Every spring I have to pound in the long nails that hold the gutters

nails with lag bolts.

Home depot and other places sell screws made expressly for this
purpose. I've used them, and they are great.

i'd be sure to get screws that fit thru the aluminum sleeves
or else you end up squeezing the gutters together. still holds
but looks crappy.
