Landscaping nails are very sharp and work great on nailing up bvr .

The best nail I ever used were horseshoe nails. They are tapered rectangle shape. They are very easy on boards, drive easy and can be pulled by hand. They are not cheap.

that's a good tip Beav.Ya I tried staples once and never again-and when we get beavers or any fur with staples in it-the blood always seems to flow-I hate those things

I pinned a few out with electrical staples this season and really liked it. Still drive them with a hammer but they allow you to raise the pelt off the board if you desire. Pull super easy. It takes half the time as driving nails

i have all basswood bvr boards so nailing bvr easy as pie....lol..!

Had the same problem and switched to a brad nailer. Much faster and better for my thumb.

Hate staples, fastest way to get your hand sliced up when you are grading.

2 inch box nails, have a narrow shank and regular head on them.

Almost impossible to hit your thumb or fingers if you are using box nails.

Near impossible to get all the staples out of a pelt and deadly on the folks that have to handle your fur.

I tried staples once and immediately hated it. Especially taking beaver off boards.

For all the staple haters...try these. Best of both worlds between nails and the little staples. Only have to drive one of these staples with a hammer for every 2 nails. Easy to pull, much faster than nails, and you won't miss any like you can with the little staples

I hate them things,,,,,they made them for right handers…….

Peavy Mart was closing down some stores here, (bankruptcy) and boxes 15 pounds were 5$ Can, 3 different lengths.....dang they are closed for good now
Why did you not say earlier and I could have got you 10 boxes

I have posted it a couple times over the years. I started using them in the early 1980's when I worked as a skinner.

We got everything from a guy that can probably push his nails in by hand using bass wood, to guys using air nailers.
Gotta love it!…lol

Guys! It's not only the nails. It's the hammer. Use a hammer with a serrated head and hitting your finger will be a thing of the past.

What is the best beaver boarding hammer

Well if they are still open today, I'll pick you up several boxes MJM. Of course there will be a double tariff duty, with this steel of a steal deal.

At that price I would take some. Up to five 15 pound boxes. I know a couple other guys that would take some.

Great, not only does it make the finger black/blue but tenderizes it also!

That's a framing hammer, no need for anything that big. We use to call them sex toys as if you hit your finger you where "screwed"!

Gibb what you think on these?
