Use the product in the production of high quality custom and production saddles. Nails really hold in areas where they are unlikely to ever be seen or removed and they don't rot or stain the leather which is full of tannic acid from tree root and bark used in the tanning process. Saddles are highly subject to moisture incursion similar to closed in spaces in a boat. We would like to keep them dry, but the cycle of dampening to some degree and drying is inevitable. Also, owners typically do not oil saddles just like they do not maintain the finish on boats until they need repair.

I have used these twice for building cedar fences. I prefer them to some smaller gauge nails I have also used. They hold tenaciously and don't rust and stain the wood. They are overkill for my application and expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

Easy to use for family boat building projects. The kids have fun driving the nails in and depending on the ages, a little safer than screws and drills.

Our shop is a production saddle shop with a diverse customer base. We appreciate the quality of the nails and the prompt delivery.

Jamestown is a great source for boat building hardware. Fair price, [...] good product.

I can always count on your company to find the things I cannot find in other places, thanks for being there.

Stainless ring shank nails are somewhat hard to find, but easy to order from Jamestown distributors and the quality and timeliness is great.
