Framing Nails Angled 34 Degree

34° angled framing nails are collated for full reach and manoeuvrability in tight first fix situations. Ideal for framing, joist installs, and deck builds, these nails work with clipped-head nailers where access and angle matter more than magazine capacity.

What Are 34° Framing Nails Used For?

These nails are fired from angled framing nailers and let you reach into corners, edges and overhead fix points with a clean line of fire. The high angle makes them especially useful for tight framing spaces and complex deck or stud work.

• Wall Stud and Plate Fixing – Fire into top and bottom plates without shifting position or tool angle.
• Joist and Rafter Framing – Reach end grain, brackets or tight joist hangers with flush contact.
• Deck Subframes and Fascia – Nail at 34° into corners, rim boards and crossframes without obstruction.
• Trimmer and Lintel Work – Fix compound joins, double studs or jack studs with clean angled access.

Who Uses 34° Angled Framing Nails?

These nails are a favourite for first fix trades who need angle reach over max loadout — especially useful in domestic framing, loft conversions, stud builds and deck work.

• First Fix Carpenters – Use angled brads for framing walls, stair supports, and boxing work in tight builds.
• Decking Installers – Reach subframe joins, end runs and border trims without corner gaps.
• Structural Joiners – Fix trimmers, lintels and support boards where a straight nailer won’t reach.
• General Builders – Work between joists, rafters and angled fit points fast with clean drive depth.

What Jobs Are 34° Framing Nails Best At?

These are your go-to for first fix jobs in restricted spaces — where hand space or sight lines are tight, but strength and hold can’t be compromised.

• Overhead Framing – Fire flush into soffits, beams or ceiling joists without straining wrist angle.
• Fitting Lintels to Stud Walls – Angle down and flush into supporting boards while keeping fix hidden.
• Building Deck Frames – Reach inside rim joists, side rails and corner braces with flush placement.
• Securing Rafter Trims – Fire into bracketed roof areas or tie blocks between rafters easily.
• Boxing Pipework and Openings – Nail frames or returns in place around risers and reveals quickly.

How to Choose the Best 34° Framing Nails

Nail performance depends on length, shank type and collation angle. Here’s what to check before loading up onsite.

1. Nail Length

Common sizes are 50–90mm. Go longer for joist work and load-bearing installs; shorter for noggins and trims.

2. Head Style

Clipped head nails let you load more per strip, and fire in tighter spacing — perfect for angled nailing tools.

3. Shank Profile

Use smooth for fast drive, ring for high grip, and screw shank if high load or vibration is expected post-install.

4. Coating & Material

Galv for general site work. Stainless for exposed frames or decking. Bright for dry framing only.

5. Nailer Compatibility

34° nails suit clipped-head nailers only — confirm your tool accepts angled collation before loading.
