I am not one to put down any one or any company but why would I look at this product twice when I can get the same size Plain Shank Full Head Framing Nail in a 4000 pack at Lowes for $30.00. That's over 3000 extra nails for the same price. It will be interesting to see if this review shows up. I have used this brand and see no difference then other brands for less money such as Grip Rite. I have looked at the (review guidelines) I do not own stock in any home building supply company but I would like to see my fellow tool users get the most value for there money. Price, quantity and quality go hand and hand with any product. My name is Scott I am a tool addict. Thanks for letting me share.
ADDED 5-4-2011.. Good nails but shop for the better price. DON'T BOTHER WITH HOME D. CHECK LOWES EVERYDAY PRICES

good nails, good collating, but they are not 3-1/2 inches long, only 3-1/4......

If you have a Porter Cable FR350, for some reason finding nails can be a slight problem. The mega home store with the orange sign has them, but not consistently. So these are a good stop-gap until you can find more.

They drive well and seem to hold well.

If you are looking for the highest quality nails for your nails gun then you better get these. I have used these forever and they have performed to the highest extent the whole time. They have never jammed or messed up my guns. These are top of the line

These may be great nails, but they'll probably jam and misfire with the Porter Cable FR530 nail gun. The FR530 needs plastic-collated nails, not paper-collated like these are. I made the mistake of buying a ... case of paper-collated nails, only to have non-stop problems with them. Only on the Porter Cable website does it mention that the gun uses plastic-collated.

I used these nails in a Porter Cable round head framing nailer. They worked very well and I have not had a single misfire or jam. I can only speak from experience for the Porter Cable nailer, but highly recommend them for this particular nailer.

Bought the nail package with the nail gun, Bad idea! I should have paid attn. to the quantity. Way overpriced & only enough for a small project.

Primary packaging is pretty flimsy. (lightweight cardboard) The overpack (wadded up paper) was effective though because no broken sticks!

I would like to see a better match for the gun, and larger quantities at local store prices. The nails have yet to jam; however, the gun stops ALWAYS with about 3 to 5 nails left in gun and I just need to keep adding some more to keep gun going.

I have used these nails with a Bostitch F21PL framing nailer and they have performed flawlessly, never jamming and never failing to set properly. That's about as much as I could ask of any nail. The box is relatively small, suitable for smaller projects and is not what you would be using if you were in production on a large housing site. Building a roof on your garage? Knocking together a small workshop, shed, or treehouse for your kids? This is a good amount.

The only question in my mind is one of value. It's true that these can be had in larger quantities for less at some big box stores - I've seen 'em. Depending on whether you already have a trip to that big box store planned and whether it is close, the savings may or may not be worth the trip. This reviewer's time is worth something, and free shipping brought these nails into an acceptable range for me at the time I purchased them. If I regularly went through thousands of nails at a time, the value proposition may change.

The nails in the box that was sent to me were made in Canada, for those to whom that matters.

Bottom line for me: Five stars for nails that performed as they should, never jammed, and came at a fair price.
