Anyone used B&C Eagle nails? Thinking of picking up some coil ring shanks online (2-3/8″x.099) for the Hitachi coil framer (as well as some framing nails).
Amazon has a deal until Jan 29: $10 off $75 order, $20 off $100 order, or $30 off $150 order. Plus no sales tax. Plus free shipping on over $25 orders.

How many in a box and what are you paying? Personally, I only buy Hitachi brand nails now. Thankfully, my nail guy stocks them. I've had jamming problems with off brands. Don't sweat it though... the jamming issues is with the stick nailers which are far more finicky than the coil nailers.
Anyway... I'm paying about $35/box for 8d coils. 5000/box
I've used B&C nails in Bostich coil both roofing and framing with no problems. I've also used Hitachi nails in them as well, no problem
