Spit Pulsa Pins
Pulsa 800 nails are the fixings you reach for when you're firing straight into concrete or steel and need a clean, repeatable hold that won't waste time.
If you're running a Spit gas nailer on first fix, track, clips or brackets, this is the compatibility page that saves guesswork. These spit pulsa pins are made for fast overhead and perimeter fixing, with the right collation for Pulsa tools and site work that keeps moving. If you need matching consumables beyond these Nails, Pins & Staples by Compatibility, this is where to start.
What Are Pulsa 800 Nails Used For?
- Fixing drywall track into concrete floors and walls is one of the main jobs for pulsa 800 nails, especially on commercial fit-out where speed matters more than drilling every point.
- Securing cable clips, conduit saddles and light brackets to hard substrates lets sparkies and M and E teams keep moving without swapping from nailer to drill and plug all day.
- Fastening timber battens, membranes or thin gauge metal against block and concrete works well where you need a tidy, repeatable fixing that does not loosen off with vibration.
- Working overhead on ceilings or awkward edges is exactly where spit pulsa nails earn their keep, because you can place fixings quickly without dragging leads or setting up extra kit.
- Sorting repetitive perimeter and service runs on refurbs or new build saves serious time when the substrate is sound and a gas nailer fixing is the right spec for the job.
Choosing the Right Pulsa 800 Nails
Match the pin to the base material and fixing depth first. Get that wrong and the neatest nailer in the world will still give you poor holds.
1. Concrete or Steel Base
If you are fixing into concrete, go by the substrate strength and required embedment, not just what is easiest to get hold of. If you are shooting into steel, make sure the pin spec is actually rated for steel thickness, otherwise you will get bent pins or weak fixings.
2. Pin Length
Shorter spit pulsa pins are fine for clips, light brackets and thinner materials. If you are fixing track, battens or anything with a stand-off, step up the length so you still get a proper bite into the substrate.
3. Tool Compatibility
Do not assume all pulsa nails fit all Pulsa nailers. Check the exact gun model and collation before ordering. That is the whole point of buying by compatibility, and it saves turning up with strips the tool will not feed.
4. Quantity for the Job
If it is a one room job, a smaller pack may do. If you are on a full floor plate or repetitive first fix, buy enough to match the run and keep spare gas on hand, because stopping for consumables is what kills the day.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Dryliners use pulsa 800e nails and spit pulsa 800 nails for fixing track to concrete and steel, especially when they are setting long runs and do not want the noise and delay of drilling every anchor point.
- Sparkies reach for pulsa nails when clipping conduit, trunking supports and cable management onto hard backgrounds, particularly in plant rooms, risers and car park jobs.
- M and E installers and ceiling fixers use spit pulsa fixings for repetitive bracket work where one handed firing makes life easier on steps, towers and overhead runs.
- General builders and fit-out teams keep these in the van for quick fixing into dense base material, and if you are also comparing full tools have a look at Concrete Nailers before you commit.
The Basics: Understanding Pulsa 800 Nails
These are collated pins for Spit Pulsa gas nailers. The important bit is not just the pin itself, but how it matches the gun, the gas and the substrate you are fixing into.
1. They Are Made for Hard Base Materials
Pulsa 800 nails are designed for direct fixing into concrete and steel. That means faster installs for track, clips and brackets, without drilling and plugging every fixing point.
2. The Nailer Drives the Pin Using Gas
The pin does not work on its own. In a Pulsa gas nailer, the gas charge provides the driving force to fire the fixing home. For matched consumables, check Nail Gun Gas & Accessories before you start the job.
3. Compatibility Matters More Than It Does with Timber Nails
With pulsa gas nailer nails, the wrong strip, length or type can stop the tool feeding properly or give poor penetration. Always match the exact Pulsa model and the material you are firing into.
Pulsa Accessories That Keep You Working
A few basic consumables and spares stop lost time when your fixing gun is the quickest tool on the job.
1. Gas Cartridges
A fresh strip of nails is useless if the gas is empty halfway through a ceiling run. Keep spare cartridges in the box so you are not walking back to the van or swapping to drilling because the nailer died.
2. Cleaning and Service Items
Gas nailers get dirty fast when you are firing all day into concrete. Basic cleaning consumables help stop feed issues and misfires, which is a lot cheaper than blaming good spit pulsa nails for a gun that needs attention.
3. Spare Battery or Charger
If your Pulsa tool uses battery ignition, keep a charged spare ready. There is nothing clever about standing on a tower with nails and gas loaded but no power to fire the tool.
