Counter to the previous reviewer. This price is actually not out of line at all for the quality. Home Depot and Lowes do not carry 3 inch, which I prefer to use for frame work. These nails are very high quality and have a nice cement coat on the front half of the nail to prevent backout. I drove over 1000 of these nails when finishing my basement no jam's no bent nails all sunk to about 3/32 below the surface on a strait drive at about 85 to 90 psi. I have an FR350 Porter Cable, if you are wondering what gun I used.

This product works great with the Porter Cable framing nailer. I mistakenly purchased the half head nails before which continuously caused jamming. I replaced them with B&C Eagles Round Head and it immediately relieved that issue.

Good price, free shipping, fast delivery, high quality.

I use these in my Porter-Cable gun. Work perfectly every time. I ordered a second and third box.

I used these when I framed an outdoor shed and a couple animal shelters. These was no jamming or mis-fires in my nail gun.

These nails were what I had expected when I ordered them. They work just fine and don't cause any jambs or mishaps in my Porter Cable nailer. It's just that I've found them at a lower price at several places locally.

These nails work perfectly in my Porter Cable Framing Nailer. I have used 250 nails and I have not had one jam, NOT ONE! This cannot be said for the nails you'd fine at Home Depot or Lowes, the nails they sell aren't the correct degree of angle and they are PAPER collated not PLASTIC collated (BIG DIFFERENCE) thus jamming is going to occur. Most small jobs can be done with a box of 500. Building a whole this box of 500 will not do, but for small to medium sized projects, this is winner. Complaining because the price is too high is not the nail manufacturers fault this is the posted rate for their product, and if you felt burned after going to the big box stores, then this is your own fault. Bottom Line: For Porter Cable Nailers that require 22 degree angle this is an excellent choice.

I could not find these nails at any of the big box home improvement stores.
But Amazon had them. They are exactly what I needed. They were a good price, and arrived promptly. What more can you ask for?

I gave these nails three stars because of the current pricing. Home Depot and Lowes both sell boxes of these nails at 4000 per box. The current pricing as of August 2010 is $38.98 for an entire 4000 box. The current Amazon price is $14.53 for 500, so 4000 nails is $116.24. Nearly triple the cost.

Ok you can't compair to lowes their high to begin with. But It does seem high priced for 500 nails. hope these are the right nails for my gun.
C/h ironforce. also the free shipping is very slow. like a snail with
a broken leg.By the time they get here I can use them to nail down my ice shanty on the lake.

Nails too overpriced. Check local store prices before purchasing. Loved Nail gun not nail prices.
