Paslode 650287 16 ga 2-1/2 in Collated Finishing Nail

Paslode 16 Gauge Collated Finishing Nails

The Paslode 650287 pack contains 2,000 straight finish nails sized at 2-1/2 inches long with a 16 gauge thickness. They feature a galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and a chisel point for clean penetration. Each strip holds 50 nails held together by glue collation at a zero-degree angle. They are designed for use with compatible pneumatic nailers such as models 501680 and 515500.

Replacing Loose or Non-Galvanized Brads

These collated strips replace loose brad nails or fasteners lacking a galvanized finish when corrosion resistance is required. The jump is worth it for high-volume trim work where the 2,000-count pack reduces reload frequency compared to smaller boxes. The glue collation and smooth shank suit standard finish carpentry where a brad head is preferred. They are not suited for applications requiring ring-shank holding power or angled collation magazines.

Verify Nailer Compatibility and Length

Confirm that your pneumatic nailer accepts 16 gauge straight strips with a 2-1/2 inch nail length and zero-degree glue collation. Check the tool's manual for compatibility with Paslode part numbers 501680 or 515500 to ensure proper feeding. Ensure the work material suits a chisel point and smooth shank profile. Buyers needing a different gauge, length, or collation angle should select an alternative product.
