam. The nails were used with a bostitch finish nailer.

I found out about the product via the Bostitch web-site. The ad on the Bostitch Web-Site specifically noted that I was buying 2,000 nails, and I received only 1,000 nails. I spoke with a rep at Bostitch who told me that she knew nothing of what I spoke, and that I was to call Amazon. I was also unable to reach a human at Amazon.

Be certain that you read the web-page & any advertisements with extreme care. I also found out that the same product at a Home Center sells for 40% less than what I paid at Amazon.

These are great brads! They were shipped carefully so the strips didn't break like the previous reviewer stated.

I purchased this finish nailer online to install various pieces of molding around my home and it works wonderfully. I highly recommend this product. One thing I didn't know was that it comes with a pack of 1000 ct. 2" nails in the case.

This package of nails were thrown in a cardboard box along with a new nailer & some bubble packing. During shippment, the plastic packaging for the nails broke open, & the nails got loose. A bunch of the "clips" of nails broke into smaller pieces (still useable, but a pain), and some dribbled out of the cardboard box seams on my driveway, sidewalk, & front porch. Next time, I'll buy them at a store.

Late delivery, expensive and opened package (it said 'new').

Bad retailer. Never buying anything from them again.
