steve0 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I purchased some 60d nails from a local hardware store that I can barely budge. I have only been consistently bending for about a month but following the progression on the DC Bending Book, either these nails are tough as hell, or my other stock is sub par. I purchased some 7" and 6" 1/4" HRS from a local distributor that I usually work with ( I believe that this is comparable to IM Yellow and Blue). I have done three 6" Grade 5 bolts with alot of effort. These nails are just harder. I guess my question after all of this rambling is are some nails just harder then others?

Jedd Johnson Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yes. You have found some serious 60D nails. Occasionally they are tougher than others, but I don't think I've ever had one harder than a grade 5. You found some savage 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpmmkrahling Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I know Aaron & Eric have calibrated 6" G5's at 375 lbs and i have claibrated Sivaco 60d's between 265 - 405. So yes they realy do vary ALOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yea, I've had some that were harder than some easier G5s. The 60Ds vary like crazy. Even in the same batch, they can vary by 50 - 100 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I think my Tree Island brand ones are tougher than gr 5's as well but they haven't been calibrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
