Emmett Doherty has spent 43 years in the fastener industry. When it came time to put Shark Bite to the test, he ran it himself.
Here is what he was looking for: a subfloor and wall sheathing nail that keeps holding as it comes out, runs in the framing gun a builder already owns, and helps cut down on squeaky floor callbacks. In our plywood test, the nails held between 550 and 770 lbs.
Watch the whole test through the link in our bio, then tell us what you think. Stocked in Houston, College Station, Corpus Christi and McAllen.
