Why Choose These Bostitch Nails
The full round head gives more holding surface than a clipped head, which many builders and inspectors prefer. The coating helps the nail drive with less effort, and the diamond point starts clean in lumber. At 2-3/8 inches, these Bostitch nails are a good fit when a full 3 inch framing nail is more than you need.
Compatible Tools
These nails are made for Bostitch 28 degree wire weld framing nailers, including the Bostitch F28WW. Review your nailer's collation angle and nail range before you order.
Common Uses
- Wall and roof sheathing
- Subfloor and underlayment
- Blocking and bracing
- Light framing and general carpentry
Wire weld strips hold the nails together with thin wires that break apart as each nail fires. Store boxes in a dry place so the strips stay intact and the nails don't rust before use.
Choosing the Right Size
For heavy framing like studs and plates, most builders reach for a longer nail. For sheathing and blocking, this 2-3/8 inch size drives faster and is less likely to go through the back of thinner lumber. Always check your local building code for the nail size your job needs.

Bostitch Nails FAQ
Do S8D-FH nails fit the Bostitch F28WW?
Yes. The F28WW is a 28 degree wire weld framing nailer, which matches these nails.
What does FH mean?
FH stands for full head, meaning a full round head nail.
Can I use these nails in a 21 or 30 degree nailer?
No. Nail strips must match your nailer's collation angle and type. These are 28 degree wire weld nails, so use them in a 28 degree wire weld nailer only.
Why are my nails not sinking all the way?
Raise your air pressure a little at a time, and check your nailer's depth setting. Review your tool manual for its pressure range.
How many nails are in a box?
Each box holds 2,000 Bostitch nails. Add a second box to your order for larger jobs.
