Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Sixteen-penny common nails at 3-1/2 in. are the workhorse fastener for stud walls, headers and general framing. Keep a 5 lb box on hand for framing crews and repair work. For exterior or treated-lumber exposure, step up to hot-dip galvanized or coated ring-shank nails instead of relying on electro-galvanized plating.
Wear safety glasses when hand nailing or operating a nail gun, and follow the tool manufacturer's safety instructions for fastener size and collation.
Add a 5 lb box of 3-1/2 in. 16D electro-galvanized framing nails to your cart for dependable general-purpose nailing.
