Vinyl coated sinker nails combine a heat-set vinyl coating with a checkered, slightly tapered sinker head to drive smoothly into framing lumber and set flush or just below the surface. The vinyl lubricates the shank during driving and bonds when the friction heats it, locking the nail in place for added holding power.

• Vinyl coating reduces driving friction and bonds for improved hold
• Checkered sinker head resists glancing hammer blows and sets cleanly
• Stiff carbon steel shank drives straight without bending
• Common applications: wall framing, sheathing, subfloor, decking
• Penny size: 6d
• Sold by the 5 Lb Box

Tip: Sinker nails are sized in pennies (d). Most wall framing and sheathing schedules call for 8d through 16d.
