Various Nail Sizes

[Mun]

So basically i just came back from home depot, i was looking for nails which were 3/16 and 6 inches long, the guy working there said he had no clue what I was talking about, I said do you guys carry 40penny nails? he said "whats that?" at this point im trying to figure out if its me who knows nothing or this guy, so I asked for a 60penny spiral, he said they have that, so I grabbed 10 of those, but these bad boys are way to thick for me to be starting off at, I need something thinner, anyone recommend something that home depot will carry?

Sounds like he was clueless. Maybe find a more helpful helper or a different store - those nails are pretty common. Worst case scenario - 6"x1/4" Grade 2 bolts are pretty easy but a little more expensive than nails.

You might want to try this out. It is cold rolled but it's not that hard and they have about any size you could possibly want in alot of different grades and materials. I've bought alot of stuff from these guys and service is really good.
