The nails themselves seemed to have a very thin zinc coating and were not aligned especially well in the strip. You could find yourself tearing them out and starting over with nails from a known reputable manufacturer. I sent mine back. The product came in a plain cardboard box with no indication anywhere who the manufacturer is even though the Amazon website says B & C Eagle. Keep 'em if you're making a dog house or fence, but don't risk it for anything important.

The box did have a prominent warning on the outside stating that the unnamed manufacturer would not warranty the galavanize coating against deterioration for any period of time. (they weren't all parallel to each other) I didn't use any so I can't say if the misalignment would have caused any jams but I'd rather see better quality control. I recommend that you don't use this product for any serious outdoor structural project that will need to be inspected, especially ACQ treated lumber. Your inspector may want to know that you used quality fasteners.

Bought these 3 1/2 inch nails for framing a garden shed and they worked as expected with a Porter-Cable FR350A framing nailer. Use only galvanized or stainless steel nails for exterior structures. Porter-Cable FR350A Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing NailerThe ring shank bites hard into the wood, do not use for temporary nailing of braces etc. The only misfires I had was when hitting a knot in the timber or if there was too much plastic leading the first nail in the sheet.

These work quite well in my Porter Cable nail gun. I typically have very positive experience buying from Amazon Vendors. What I like most is being able to buy these in small quantities. Sure, they cost more but for a homeowner that does not do but one or two projects a year this is a perfect quantity.Also shipment/service was prompt.

3-1/2 inch, 22 degree Round Head Galvanized Nails were not available in any of the home improvement chain stores. Nails worked perfect in the Porter Cable framing nailer. Amazon came through again.

As promised, 3.5 inch, galvanized framers, shipped fast and ready for use. I really don't need 5,000 so being able to buy these smaller quantities as needed is great, even if it is a little pricey.
