Do you prefer the flex tape corner stuff or the nail on metal corners?

Each can have their benefits, but for general use, nail on, but use a clenching tool.

I only ever used the nail on. This time I used the pre-taped metal corner bead. I really like it. Its application is very similar to the flex tape so it is eay to put up and it looks great. I had never used them before but someone on here recommended it and I think they are great.

Dont ever use flex bead for an outside corner. It will damage too easily. Use metal or plastic. Nail it on.

Inside corners I like the paperfaced flexbead, but for outside corners, vinyl or plastic is definitely the way to go IMO. I haven't used any of the old nail or clench on metal corners in a long time. In fact I don't even know where my clencher tool is anymore. :p
