What Customers Are Saying

The aluminum siding nails have mixed reviews. Some customers found them to work well, while others reported issues with the nails bending or breaking, especially when used on harder materials like plywood or OSB. The nail heads also tend to rip off when attempting removal. The nails may be suitable for softer materials like vinyl siding, but are not recommended for denser wood surfaces.

Total Waste of $$

Would Not Recommend

Nailing into plywood sheathing, most bend on first strike with a hammer, when you try to pull it out the head comes off or bends, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
