Fastening into concrete usually means choosing between direct nailing and anchoring. A nail is driven into the base material; an anchor is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and expands or threads to create a hold. The four fastener sets in this guide represent both approaches, with listed prices from $12 to $84.55. Picking the right one comes down to the quantity you need, the length required, and whether your tool is set up for collated nails or individual fasteners.
Quick take
Across these four listings, the decision splits between boxed concrete nails, T-head nail strips, screw anchors, and wedge anchors. The RAMSET listing is a bulk nail supply; the KIMSING pack is a strip with a galvanized finish; the Simpson Strong-Tie set is a long screw anchor; the Powers listing is a wedge-anchor option. The price table below lines up the listed prices and pack counts.

Product notes
RAMSET 5 BOXES 2 1/2"Nails For Concrete With Fasteners 100 Per Box Total 500
At $12.00, this listing gives you 500 concrete nails across five 100-count boxes. The 2-1/2-inch length is the longest nail option in this group, and the fasteners included with each box simplify the per-project count. It is the right choice when you need a large number of nails for a low listed price and don't want to run out mid-job. The catch is the packaging: you are managing five boxes instead of one, and this is a nail set rather than an anchor, so it won't serve projects that need a threaded or wedge-style connection. If your fastening plan is direct nailing, this set gives you the lowest listed price in the comparison.
14 Gauge ST-32 T Head Concrete Nails 1-1/4in 32mm Galvanized Collated Fasteners
This KIMSING listing is the high-count, high-listed-price option at $84.55 for 800 nails. The 14-gauge T-head nails have a galvanized finish, a sharp chisel tip, and hardened steel construction for corrosion resistance. Because they are glue-collated for pneumatic concrete nailers, you can feed a long run without reloading as often. The trade-off is cost per nail: at roughly $0.106 each, it is the most expensive per unit in this set of four. The 1-1/4-inch length is compact, so this pack pairs with a pneumatic concrete nailer when you need a large supply of collated fasteners.
Structural Fasteners Concrete Anchor Simpson Strong-Tie THD501200h 1/2 x 12 New
Priced at $39.99, this listing provides 20 Simpson Strong-Tie Titen-HD screw anchors in a 1/2-inch by 12-inch size. It arrives as four boxes of five, with the outer boxes opened only to verify contents. The zinc-plated finish and heavy-duty screw design make it the anchor option for jobs that need depth; 12 inches is far longer than the Powers wedge anchor's 4-1/2 inches. The limitation is count: 20 anchors is the smallest quantity in this group, and the per-anchor price works out to $2.00, so it is not a bulk purchase. Turn to this set when you need a small number of long, heavy-duty anchors for a structural connection.
50 - Powers Fasteners 7423SD1-PWR Seismic Concrete Wedge Anchors 1/2" x 4-1/2
At $37.99, this Powers pack holds 50 wedge anchors in a 1/2-inch by 4-1/2-inch size, putting it in the middle of the group for count and price. The anchors are new and only removed from the box to lower the cost, and the material is carbon steel with zinc. The 7423SD1-PWR is identified as a seismic concrete wedge anchor, and the wedge design creates a mechanical hold by expanding against the concrete. The main limitation is the shorter 4-1/2-inch length: if you need deep embedment similar to the Simpson 12-inch anchor, this is not the one. For a project that needs 50 wedge anchors, this pack is a practical selection.
Final recommendation by use case
If you are tackling a high-volume concrete nailing job and want the lowest listed price, the RAMSET 5-box set is the option. If you are feeding a concrete nailer and want corrosion resistance, the KIMSING ST-32 pack is the one. For a deep screw-anchor connection, the Simpson Strong-Tie THD501200H set brings a long anchor. For a larger run of anchors at a moderate outlay, the Powers 7423SD1-PWR pack is the practical middle ground. Match the fastener to the task and the tool you have on hand, and you will avoid choosing the wrong anchor style for the job.
