About This Project

SHANK:

SMOOTH: Most common and often used for framing and general construction applications; offer enough holding power for most everyday use.

RING: sometimes called deformed shank nails, are nails with ridges or grooves along the shank, the part of the nail that penetrates the wood. These nails have a much better holding power than nails with a smooth shank because the rings act as wedges to keep the nail firmly in place so that it cannot pop out.

SPIRAL : spiral-shank nails are mostly used with hardwood; great holding power; sustain greater impact withdrawal work values than do other nail forms.

FLUTED: the fluted shank nails have linear grooves. Durable for general purpose projects. This nail is commonly used for cleats, flood plates, fastening furring, and partitions. Key Features
