Customer Reviews:

Great nails - buy them somewhere else [Posted on 2007-03-28]
Purchased these from Amazon and I agree with previous review - packaging was pitiful - I got books with better shipping. Nails were swimming around in the box, and nearly burst it open. These nails are useless or time consuming if they are broken up. I cannot send them back, because (1) it is a PIA and (2) I need to get the work done now. I am really going to have to find a local source. BTW - I love the nails and my Porta-nailer.

Buying these online is a ripoff [Posted on 2007-05-14]
I bought these nails the same time I bought the Porta-nailer, which was priced right, thinking that they would both come together. I ended up going to Home Depot to get nails because these came 8 days later. At HD I found these $20 nails (same brand and size) for $13 and that was without shipping. Buy them at Lowe's or HD and use the rest of the money for a six-pack of quality beer.

Great nails, but poor packaging [Posted on 2007-12-21]
Items arrived roughly handled and many of the nails were broken loose from their glue strips. This made loading the nailer more time consuming as I had to load a bunch of small cluster of nails rather then 1 complete strip at a time.

Great product but Amazon's packaging is awful [Posted on 2008-03-21]
I heartily agree with the other comments here about the terrible packaging job Amazon did. The nails were shipped in an overly large box with some air-pack bubbles thrown casually in with them. Manufacturer's box was ripped open during handling and the nails were broken and scattered all over. The manufacturer's box needs to be tightly packed in the outer shipping carton or these nails will be useless upon arrival.

I called Amazon and to their credit, they shipped me another box gratis, but I was delayed in a project until getting more nails.

what's to review, they're nails... [Posted on 2008-10-20]
Not much to review about a box of nails but...

Save your money on the Porta Nail nailset. I use standard round nail set which works fine. I'm now into my 10th box of nails so it isn't beginner's luck.

I live near Lowe's, which sells them for $23, so even with shipping and the crummy packaging they are much cheaper through Amazon as long as I can wait.
