Barbarossa 1st Fix (51mm – 90mm) Galvanised Collated Framing Nails for Cordless Nailers
Barbarossa 1st Fix Galvanised Collated Framing Nails are heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for structural “first fix” carpentry and framing applications. The galvanised coating provides excellent rust protection, making these nails suitable for both interior and exterior use, including treated timber, outdoor structures, and humid environments. They deliver strong holding power and reliable performance in cordless framing nailers for professional builders and serious DIYers.
Key Specifications
- Gauge / Diameter: 2.8 mm – 3.1 mm (approx. .113″ – .120″) – offers superior shear and withdrawal resistance for structural framing.
- Lengths Available: 51 mm (2″), 63 mm (2½”), 75 mm (3″), 90 mm (3½”).
- Finish: Hot-dipped or electro-galvanised for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Shank Options: Available in smooth shank (easier driving) or ring shank (maximum holding power – recommended for exterior work).
- Head: Full round or clipped/offset round head to suit collation and nailer type.
- Point: Diamond or chisel point for fast penetration and reduced splitting.
- Collation: Plastic strip or paper tape collated (typically 21° or 30° angle) for smooth, jam-free feeding in cordless nailers.
Material & Construction
- Manufactured from high-carbon steel with a thick galvanised zinc coating for long-term protection against rust and moisture.
- Ideal for projects where the nails will be exposed to the elements or in contact with treated timber.
Applications
- Primary Uses (First Fix / Structural):
- Timber frame construction
- Stud walls and external framing
- Roof trusses, rafters, and battens
- Floor joists and decking (including exterior)
- Subflooring, sheathing, and cladding
- Fencing, pergolas, sheds, and outdoor timber structures
- General heavy-duty carpentry in humid or exposed conditions
Compatibility
Designed for cordless (and pneumatic) first-fix framing nailers. Compatible with popular models such as DeWalt, Paslode, HiKOKI/Metabo, Makita, and others. Always check your specific nailer for the correct collation angle (21° plastic or 30° paper), head type, and maximum nail length.Features & Benefits
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Galvanised finish protects against rust in outdoor and humid environments.
- High Holding Power: Especially strong with ring-shank versions – superior pull-out resistance.
- Reliable Feeding: Precision collation and consistent manufacturing reduce jamming.
- Versatile: Suitable for both interior dry use and exterior/exposed applications.
- Pack Quantities: Typically 2,000 – 2,500 nails per box (depending on length).
Technical Notes
- Best For: Interior, exterior, and treated timber projects. The galvanised coating significantly extends service life compared to bright nails.
- Holding Power: Suitable for structural applications; always follow local building regulations for nail spacing and quantities.
- Storage: Keep in a dry place. The galvanised coating provides good protection but avoid prolonged exposure to standing water.
- Safety: Use with appropriate PPE and set correct nailer pressure to prevent over-driving.
This Barbarossa Galvanised 1st Fix range offers professional-grade strength and durability for demanding framing projects where corrosion resistance is essential.
