Bosch NK-138 1-3/8 Inch Collated Wood to Concrete Knurled Steel Nails
The Bosch NK-138 1-3/8-Inch Collated Wood-to-Concrete Nails function as hardened structural track pins engineered to anchor wood sill plates, furring strips, and framing studs directly into cured concrete slabs and masonry walls. Featuring a knurled shank profile, a full round head design, a 1.375-inch overall length, and ICC-certified engineering compliance, these steel fasteners connect to the Bosch GNB18V-12 18V Cordless Concrete Nailer. Manufactured from hardened tool-grade steel to resist bending under impact, these collated strip nails feed through standard 22-shot and 44-shot magazines to accelerate commercial framing and drywall track installations.
Best Used For:
- Wood Sill Plate & Stud Attachment: Anchoring 2x4 wood bottom plates, furring strips, and timber studs onto poured concrete floor slabs and basement foundations.
- Drywall Track & Partition Framing: Securing metal track and wooden backing plates to concrete ceilings, masonry walls, and structural columns.
- Commercial Interior Construction: Executing high-volume track pin installations across basement finishing and commercial partition wall layouts.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Advanced Knurled Shank Geometry: Grooved steel shank design maximizes friction resistance to create a mechanical lock in cured concrete.
- Official ICC Tested & Certified: Lab-tested alongside the Bosch GNB18V-12 nailer to satisfy International Code Council building compliance specifications.
- Hardened Structural Steel Composition: High-tensile steel matrix resists bending, shearing, or shattering under battery-powered direct impact.
- Dedicated GNB18V-12 System Fitment: Collated strip feeds smoothly into standard and high-capacity magazines without jams or misfires.
- Full Round Head Coverage: Full-head profile distributes driving force evenly across timber surfaces to prevent over-driving or wood splitting.
- Clean-Break Collation Strip: Plastic collation strip maintains pin alignment during transit and detaches cleanly inside the tool firing channel.

Pro-Tip: When driving NK-138 pins through 2x4 wood plates into cured concrete using the GNB18V-12 nailer, press the tool nose contact element firmly perpendicular against the wood surface. Holding a straight 90-degree angle ensures the knurled shank penetrates cleanly to maximize tension holding power in high-PSI concrete.
