how durable are these nails on a scale of 1 to 10... looking for a sturdy nail with a bit of flexibility.

A few were damaged when I got mine, but I like them and I think it's worth how much your getting

I was questioning the same thing when I was waiting for them in the mail. But I'm just using them for recreational and didn't care. However when I got them, and inspected them. They are very strong. White tips only though. I've gotten tips to look great as while nails, so it doesn't matter what I buy. Now if you want them thicker, just do the acrylic normal, let it dry completely and add another layer. Keep doing so to the desired thickness, then file... You don't want much flexibility, as it will weaken greatly in the area that bends. If you mean to form to your own nail.. I understand, you just add the glue and hold super tight for about a minute linger than it says too, or longer than you personally would. I use 'hard as nails' with the helmet head guy hanging. Because its much stronger glue than normal nail glue. Hope that helps.

excluding the marvelously design-efficient nail head...i have nails in 2 different lengths here at my desk. one shaft is is 1 inch long the other shaft is 1 & 1/8 inches long i believe that the length varied because of the attached hook bearing weight ie.. 20 pds 50 pds etc etc for the past 20 years these incredibly steel strong nails have held 100 pd mirrors and 10 pound framed art. they leave no shattered plaster or ugly marks in sheetrock. the nail works easiay nd is super strong

I've had nails alive for 6 months (about) and mine is not getting any thicker. Sorry, can't help you.

Absolutely... The one I bought has a reset issue, but otherwise works great with up to 2inch nails. I load a half rack of nails instead of a full rack and that seems to help. I bought mine for $120. Well worth it!!!

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

I've only used them on drywall. They've never bent on me like the regular hanging nails.

I bought them for my girlfriend; they only lasted about a day. I would go with the ones that you have to apply the glue on the false nail. They're stronger and last much longer. The brand Kiss is by far the best shes ever used. Thank you for asking; hoped that answered your question.

I would say no. They don't last. I tried every top coat even under UV light. Pretty colors. They just wont hold up on nails for even a day.

The nail is about twice as thick as the corresponding part on a typical bulletin board push pin or thumb tack. In my opinion, the nail could be a bit longer, but they have worked out well for my chair.

I used regular nails when I used them for hanging really light things, like aprons. Now, I use drywall screws and they hold up well for heavier things, like jewelry or towels.

You will not have a problem. We have 2 dogs with very thick nails and they cut them no problem. They are very sharp and easy to use. We are very pleased with them!

How much do you spend on repairs and fuel cells? do the math and see if it make sense for you. There is no ongoing cost for this exept nails and it seems to work pretty good, Im sure it would preform well on solid hardwood (it will go through a formica countertop no problem and into wood below it). It's a semi precision tool and it wont take much abuse, but overall it really has alot more power than i thought it would. I'd say go for it.

Yes, if done correctly your nails will be too strong to break. You can always put an extra layer on the ends where you tend to pick at them. This product works very well for me.

On the 1.5" galvanized nail, I have not used that length but any brand will work as long as it is 21 - 22 degree and plastic collated. I presently use several different brands.The metal connector nails are hardened nails used to connect steel connectors such as joist hangers, truss anchors, hurricane ties, ect, and yes they are also 21-22 degrees and plastic collated. I have only used the Bostich brand on these. They are to be used with the pointed guide that comes with the gun vs the flat guide. FYI, about 20% of the nails I put into the metal connectors missed the hole completely yet I had no problems with either the gun or the nails.

If you get them done frequently then your natural nail will become weaker. But getting it done like once a month wont be that bad

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.
