• Pre-Drilling: For hardwoods and dense materials, pre-drill pilot holes to reduce the risk of nails bending.
  • Proper Tools: Use a quality hammer or nail gun suitable for stainless steel nails.
  • Straight Driving: Ensure nails are driven straight and not at an angle to minimize bending.
  • Appropriate Nail Size: Use the correct size and gauge of nails for the specific material and application.
