FAQs
What Are Coil Nails?
Coil nails consist of a group of nails arranged in a circular shape and connected by a metal piece. These nails are versatile and have various applications, including, but not limited to, roofing, fencing, framing, and siding. Due to their nature, they make the reloading process easier and faster. Also, they come in conical and flat.
How Many Coil Roofing Nails in a Box?

It is advisable to use five nails per shingle for windy areas, totaling around 480 nails per square.
What Is a Coil Nailer?
A coil nailer is designed to effortlessly insert nails into wood and sheet metal, making construction and renovation tasks easier. It's important to note that not all coil nailers are equal. The key difference lies in the need for a specialized tool for roofing coil nails. Framing coil nailers can also be used for siding, depending on the specifications.
Can a Coil Roofing Nailer Be Used for Siding?
Yes, however, it is not advisable. Although the coil roofing nailer is intended for a specific use, it can also be utilized for siding installation. When using a roofing nailer for siding, it is crucial to employ blind nailing. Although the larger heads of roofing nails may be deemed unattractive, blind nailing allows for a larger holding surface without visibility.
