Counted my finish nailer strips after 400 fence pickets and the number did not match the box
The label on the 2 inch strips from Lowe's says 100 per box and I opened 5 boxes to do the job, so something is off by around 30 nails. Anyone else keep a tally on how many fasteners a fence really eats?

Same thing happened to me with the 2 inch strips for my 6 foot privacy fence. I counted 12 boxes thinking that would cover around 1100 nails and I came up short by almost 40. I even dumped out the last box on my workbench and lined them up in rows of ten to be sure. The strips were mostly full but a couple had gaps where nails were missing, like the factory skipped a few spots. Lowes swapped the boxes but it still cost me a trip and half a day of work.
