Southern Carlson electro-galvanized 16-gauge straight-collated finish nails for interior trim and protected exterior work. The thin zinc electroplate adds moderate corrosion resistance for covered porch trim, soffit returns, and casing in covered exterior locations - step up to hot-dipped or stainless for fully exposed exterior. The chisel point reduces splitting in trim stock and the slight head countersinks cleanly for fill and paint.

• Gauge: 16 (approximately 0.0625" / 1.6 mm shank)
• Length: 2"
• Collation: Straight strip, glue collated - fits the magazine of most 16-gauge straight finish nailers (Bostitch, Porter-Cable, Hitachi/Metabo HPT, Senco, DeWalt, Duo-Fast, Hilti, and similar)
• Point: Chisel point reduces wood splitting in oak, maple, and other dense trim stock
• Head: Slight T-head countersinks cleanly into softwood and hardwood for fill-and-paint or stain-grade finishing
• Finish: Electro-galvanized (thin zinc electroplate) for interior plus protected exterior service; step up to hot-dipped galvanized or stainless for fully exposed exterior trim
• Pack: 4000 nails per box
• Applications: Interior trim, baseboard, crown molding, door and window casing, chair rail, panel molding, cabinet face frames, and built-up trim assemblies

Tip: This length suits baseboards, mitered corners, thicker door stops, and back-band trim through 1/2" drywall into stud - electro-galvanized finish makes this length the right call for protected exterior trim like soffit returns and covered porch casing. Set the nailer depth to leave the head just below the surface for cleaner fill, and run a test fire into scrap before starting on finished trim.
