The nails and carrier are of expected good quality. I do have a problem where consistently the last 3 nails in the carrier cause a nail gun jam. I am not sure if it is the fault of the nail gun or the nails. I am a new user of a framing nailer and have been through a box of these nails and every last strip fired great except for the last 3 nails on each strip. Being a new user this is my first framing nailer and first time using these nails. Love 'em until the last three :) but no idea if my issue is nail supply or nail gun related. I suppose I will try different nails next time to see if the same thing occurs and if so, then the nail gun is the issue.
