Multifix Consumables Review: From Framing Nails to Mitre Glue

In this Multifix consumables review, I put a range of Multifix gear to the test — from 75mm clipped‑head framing nails and Paslode‑compatible gas to wood screws, mitre adhesive, and more. Whether you’re a carpenter, DIYer, or apprentice wondering if Multifix kit deserves a place in your toolbox, this guide breaks down everything you need to know.

Multifix were offering a free sample pack of these products, and honestly, how could I pass that up?

75mm Clipped Head Framing Nails

These are nails. They nail. Job done.

But genuinely — they ran through my Paslode IM350+ without a single mood swing, which is more than I can say for a few other brands I’ve tried. Clean firing, no jams, no bent stragglers in the strip. If you’re framing, decking, or sticking timber to other timber, they do exactly what you want them to do.

35mm PPN Nails

These are made for a Positive Placement Nailer — the type of nail gun with a small locating pin that sits in the hole of a joist hanger or metal connector. Instead of guessing where the nail will land, the pin lines everything up so you can fire accurately every time, even in awkward angles or tight spaces.

I don’t have a PPN gun (yet), so I couldn’t test these properly. If anyone has a solid recommendation for a reliable one, I’m all ears.

38mm Angled Finish Nails

No test here — my 2nd fix gun (Hikoki NT1865DM) takes straight brads, not angled. They’ll get used eventually… probably the day I cave and buy another gun.

ProBuild Wood Screws

A pleasant surprise. No cam‑out, no mangled heads, and no slipping on the bit — just smooth, controlled driving. If you’ve ever fought with low‑grade screws, you’ll appreciate how much easier these make the job.

Cam‑out, by the way, is that annoying moment when the bit slips out of the screw head and skates across it. It usually happens with softer screws, worn bits, or just badly made heads, and it’s how you end up with stripped screws and wasted time. These didn’t do that — they stayed locked in and drove cleanly.

Nail Gun Gas - 40g

This was the standout of the whole bundle. The canister has a ball bearing inside — not just for the satisfying rattle, but to actually mix the gas properly when you shake it. That keeps the fuel consistent, which means a cleaner burn and more reliable ignition. My IM350+ hasn’t had a proper service in… let’s call it “a while,” and cheaper gas usually throws a tantrum because of that. This stuff didn’t misfire once. When your gun is basically running on hopes and prayers, better gas really does make a difference.

Nail Gun Gas - 20g

Also included, but I don’t currently own a gun that takes 20g cartridges. These are typically for 2nd fix Paslode guns — skirting, architraves, trim, all the neat indoor stuff. Since my setup is different, this one’s going into the “future tools I’ll probably buy” drawer.

Mitre Bonding Kit

Comes with glue and activator. Good viscosity, fast grab, no weird chemical stink. Ideal for trim, beading, and quick fixes around site. Solid addition to the kit.

Two Tubes of Silicone

Haven’t cracked them open yet, but silicone always gets used sooner or later — usually on a job you didn’t plan for. In the kit came 101 Universal Bonding & Sealing Adhesive and 406 Solvent‑Free Adhesive, From my understanding 101 = your construction‑grade, flexible, weatherproof adhesive/sealant for big jobs and 406 = your fast‑acting, rigid, precision glue for small repairs and plastics.

The Wrap-Up

It’s a mixed bag in terms of what I could actually use right now, but the bits I did test performed really well — especially the high‑performance gas and the framing nails. The screws and mitre kit were solid too. The rest will either get used when I upgrade tools or passed on to someone who can put them to work. If you like having a stash of consumables ready for whatever job pops up next, it’s a handy kit — just make sure your nail guns match what’s inside.
