Senco is passionate about their nails.
They love to talk about nails and what buying the best nails means to builders in the field. They're so fired up that they've built an entire website to talk about the five reasons (loaded with test data to back those reasons up at www.Senco5Reasons.com) why Senco nails keep you moving in the field. These nails give your buildings staying power after you've left the site and a hurricane or other natural disaster comes to town. While building houses that will survive storms is of vital importance in the storm zone, keeping a crew flying across sheathing or roof-decking is key for every builder every day.
Senco fasteners coated with their proprietary Sencote coating connect so effectively with the material you're fastening, says Senco, that the wood they hold together will fail long before the nail will withdraw.
That's a big claim backed up by some big testing by the Senco team and third party labs according to the company. Senco fasteners with their signature coating proved to have up to 35 percent more holding power than other competitive fasteners.
But the Senco team doesn't stop there. They also spend time engineering their collation so you have fewer broken "sticks" when you reach into the box or into your tool pouch to load your nailer. And, they make nails for other manufacturer's tools, so no matter what brand of tools you have, you can depend on—and get—the nails you need. Senco also says that their nails run smoothly (again, even in other brands) delivering fewer jams and more fully-driven fasteners than other nail brands.
