Paslode Has Done It Again - Improved RounDrive Framing Nail
Paslode has improved their RounDrive 30° degree paper tape framing nails yet again, making them one of the highest quality framing nails on the market. Let's take a look at some of the improvements, which include ease of drive and improved holding power.
Ease of Drive
RounDrive framing nails now boast improved ease of drive when sinking nails into tough lumber. A more consistent coating area leads to higher retention of the nail's coat. The outer surface of the nail spine also has less contact with other nails when packaged - creating minimal coating wear during handling. Paslode cites an independent study, comparing current Paslode RounDrive nails with new Paslode RounDrive nails - finding the new nails have improved penetration rates up to 40%.
Holding Power
The coating on these nails is also thicker, thanks to a groovy spine on the nail, which captures additional coating as it is applied. Paslode tells us another main reason for improved holding power results from an increase to the surface area of the nail, which makes contact with metal.In addition to these improvements, RounDrive 30° degree paper tape brite framing nails continue to offer the same benefits they always have, including: rigid and compact strips that are easy to handle, reinforced nail heads for tighter spacing, and the same number of nails per strip. If you're looking for an improved framing nail, we suggest you try these out.
