Framing Nails Angled 34 Degree Roundrive
34° Roundrive nails are angled, collated round head nails built for high-strength structural fixings. They combine the tight access of clipped head strips with the full head strength of round nails — perfect for framing, joists, rafters and deck builds where code compliance and grip are key.
What Are Roundrive Nails Used For?
These nails deliver superior hold in timber framing and structural applications. The 34° angled collation fits nailers built for tight spaces, while the round head provides max pull resistance.
- Timber Framing – Secure studs, trimmers, rails and corner joints quickly with deep round-head hold.
- Roof Construction – Nail rafters, noggins and struts where angled placement and structural hold are critical.
- Deck Subframes – Build durable deck platforms or raised patios with strong joist-to-frame joinery.
- Joist Hanger and Connector Fixing – Fire into hardware plates, brackets and engineered timber setups without rebound.
Who Uses 34° Roundrive Nails?
Used across structural framing and exterior work, these nails are a favourite among pro builders who need angled access but can’t compromise on strength.
- Framers – First fix teams who need high-speed, high-hold results on timber frames and load walls.
- Deck Installers – Use Roundrive to secure bearers, rails and outer framing into joists and risers.
- Roofers & Joiners – Fix soffits, gable timbers and valley boards where access is tight and grip is essential.
- Structural Builders – Trusted on sites where timber-to-timber joins carry long-term load or require code-compliant fasteners.
What Jobs Are Roundrive Framing Nails Best At?
They excel in any heavy fix where tool angle and nail strength both matter. From stud walls to deck beams — they hold tight, fire flush and stay true.
- Securing Stud-to-Plate Joins – Nail between top or bottom plate and verticals with reliable side-on access.
- Fitting Structural Headers – Fire into multi-layer joists or trimmers with round-head assurance.
- Nailing Angled Rafters – Hit collar ties, fascia ends or angled beam joints with flush results and no bounceback.
- Building Exterior Deck Frames – Use for rim boards, bridging timbers and cross-bearers under load.
- Framing Around Openings – Box out windows, doors or voids with structural hold even in narrow returns.
How to Choose the Best Roundrive Framing Nails
Match these nails to your jobsite, timber and nailer — here’s what to check first.
1. Nail Length
Range runs 50–90mm. Use shorter for noggins or subframes, longer for plates, joists and multi-stack framing.
2. Shank Type
Choose ring shank for extra grip, especially on site-cut or green timbers. Smooth shank is quicker for repeat firing.
3. Head Format
Roundrive nails offer a full round head in a clipped format — the best of both worlds for hold and mag loadout.
4. Nail Finish
Galv or stainless steel are best for exposed work. Bright finish only if fully covered or internal fix only.
5. Nailer Fit
Use only in 34° Roundrive-compatible angled nailers — check manufacturer tool spec before loading.

FAQs
What’s the difference between Roundrive and clipped head nails?
Roundrive nails give full-head holding strength but in a slightly offset position to load more per strip. Clipped heads allow closer nailing, but less surface hold.
Do Roundrive nails meet structural codes?
Yes — most sites accept Roundrive format for structural use. Always check local regs where round heads are required.
Can I use Roundrive nails in any 34° nailer?
No — only use in tools designed for Roundrive format. Some 34° nailers only accept clipped or offset heads.
Will these nails work in angled deck brackets?
Yes — their angled drive lets you fire into metal hardware or tight timber gaps where straight collated nails won’t fit cleanly.
What finish should I use for outdoor work?
Always choose galvanised or stainless nails for exposed deck or roof work. Bright finish is for dry internal builds only.
