What Customers Are Saying

The steel cap nails are generally viewed as a reliable and affordable option for securing various materials like roofing felt, house wrap, insulation, and tarps. Many customers found the nails easy to use, with the plastic caps helping to prevent tearing. The nails were praised for their holding power and ability to withstand wind and weather. However, some customers noted the nails can bend or break easily, especially when used with harder materials. A few also mentioned issues with the plastic caps separating from the nails. Overall, the nails seem suitable for a variety of home improvement and construction projects, though their durability may vary depending on the application.

Not perfect but they work

Would Recommend

The nails bend and the little caps are brittle and crack off very easily when you whack them, which is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because it makes the nails easy to remove if needed. Curse because you've got to hit the nails at just the right angle or they bend in half, the cap breaks off, or both. Takes some practice to build muscle memory and then it's fine but expect sacrifices. Might want to buy an extra box.

Useful, but don't hold up too long outside

Would Recommend

I usually keep a box of these cap nails to temporarily hold down or hang different things. These cap nails would be more useful if they were weather resistant, but the plastic falls apart after a couple of months in the sun and the nail shows signs of rust if there is a lot of moisture.
