Barbarossa 1st Fix (51mm – 90mm) Bright Collated Framing Nails for Cordless nailers

Barbarossa 1st Fix Bright Collated Framing Nails are robust, high-performance fasteners designed for structural “first fix” carpentry and framing applications. These bright-finish nails deliver strong holding power and reliable feeding in cordless framing nailers, making them ideal for professional builders and serious DIYers working on timber framing and general construction where aesthetics are secondary to strength.

• Gauge / Diameter: Typically 2.8 mm – 3.1 mm (approx. .113″ – .120″) – provides excellent shear and withdrawal resistance for structural work.
• Lengths Available: 51 mm (2″), 63 mm (2½”), 75 mm (3″), 90 mm (3½”).
• Finish: Bright (plain steel) – economical, clean-looking finish best suited for interior or dry-use applications.
• Shank Options: Available in smooth shank (easier driving) or ring shank (superior holding power).
• Head: Clipped round D-head depending on collation and nailer compatibility.
• Point: Diamond or chisel point for fast penetration with reduced splitting.
• Collation: Paper tape collated for smooth, jam-free operation in cordless tools.

Material & Construction

• Manufactured from high-quality high-carbon steel for maximum strength and durability.
• Bright finish offers low corrosion protection, so these nails are recommended for indoor/dry environments only.

Applications

• Primary Uses (First Fix / Structural):
  • Timber frame construction
  • Stud walls and partition framing
  • Roof trusses and rafters
  • Floor joists and decking (interior)
  • Subflooring and sheathing
  • General heavy-duty carpentry and pallet/crate assembly
  • Fencing and internal timber structures

Compatibility

Designed specifically for cordless (and pneumatic) first-fix framing nailers. Compatible with popular models including DeWalt, Paslode, HiKOKI/Metabo, Makita, and others that accept the corresponding collation angle and nail diameter. Always verify your nailer’s manual for exact angle (21° plastic, 30° paper, etc.), head type, and length capacity.

Features & Benefits

• High Holding Power: Especially with ring-shank versions – excellent resistance to pull-out.
• Fast & Efficient: Precision collation and sharp points reduce misfires and increase productivity.
• Cost-Effective: Bright finish makes them more affordable than galvanised alternatives for interior work.
• Versatile Length Range: Covers most common framing thicknesses from 50 mm up to 90 mm.
• Pack Quantities: Typically 2,200 – 3,000 nails per box depending on length (e.g. longer nails often come in smaller counts per box).

Technical Notes

• Best For: Interior, dry conditions. For outdoor, treated timber, or humid areas, choose galvanised versions instead.
• Holding Power: Suitable for structural applications; always follow local building codes for spacing and quantities.
• Storage: Keep in a dry place to prevent surface rust.
• Safety: Use with appropriate PPE. Adjust nailer pressure to avoid over-driving.
