So, you deserve a five star review, however I have some constructive criticism and would like to respond please. I think the product was what I needed as previous source ceased production of this particular clovis nail. I prefer purchasing from a U.S. company, especially one in my Northwest region. Thank you.
Now, before I purchase again, as I found another supplier in the SE, I AM asking you to improve the product in two areas.
First, is the finish, which flacked, right out of the box although it was wrapped in tissue, even just in handling, and in application where I used a small rubber mallet, low impact. I recommend both improved cleaning of the surface of any residual oils AND most important a primer coating. Brand X has not chipped or rusted and some I used on a project several years ago. Yours are now rusting immediately and require touch-up paint.
Second, the nail welded on the reverse. I suggest a slightly larger gauge and especially a ring-shank nail. I AM certain that as some of the wood shrinks, (although it is already aged), some of these will fall off.
I like your products. Pictures of your product, and project attached. I will need to purchase thirty or forty more.
Please respond, Thank you Jerome
