Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Box nails have a slightly thinner shank than common nails of the same penny size, making them less prone to splitting but lower in shear capacity; use common nails where maximum structural holding is required. The 50 lb. bulk carton is economical for crating and sheathing work, and the electro-galvanized finish suits general exterior exposure.
Wear safety glasses when hand-driving nails and keep fingers clear of the strike point.
