Shop Fasteners by Type

Framing and Collated Nails

Find collated nails for framing, sheathing, fencing, decking, remodeling, and general construction.

Slim’s inventory includes smooth- and ring-shank nails, galvanized options, 21-degree and 30-degree collations, and multiple lengths and diameters.

Before purchasing, confirm the nailer manufacturer, model number, accepted collation angle, nail length, shank diameter, head style, and approved coating.

Finish Nails and Brads

Shop finish nails and brads for trim, molding, cabinetry, furniture, finish carpentry, woodworking, and installation.

The inventory includes:

  • 15-gauge angled finish nails
  • 16-gauge finish nails and brads
  • 18-gauge brads
  • Stainless-steel brads
  • Multiple lengths and package quantities
Fasteners that look similar may not fit the same tool. Match the gauge, angle, length, and collation to the nailer manufacturer’s specifications.
Roofing, Siding and Fencing Fasteners

Slim’s carries fasteners and tools for roofing, siding, fencing, and other exterior applications.

Inventory lines include roofing nails, coil-nailer products, siding nailers, and heavy-gauge fencing staples.

When selecting an exterior fastener, consider:

  • Material being fastened
  • Fastener coating or material
  • Exposure to rain, salt air, and humidity
  • Nailer compatibility
  • Required length and holding power
  • Project and manufacturer specifications

Hawaiʻi’s coastal conditions make material and coating selection especially important.

Joist-Hanger and Metal-Connector Nails

Find joist-hanger and metal-connector nails for approved structural connectors and construction applications.

Slim’s inventory includes joist-hanger nailers, metal-connector nailers, and compatible hot-dipped galvanized nails in multiple lengths.

Use only fasteners approved by the connector and nailer manufacturers. Standard framing nails should not automatically be substituted for connector fasteners.

Duplex Nails

Duplex nails are commonly used for temporary construction applications such as formwork, bracing, and projects where later removal is expected.

Slim’s inventory includes collated duplex nails and cordless duplex nailers in multiple systems.

Confirm the nail dimensions, collation angle, tool compatibility, material, and intended use before purchasing.

Staples

Find staples for construction, fencing, cable installation, upholstery, finish work, general assembly, and specialty fastening.

The inventory includes:

  • Narrow-crown staples
  • Stainless-steel staples
  • Fencing staples
  • Insulated cable staples
  • Upholstery staples
  • Staples for pneumatic and cordless tools

Match the crown width, gauge, leg length, and collation format to the stapler and application.

Concrete Fasteners and Anchors

Slim’s carries several concrete and masonry fastening systems for attaching approved fixtures, framing, equipment, brackets, and other components.

Inventory lines include:

  • Drop-in anchors
  • Mini drop-in anchors
  • TAPPER concrete screws
  • Power-Stud wedge anchors
  • Concrete pins
  • Setting tools
  • Concrete-fastener installation kits

The correct system depends on the base material, fixture thickness, required embedment, load requirements, edge distance, spacing, exposure conditions, and installation method.

Provide the project specifications and base-material information when checking available options.

Powder-Actuated Fasteners and Supplies

Slim’s inventory includes concrete pins, powder loads, and related products used with approved powder-actuated fastening systems.

These products require the correct tool, fastener, load level, base material, training, and jobsite procedures.

Follow all tool-manufacturer instructions and applicable workplace requirements. Do not use powder-actuated equipment without the required training and authorization.

Fastening Tools and Air Systems

Pneumatic and Cordless Nailers

Slim’s carries professional fastening tools for framing, roofing, siding, finish work, metal connectors, brads, concrete fastening, duplex nails, fencing, and specialty applications.

The inventory includes pneumatic and cordless nailers from brands such as Bostitch, DEWALT, Metabo HPT, Milwaukee, and Makita.

When comparing tools, consider the accepted fastener, collation angle, magazine capacity, tool weight, depth adjustment, power source, and expected workload.

Staplers

Find pneumatic, cordless, hammer, and upholstery staplers for construction, cable installation, fencing, cabinetry, finish work, upholstery, and general assembly.

Provide the required crown width, gauge, leg length, material, and application when checking available tools and staples.

Inventory includes compressors from Rolair, DEWALT, Makita, Milwaukee, Metabo HPT, and other manufacturers, along with hoses, plugs, couplers, manifolds, blow guns, and air-tool oil.

Before selecting a compressor, compare its pressure and air-delivery specifications with the requirements of every tool that will be connected.

How to Choose the Right Fastener

The correct fastener should match the tool, materials, environment, and performance requirements.
Consideration What to Confirm
Materials Identify the base material and the item being attached
Fastening tool Provide the manufacturer, model number, and approved fastener range
Dimensions Confirm length, diameter, gauge, crown width, angle, head style, and shank
Application Framing, roofing, finish work, fencing, concrete, connectors, or another task
Environment Consider moisture, weather, salt air, chemicals, and corrosion exposure
Holding requirements Review the expected load and purpose of the installation
Installation method Pneumatic, cordless, powder-actuated, mechanically driven, or another system
Project requirements Follow plans, manufacturer instructions, codes, and approved specifications
Do not substitute fasteners based only on appearance. Small differences in gauge, angle, length, coating, collation, or head style can affect compatibility and performance.

Match the Fastener to the Tool

Before contacting Slim’s, gather the following information:
  • Tool manufacturer and model number
  • Nail or staple type
  • Collation angle or format
  • Gauge or diameter
  • Crown width, when applicable
  • Minimum and maximum accepted length
  • Material and coating requirements
  • Current fastener packaging or item number

A clear photo of the tool label, owner’s manual, or existing fastener box can help the team check compatible products.

The tool manufacturer’s specifications should determine final compatibility.
