Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these nails suitable for marine environments?

While the galvanised finish offers good corrosion resistance, they are intended for general outdoor wood construction and may require stainless steel alternatives for harsh salt-spray environments.

Can I use these with a nail gun?

These are designed as manual drive screw nails and should be installed using a hammer.

What is the total weight of the box?

The product is supplied in a box containing five individual 1kg bags, totaling 5kg.

Will the galvanised coating peel off during hammering?

The finish is designed to be durable, but using a high-quality smooth-faced hammer will help prevent damage to the coating.

Are other sizes available?

Yes, Unifix offers similar galvanised cone head nails in other dimensions, such as 100 x 5.40mm and 125 x 6.40mm.

Troubleshooting

Nail head splintering the wood surface

Ensure the hammer strike is level and directly in line with the nail shank to avoid uneven pressure on the cone head.

Difficulty driving the nail into very dense wood

Consider drilling a small pilot hole that is slightly smaller than the 5.40mm gauge to reduce resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance due to galvanised coating
  • Cone head ensures a flush, secure fit
  • Convenient 5kg total bulk packaging
  • Excellent durability for structural wood applications

Cons

  • Not intended for masonry or metal surfaces
  • Bulk packaging may be excessive for minor household tasks
  • Requires proper hammering technique to avoid damaging the head

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, use a standard framing hammer. When driving these into wood, ensure the nail is aligned perpendicular to the surface to prevent splintering. While the galvanised finish is resistant to rust, it is recommended to store the remaining bags in a dry, cool area to maintain the integrity of the coating. These nails are fully compatible with pressure-treated lumber, though always verify local building codes regarding fastener coatings for specific environmental exposure.
