I’ve seen these nail boxes, which look galvanized, that roofers wear around their neck on a string. You dump the nails in, and they shaft of the nail drops down slot in the bottom of the box and hangs their because the head is larger than the slot. You can then take two fingers and slide a few nails out from the end and they are in your fingers aligned to be pounded into the shingles. What is the correct name of these boxes, and where can I get one without taking old flashing and making one myself. Thanks.
