These nails survived shipping to us just fine. They seem to be of a more ductile metal than other 1 3/4 roofers we use in that price range, e.g., griprite. They drive easier from the gun and aren't as brittle so the heads don't snap off if you have to pull them, but they have a tendency to bend more when pounding by hammer. They seem to hold as well as a nail that length should. Occasionally in cold weather the lower wire between nails snaps before the nail advances (this happened in different model roofing nailers) creating a jam easily cleared by advancing the nail manually.

A solid product for the price, but it might be worth paying for a slightly more reliable brand if it would cost more in labor over the life of the whole box to pay guys to clear the occasional jam.

The box of nails was shipped with no outer box to protect it. It took a beating in shipping, many of the coils were bent and distorted which causes them to jam in the nail gun. The coils that were undamaged worked well in my Milwaukee nail gun, but I did have to examine each coil before using them.

I'm new to roofing with nail gun but didn't want to spend all week up on a hot roof. So I purchased a Factory-Reconditioned Ridgid ZRR175RND 1-3/4-in Roofing Coil Nailer and a box of these B & C Eagle Nails. We were able to roof the whole pole barn in 2 days. I think the nails jamed in the gun only 2 times. Could be because we were new to doing this. But we shot about 5000 nail and are very happy.
