Since I just bought a Paslode IM90ci that can shoot nailscrew, I'm considering using them instead of regular nails. However, they are much more expensive.
Nails tend to "creep out" over time. Does nailscrew prevent that? What are your experiences?
I'm planning to build a shed with loose timber and I'm wondering if nailscrews are worth the extra money compared to collated nails?

Anyone who has used nailscrew and can provide some inputs?
I haven't used them and I haven't seen them with anyone else either. After a quick Google search, the advantage seems clear, that you can screw them out and in again.T Ejmelie said:
If you choose the right type and dimension of nail, nails do NOT creep out, not with wire nails and not with framing nails.

I have not experienced nails that are shot having the same tendency to crawl out. They are usually dipped in hot glue that is activated by the friction when they are shot in. Just make sure that they are ringed and not smooth nails.
For the frame, however, it is usually easier to screw, especially if you are building alone.

As already stated, the nail doesn't back out.
I have built a 78m2 large garage, a small pool house, and fastened some panels, and if there is something for the nail to grip onto, it holds.
I have used Essves nails for 99%.
Isn't the nailscrew intended for decking and similar?

Ok! Then it feels unnecessary to buy nailscrew when it works just as well with maskinspik
