Chief,

Apparently 16 pennies doesn't go as far in China as it does in the USA either. I bought a box of 16 penny, hot-dipped galvanized nails at my local hardware store last week that were made in China. Not only are they too small in diameter to be 16 penny nails, they are also soft. I am doing some repair work on an old barn and very often when I drive a nail into this old wood the nail simply buckles over in the middle.

To add to the puzzlement, neither the local lumber yard nor the Farmer's Co-Op carry galvanized nails any more. I have to go to a larger town this afternoon for a meeting, so I'll probably stop at Home Depot and see what their nails look like.
