I'm getting ready to shingle a roof for a shed/outdoor office and I'm confused on if/when I should use plastic round cap roofing nails:
I haven't seen these used in any instructions (including the instructions that came with my shingles) or videos. Are these nails a gimmick? Or are there clear advantages to using them?

Those nails are used only for holding down the roofing underlayment. They excel at doing so whether it be old school tar paper, or the newer more durable, hi tech roof underlayments.
