Nail strip Bostitch PT2870 smooth paper‑collated PT 33 2.80mm x 70mm 2200 pcs

Bostitch PT2870 nail strips are paper‑collated smooth nails designed for use in PT 33 compatible gas or pneumatic nailers. Each nail has a 2.80 mm shank diameter and a 70 mm length, supplied in continuous strips with a total of 2200 pieces per pack. These nails are engineered for structural joining tasks such as timber framing, sheathing and general carpentry where a reliable smooth shank fastener is required.

Advantages

Paper collation ensures consistent feeding and clean revolution of the strip within PT 33-style magazines, while the smooth shank provides strong withdrawal resistance in dense and soft woods without splintering common with ring or threaded variants. The 2.80 mm diameter and 70 mm length balance shear strength and penetration depth for typical framing applications. Compatibility with gas and pneumatic nailers reduces setup complexity on job sites and supports efficient, continuous nailing.

How to use

Load the paper‑collated strip into a PT 33 compatible gas or pneumatic nailer following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the nailer is correctly adjusted for nail length and workpiece thickness, and follow safety procedures including using eye protection and keeping hands clear of the muzzle. Position the workpieces and maintain consistent contact pressure while driving nails to achieve secure fastening. Replace strips as needed and dispose of paper collation waste according to local regulations.

Recommendations

Use these smooth shank nail strips for standard framing and sheathing where full‑depth penetration and shear strength are required. For applications needing higher withdrawal resistance, consider threaded or ring shank alternatives. Store packs in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and maintain reliable feeding in pneumatic or gas nailers.
