Does anyone have nail/short bending experience? I just tried my first 40 and 60 penny nails and all 4 broke. You can see they were bend pretty sharp so I think it's just a hard brittle metal.
My main question is whether it is a bad idea to go ahead and work through the box before getting other nails. I'm working from a Bud Jeffries Instructional DVD and in it he warns against using hard springy steel, due to it's potential for injury. This is not springy at all its just that on the brake all resistance suddenly goes to zero.
Thanks!
