More nails than you can shake a nailer at

You spend a lot of time and money on carpentry. Perhaps it is your livelihood or an intensive hobby. Either way, you need a reliable source of materials, especially quality nails. You have come to the right place. FastenerUSA offers the choice and convenience that you need to complete your projects with durability and punctuality. If you use a nailer, you can select them from coil and strip nails compatible with a number of tools. Our nails come in a number of different angles, gauges, heads and metal types.

THE RIGHT QUALITY NAILS FOR YOUR PROJECTS

Stainless steel nails are an excellent choice if you are concerned about discoloration on projects that will sit outside or be exposed to high humidity. You can also select from two types of galvanized products: hot-dip and electro. If you are a roofer, you will find exactly the coil nail you need, both smooth shank and ringed. Lengths start at 3/4" and go to 1.75" coming in many varieties that offer cost savings. If you need a copper roofing nail, we have those, too. Perhaps you are handling both ends of the house: the roof and the hardwood floor. If that is the case, you will need flooring cleat nails, also available here.

CHOOSE FASTENER USA

One big advantage of ordering from us is that many of our products come with free shipping in three to five days. You do not need to head out to the big box store or the specialty supply store. You will receive exactly what you ordered delivered directly to your door. Why waste time driving to and looking through all the aisles at the store?

Another benefit is that, when ordering here, you will spend only on what you need. At the store, there are all kinds of temptations, and most of the time you end up buying more than you need - a new staple gun, that packet of sandpaper, or just a screwdriver.
