    Am I ok to use ringshanks for 12mm ply? Normally use them for 6mm but have got a floor that needs raising to match adjacent room and was thinking of using 25mm ringshanks if this will work? I use a cn45 spotnailer. cheers

    You will only have 13mm of nail into the subfloor, check depth of subfloor if 22mm then use 30mm fixings...... Personally I screw my ply down

    Done 12mm ply a few times with 25 ring shanks. Not had a problem
    Fired them in a few mm into ply so going more into the floorboards deeper.
    Feathered the whole floor.

    Screwing takes ages but in this case would be a no brainer for me

    27mm on 12mm for me. Coil nailer works fine. Get at least the correct number of of fixings far quicker than screwing
