Product Information
Full details
The Unifix Clout Nails Galv are designed for professional contractors and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, heavy-duty fastening for roofing, fencing, and general construction projects. These nails offer exceptional durability and rust resistance thanks to their high-quality galvanised finish, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity in outdoor environments. While they provide excellent holding power, users should note that the 25kg bulk packaging is specifically intended for large-scale projects, which may be more than necessary for small-scale household repairs.

FAQs
Can these nails be used for interior projects?
While they are intended for construction, they can be used for interior framing; however, they are usually overkill for basic interior finishing work.
Are these nails weather-resistant?
Yes, the galvanised finish provides excellent rust resistance, making them specifically suited for outdoor and roofing applications.
Do I need a special tool to use these nails?
No, they are compatible with both standard hammers and most common nail guns.
Are these nails suitable for hardwood?
They work well with most construction-grade timber; for extremely dense hardwoods, you may need to pilot drill to avoid splitting the wood.
How should I store these to prevent rusting?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct contact with moisture or chemicals to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating.
Troubleshooting
Nail head sinking too deep into soft wood
Adjust the depth setting on your pneumatic nail gun or reduce the force of manual hammer strikes.
Nail bending during installation
Ensure the nail is being driven straight and check that you are not hitting underlying hidden hardware or knots in the timber.
Signs of rust appearing prematurely
Check that the galvanised coating was not scratched or stripped during installation. Apply a cold-galvanising spray or touch-up paint to any exposed metal areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, store the 25kg container in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture from compromising the box integrity or affecting the galvanised finish over long periods. When using with a nail gun, verify that your magazine is adjusted to the appropriate gauge for the 2.65mm (or varying diameters in the range) shaft size to prevent jamming. If manual nailing, use a standard claw hammer, and aim to strike the head squarely to ensure the nail is driven flush with the surface of your material. To maintain the galvanised layer, avoid using high-impact tools that could strip the coating during the driving process.
