Nails for nail guns have that feature. I don't know of loose nails
having that feature. You would be laboring to drive them, as they
would be setting each time you hammered.

I know they made them a few years back, I've still got some 3" left
over from a porch project.

And the adhesive doesn't set till the nail cools down. I guess if
you waited 10 seconds or more between hammer hits you might have a
problem, but not under normal use.


You have 3" finish nails?

I do. When you live in a log home, you tend to have things that normal
people just don't encounter.



I actually have seen them and long ago had some but have not seen any in
a while. Maybe I should say I have not seen any because I have had
absolutely no need for finish nails that long. And I am not so sure
they were actually finish nails as they were much larger in diameter but
with a finish nail head. I don't consider a finish nail that leaves a
5/32" hole to be a finish nail so to speak.
