screws are not always recommended and sometimes a nail does it better

Wimpy swings. At the most It should 2 taps to set and 5 swings to drive a damn framing nail.

[@ixlr81967]

if you put shingle nails in that spot, just call a pro.. that is just so very wrong..

Yes: the nailing strip is to seal the driven nail hole in the shingle. Also, that is just face nailing, and then covering it with something else, (but good definition of the term). A better illustration is nailing in a shiplap.

[@Strife2211]

John Prendergast they should have described the best scenario to use each.
