2.5" Metal Connector Nailer

Here's the truth about pre installing hangers.......it's possible. If using sawn lumber, as we were here, just measure the joist for an average depth. These were all 9 3/16 +/- 1/16 because they are Doug Fir. If I Joists, then do the same thing.

If using pressure treated....all bets are off and we install after the fact.

This is the ‪@BECKAmerica‬ F70G and it shoots 1.5" and 2.5" nails. I reviewed it for @jlconline in 2020 (started using it in 2019) and it's still going strong check the ‪@strongtie‬ catalog to see if you can substitute the 2 1/2" nail in the hardware
