What happens here

This section introduces 21-degree nails, which are designed to fit '21-degree nailers,' like the Milwaukee Fuel nail gun shown. A disadvantage mentioned is that 'less fits on a strip' compared to paper collated nails, and they tend to 'shoot plastic everywhere' during operation, requiring cleanup. Crucially, these nails are 'galvanized,' making them highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for 'outside' use, unlike many other nail types.

Goal: Learn about 21-degree nails and their characteristics.
