That’s just what construction workers use. It’s the absolute cheapest shit that meets the minimum legal standard.
I used metal straps with screws, waay better.
Do likewise gents.

you can hammer them in but you have to strike them perfectly, else the force isn't distributed evenly across the prongs and they'll bend. it's easier if you do very light taps, alternating corners, but that will obviously take ages.

>>2976377
What kind of hammer are you using? A flat-faced hammer helps.

I think he meant flat vs milled/waffled.

>>2976472

No, I mean some hammers have rounded faces to set a nail deeper but won't mar up your wood. Look at it from the side. Then have you have milled hammers which are better for nailing since they prevent the head from slipping off and bending the nail. Then there are smooth, flat-faced hammers.

tl;dr, get a milled or flat-faced roofing hammer.

Be better to use a flat piece of metal in top so the force is even. Or buy a stapler from a shop for £10
