Value Collection 8CTDSKR1 8D Sinker Nails 12 Gauge 2.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8CTDSKR1 is an 8D sinker nail designed for general framing and construction fastening applications. At 2.5 inches overall length and 12 gauge diameter, this nail features a smooth shank profile and a cement-coated finish. The cement coating reduces driving resistance and helps the nail seat cleanly through dimensional lumber. Grade 2 steel construction provides consistent shank integrity under standard framing loads. This fastener is installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using conventional nail guns or hand-driven hammers on residential and light commercial framing work.

This sinker nail is suited for wood-to-wood framing tasks including wall plate attachment, joist installation, header assembly, and sheathing work. The 8D designation corresponds to standard framing nail sizing used across residential construction. The smooth shank and cement coating make it compatible with typical pneumatic framing nailers and hand-nailing workflows. It is packaged in a quantity of 5 nails per unit, making it appropriate for sample, replacement, or low-volume fastening needs.
