Our team of engineers leads the industry in innovation and design. Utilizing our advanced laboratory, our team of engineers conducts environmental testing to study the effects of storm forces and other weather conditions, withdrawal testing to evaluate new coatings, penetration testing to evaluate drive characteristics, and development testing to optimize withdrawal, shear and pull-through performance. Bostitch® stick nails are designed, engineered and manufactured in four different forms and are generally identified by what holds the nails together – plastic, wire, paper or adhesive. Adhesive collation is used on finish nails and brads for trim and fine woodwork. Finish nails and brads range in length from 3/8” to 2-1/2” with diameters ranging from 15 to 23 gauge. The plastic, wire and paper collated nails are used for general framing and crating applications. Stick nails range in length from 1-1/2” to 6-1/4” with diameters ranging from 0.113 to 0.165 inches.