Choose the Right Pulsa 800 Nails for the Job
Use the substrate and fixing type to narrow it down quickly.
| Your Job | Pulsa Nail Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Fixing drywall track to concrete | Standard Pulsa 800 nails | Reliable collation, fast repetitive fixing, suited to hard masonry backgrounds |
| Clipping conduit and cable runs | Shorter spit pulsa pins | Cleaner fixing for lighter brackets and clips without excess pin length |
| Firing into structural steel | Steel rated pulsa nails | Built for harder base material, better penetration and less chance of bent fixings |
| Timber battens or stand-off fixings | Longer pulsa 800e nails | Extra reach through the fixed material while still achieving useful embedment |
| Ordering for a specific gun model | Model matched spit pulsa 800 nails | Correct feed strip format and compatibility for trouble free loading |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying by length alone is a common mistake. You also need the right pin type for concrete or steel, otherwise the fixing can fail or the pin can deform on impact.
- Assuming all spit pulsa nails fit every Pulsa gun catches plenty of people out. Check the exact model compatibility first or you can end up with strips the tool will not feed.
- Using gas nailer fixings on poor or crumbling substrate wastes nails and time. If the base material is weak, sort the fixing method properly instead of forcing the wrong system.
- Running the gun dirty leads to jams and shallow drives. If the nailer has had a hard week on concrete, clean it before blaming the consumables.
- Forgetting gas and ignition power is basic but it still happens. Keep matching consumables with the nails or the whole fixing setup is dead weight on site.
Pulsa 800 Nails vs Collated Concrete Nails vs DeWalt DCN890 Nails
Pulsa 800 Nails
These are for Spit Pulsa gas nailers and are the right choice when you already run that platform on concrete and steel fixing jobs. They are all about fast direct fixing with matched gas powered tools.
Generic Collated Concrete Nails
This is the broader category, but it is not enough on its own when you need exact tool fit. Always buy by compatibility, not by looks, because direct fixing nails are far less forgiving than timber fixings.
DeWalt DCN890 Nails
If you are on the DeWalt concrete nailer platform, you need the correct collated nails for that tool instead. See DeWalt DCN890 Nails rather than trying to cross match with spit pulsa 800 nails.
Maintenance and Care
Keep Nails Dry and Clean
Store pulsa nails somewhere dry in the van or store room. Damp, dust and loose site debris can affect feed reliability and leave you chasing jams that are easy to avoid.
Check Strips Before Loading
Do not ram damaged strips into the magazine. If the collation is cracked or bent, bin that strip and load a clean one before it turns into a feed problem halfway through a run.
Clean the Nailer Regularly
Concrete dust and residue build up quickly in gas nailers. A quick clean at the end of the day keeps spit pulsa fixings feeding properly and helps maintain consistent drive depth.
Use Fresh Gas and Charged Power
Weak gas or a flat ignition battery can give shallow drives and misfires. Before blaming the nails, check the rest of the system is ready for a full day on site.

Pulsa 800 Nails FAQs
Which Spit Pulsa nail guns use Pulsa 800 nails?
Pulsa 800 nails are for compatible Spit Pulsa direct fixing nailers that are designed around that strip format. The safe answer is always check your exact tool model against the product listing before ordering, because Pulsa consumables are model specific and not something you want to guess at.
What are Pulsa nails used for?
They are used for direct fixing into hard materials like concrete and steel. On site that usually means drywall track, conduit clips, cable management, light brackets and other repetitive first fix jobs where drilling and plugging every point would slow the whole day down.
Can Pulsa nails fix into steel and concrete?
Yes, that is exactly what they are made for, provided you choose the correct pin for the substrate and your tool. They work well on sound concrete and suitable steel sections, but you still need to match the fixing spec to the base material rather than assuming one pin suits every job.
Do Pulsa nails need gas cartridges?
Yes, in a Spit Pulsa gas nailer the nails are only one part of the system. The tool uses a gas cartridge to drive the pin, so if you have no gas you have no fixing power, no matter how many strips of nails are in the box.
Are Spit Pulsa nails compatible with other nailers?
No, not as a rule. Spit Pulsa nails are designed for specific Pulsa tools, and trying to use them in other nailers is asking for feed issues, misfires or damaged kit. Buy by exact compatibility, not by eye.
Are these the same as standard timber nailer nails?
No. Pulsa gas nailer nails are direct fixing pins for concrete and steel, not first fix or second fix timber nails. They are harder, differently collated and made for a completely different type of tool and job.
How do I know if I need Pulsa 800e nails or another type?
Start with the gun model, then check the base material and the fixing you are attaching. If the tool calls for pulsa 800e nails, stick with that compatibility. Do not try to swap types just because the pin length looks close enough.
Can I buy everything for the nailer in one place?
Yes. If you are topping up more than just pins, it is worth checking Nail Gun Nails & Accessories so you can sort the fixings and other consumables in one order.
