DECK DECO 2-1/2" Powder Actuated Fasteners .300 Head .145" Shank with 1" Washers for Powder Fastening & Power Framing systems, 100 Pack

Edit/update:The seller of this product reached out to me, after reading my initial 3-star review. And after some back and forth between us (respectfully on both sides), we realized that the image on the listing page that I had selected, showed as the version that I wanted (which included the 1" washers) and at the same time, was actually describing in the details, the version without washers. Thus, the confusion. Yet at the same time, on the order-side (from the seller's vantage point), they saw (and received) a request for the skew that was for the un-washered version. Anyhow, long story short, the seller was gracious enough to send me out the washered version (which I initially wanted, and still required more of anyways, for the continued build out of my basement framing project), which was very kind of them. In my opinion, it's sellers like this that make any product, worth it, as they are not only willing to stand behind their product but work with a customer who was grieved by this mix up. In summary, like I said in my initial review (aside from this order problem/mix up) that their product is actually quite impressive and served me well, despite my having to purchase separately and then manually add washers to each nail before using them, from the initial order. With this new set, I will not (obviously) have to do that, so that's a huge plus. Thank you for reaching out to me and for being willing to do this for me. Best wishes to your company. Keep on making great products and providing great customer service and I have no doubt that you'll be blessed for it.Initial Review:Upon receiving this product in the mail and noticing that I had received the wrong product, I had given it a 3-star review, which was as follows:I know that it's weird to deduct two stars for a product like this, as it's a pretty basic item to produce. And indeed, these are actually better-made power fasteners than the ones that I pay twice as much for, from my local big box store. The deduction in stars then, is purely based upon the fact that the seller failed to send me the correct fasteners, as indicated in my cart, which were the same length but with the included 1" washers. So consequently, I had to continue on with my framing installation to concrete in the remodel of my downstairs spaces, by purchasing galvanized 1" washers from my local big-box store, and then manually align then to the tip of each power nail, before shooting them in place. Very frustrating. And oddly (as I'm an Amazon Viner), the item that I ordered in my "Order's" area within Amazon, shows the correct item that I ordered, yet in Vine, it shows the "non-washered" version. Not sure how that happened but anyhow, this is my only complaint and even if the seller rectified the problem, the job is now complete, so the most that I'd consider doing is pumping up to a 4-star (rather than a 3-star) review, as at least, it demonstrates good seller communication and intention to rectify the situation. We'll see. Until then, if you do not require washers, then the product that I received, is a great product, as designed. Conflicted recommendation, for now.

I just used up the last of my powder actuated nails nailing a couple 2x4s to my foundation wall to hold an electrical subpanel, so I ordered these. My bad, I could have sworn I ordered the version with the washer, but somehow I got the nails without the washers. I don't know if I botched it or something happened in order fulfillment but c'est la vie. I've never used the ones without the washers, and personally I would want the ones with washers for the extra holding power so I don't know if these will blow right through the 2x4, but I hope these will ultimately work. Maybe I'll just have to get some washers to use with these.In any case, these look pretty much identical to the brand name ones you can buy at the big orange box; the only difference that I can see is that these are about a third less cost, so I'm not complaining!

Rebuilding a shed after a tornado we had no problem with these fasteners.
