What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on these aluminum nails. Most report significant durability issues, with nails bending or breaking during normal installation, particularly in harder materials. However, some find them adequate for light-duty repairs on soft materials like vinyl siding when hammered carefully. Reviewers consistently cite the material's softness as problematic despite acknowledging corrosion resistance. A smaller group appreciates the head size and lightweight design, though even satisfied users note limitations. Overall, performance depends heavily on application and technique, leaving many frustrated while others find specific uses worthwhile.

Soft nails bend easily. Better be almost perfect.
Would Not RecommendThese work. Being aluminum, they won't rust and stain the siding. But being aluminum, they are very, very soft.

Good think I had some 60-year old good quality galvanized roofing nails saved from removing the old tar-paper shingle type siding from corners and other locations. Those nails had been exposed to weather for 60 ...

Mixed results.
Would Not RecommendTheyre aluminum- and they will work in optimal conditions (for the nail not the carpenter). If youre nailing into something like 1/2" OSB and hit the nail square they do fine. However anything more dense like 2x4 material thats had a couple decades to harden up or if the house has the old t&g boards behind the new sheathing forget it. I've searched multiple suppliers across the internet- seems no one makes or carries a sturdy aluminum siding nail. Id steer clear of these unless its a new house ...

Bends easily
Does not go in straight without bending. If you try to remove the nail, the head rips off like a pop can tab.

No such product.. wild goose chase
Would Not RecommendHad a good chuckle for my time, left poor salesmen scratching their heads. Instead of this product the Aluminum siding nails attached to this product number are an entirely different brand and a much larger size diameter and head. At least at Cranberry store, maybe better luck at yours... lol

Don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendCheapest nail I have ever used. They bend on one hammer hit and break on another. I have used thousands of siding nails in the past, avoid this brand and type of nail.
