When I looked at other walls that were secured to the concrete many had at least 1 or 2 lag bolts set when the concrete was fresh and several had other type of nail fasteners but these were all done when the concrete was just barely a month cured."
"Using red shots I was able to easily sink these through a 2 by 4, a 1/16 inch metal bottom trim, and directly in to the concrete floor."
"Not one failure in entire box ."
"2.5 inch worked better to hold down 2X mud sill to cement foundation."

Best Collated Screws
Washer-head provides a large amount of surface area on the head of the screw, helping to ensure the strongest possible hold. The washer head of this screw is our most popular head style as the wide bearing surface of the head will not overdrive in the bottom of the pocket. Great for softer materials like pine, plywood, particle board, MDF and melamine.

"Good quality screws and look good too."
"Excellent item just what was ordered."
"Definitely worth buying these on Amazon due to the price."

"Quality nails, I used it on 3/4 hickory flooring with an auto nailer ($120ish one)."
"I did have some partial installed nails due to loss of pressure though. Update : After finishing the job : Used 99.9% of nails without sticking the gun."
"My pneumatic nailer spits the last nail out when the nails are out, so I wasted about 15 nails having to use the smaller pieces."
"There was a lot of conversation out there that these nails come in as lose nails, etc; I got least 18000 of them to do a 4200 sq ft home in hardwood; my hardwood guy tried the staples and it was cracking the hardwood, they told me to get these nails, I did, and I got to say, they work great; its got the little bites that grab onto the subfloor and wont budge; I had a great experience with these nails."
"Box came undamaged but the strips were not together."
"The box arrived broken open inside a huge shipping box."
"Local home improvement stores have these selling for $5 more per box so with a major wood floor installation project approaching, we decided to load up on these before the price changes."
