2014年10月4日 · Indeed you have shown ONE type of cat's paw. I have a couple of those. But I ALSO have the double end type with one claw at a right angle and the other just offset like the right end of the one in the pix. And the offset end is what would be easiest for getting nails in joist hangers esp if joists were already installed. Anyway, done with this ...

2016年10月30日 · The 10 D nails would be for the double sheer holes that go in at a 45 degree angle. 1.5" joist hanger nails are the ones that go straight into the ledger board or rim joist or whatever.
