Reply to "Suggestions on Concrete Nails"

This thread may be old... but WOW - it has been helpful! My standard nail has been the big PK masonry 2 1/2" x 1/4" inch. I noticed that sometimes the pavement was so hard that my nails bent and broke and or went flying... It became a real problem at times.

I had not considered the obvious: The road material's density increases with falling temperatures such that at 32 deg F or below the big nail has real problems.

I just bought the nails Duane cited above, ChrisNik Mag Nail 1" x 5/32", and WOW! They sail right into the pavement on the formerly toughest of roads. These are now my "cold weather" nails.

Thanks to everyone for sharing these invaluable tips.
