You can use #8 nails or 1 1/4" Torx screws. I opted for the screws because, high up in the air on a ladder and because space to swing a hammer is limited, it is easier to drive the screw with a drill. Go to your hardware store and buy the hardened steel Torx bit which will literally drive thousands of screws. The softer steel Torx bits that come with a set of bits will get rounded off fairly easily. Also, get the magnetic attachment that expands and collapses to hold the screws so you don't keep dropping them.

Simpson Strong-Tie H2.5A-100 5A-100PK-H2.5A 18-Gauge Hurricane Tie 100ct, No Color, 100 Pack

Simpson Strong-Tie H2.5A-100 5A-100PK-H2.5A 18-Gauge Hurricane Tie 100ct, No Color, 100 Pack

Q: This says to install 2 on either side of the rafter, if you use 1 1/2 nails wouldn’t the nails go into each other if it’s on both sides?

That would seem to be the case. My install was with screws and I only put on one side of the rafter.

Q: Will this work for connecting two 2"x 4"s at right angles? Maybe if i bend them over the top and/or bottom?

No. You need a T bracket for right angle

Q: are you required to install one on each side of the rafter? 2 total on each rafter?

No. If you try, you would be nailing into the first connector’s nails! You should look up your local building code to be sure of the correct connector type and nail length.

Exactly as ordered however....

Firstly, the item is exactly as ordered and I am confidant that it does what it's supposed to do,so you should have no fear ordering.I did however have an issue with the delivery. I ordered 100,which was offered,surprisingly, at 80odd % discount.So I paid only 17euros. Unfortunately I only received 1....not 100. When I highlighted this with Amazon,the company were very swift to reply and apologised,blaming a website error (which has been since corrected) and immediately initiated a refund.So even tho there was an issue,the 5 stars are still given for the product and the prompt action of the company.
