Pfffsssttt! We demand double-blind studies.
Laid side by side the Simpson's appear to have a thicker coating and are a tad longer.
Are those the old "special nails"? I do recall (when we were using them on our deck) that the Simpson's were more uniform (fewer lumps) than some of the other brands we bought.
The GripRites are a smoother surface than the Simpson.
Most anything is better than grip rites... just sayin'http://www.tvwsolar.com
We'll have a kid
Or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight
We don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup
Someday he may be president
If things loosen up
GripRite decking screws are ok.
Fuggers break my tips before they snap heads or cam out tho'.

Not the screws, the tips.
Ya, I agree. I think I bought my last Bosch tips.
That little 12volt NiCad Impact is a real winner tho'.
use Vermont American...
the Bosch tips are too hard making them brittle...

I won't buy Bosch tips any more, way too brittle for anything other than screwing into a marshmallow. I have had real good luck with Kobalts, and their price is right.http://www.tvwsolar.com

My Duofast Framing nails seem to be a better nail than a friends Bostich. In a side by side test with a needle nose pilers I can rip the head off the bostich every time and barely nick the Duofast.
