Buying nails from hardware stores
Hi, need some advice
looking to source some nails for future use. I want to start out really light and easy as I am working out a wrist problem.
I am a bit confused what to ask for at the shop.
seeing as i want to start out light are 30D nails ideal? (i dont know whether that's really easy or difficult, just that it's a starting point in one of Brookfield's books)
So if you could help me, what should I ask for, are they just standard nails (seen some confusing categories like bright, galvanised and masonry on screwfix)?
Thanks
Best wishes
Daniel

Re: Buying nails from hardware stores
normal 6" nails would be fine.
I will have some of the old Challenge Bars for sale soon, as we found them all in the house move. If anyone is interested please tell me.

Most shops would have no idea what grade of steel their nails are so I do as David says 'can I have some 6-inch nails please' or 'do you have them?'. I take, I bend.
