Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Copper nails are the correct fastener when working with copper flashings and are frequently specified for slate work where long, corrosion-proof shanks are needed. Because they are softer than steel, drive them with a controlled hammer blow or set them by hand to avoid bending. Buy by the pound and estimate usage from your fastening schedule.
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling and driving nails; keep fasteners away from children.
