- Door jambs
- Thick casing
- Hardwood trim
The heavy-duty finish nail: a 15-gauge angled fastener for hanging door jambs, thick casing and hardwood trim where maximum holding power and corner access matter more than a tiny hole.
Pros
- 15-gauge is the thickest finish nail and gives the highest holding power for door jambs and dense hardwood trim
- Angled magazine reaches into tight inside corners and stair skirt returns a straight 16ga gun can't
- Electro-galvanized coating adds light corrosion resistance for covered exterior trim and jamb work
Cons
- Thickest shank means the biggest hole of the finish nails, so it needs the most filler on visible faces
- Sold in 1,000-count boxes, so cost per nail runs higher than a 2,500ct 16ga box
- Requires a 15-gauge angled finish nailer, it will not load into 16ga or 18ga guns
