Product Information

Contrastly, smooth shank nails are ideal for basic framing applications and internal finish work. They can swiftly get into the internal area, whether it is hard or softwood. The diamond shape point present on roofing nails is specifically designed to keep the material intact. It does this by forcing small fibres to break rather than bending to split the wood. While roofing nails are not very nice for finishing looks, they excel at any application which requires a large nail to be driven into wood. Oxidation, or rust, is the enemy of any nail which will be exposed to elements like rain or humidity. Galvanization itself is actually a simple act, in which the steel nails are either electroplated or dipped into a molten zinc mixture to give the required coating. Drywall nails are similar to ring shank nails as they have rings down the shaft. Where ring shank will only have a section of textured rings, drywall nails will have rings all the way down the shaft. Drywall nails are typically used only for hanging drywall, as the ring texture lends itself to grip on the drywall well. The disadvantages of paper as a collation material can vary between your equipment, the quality of the paper and the environment you are working in. If all the conditions for paper collation are not correct, its collation paper can tear before the nail is driven in all the way.

Round heads nails– most widely used galvanised nails for fencing, framing, fence posts, and pergola’s Finishing nails are best suited for jobs like skirting, panelling, and cabinet work. Able to be sunken below the surface, finishing nails are great for non-visible work but will retain extra gripping force over other smaller pin nails.

Finishing nails are the most common nails used for small-scale and DIY wood projects.

When doing building work outdoors it makes perfect sense to use galvanised nails that have a robust coating that won’t succumb to the elements. Nails with a galvanised coating have a much higher chance of resistance to damp and cold conditions. Another key difference between a drywall nail and a traditional nail is the head. Drywall nails have a cupped head, allowing them to recess below the surface of the drywall. The cupped head allows for easy and neat finishing no matter the drywall application. Cut Nail Panel pins are smaller, fine gauge nails used for fine or delicate woodworking jobs. Attaching moulding or a veneer is the perfect job for panel pins as they do not hold much strength but are extremely neat. Round - Round nails are the most common type of masonry nails to be found.

For as long as humans have been constructing anything, we've been using nails. From the handmade nails found in the Roman Empire, to the invention of the slitting mill, to cut nails in the 16th century, nails have stood the test of time. In contrast, the holding strengths of smooth shanks may become weaker over time. This mainly happens when wood regularly expands and gets affected by excessive moisture. If the wood is extremely hard and the size of ring shanks is more than 5 inches, using additional might be necessary to get your job done. One of the main advantages of panel pins lay in the size of the head. When driven flush with the wood, the panel pin becomes very difficult to spot, allowing for neat joint work.
