Nails: What You Need to Know

Nails, also known as fasteners or brads, are used to secure wood, metal, and composite materials. They come in various lengths and thicknesses, ranging from #6 to #10, and are packaged in quantities from 1–100 pcs to 7,001–10,000 pcs. Designed for construction, framing, and finishing, nails provide strong holding power and structural integrity.

Types:

• Box Nails: Box nails are lightweight and designed for attaching thin wood boards. Their thinner shank reduces wood splitting.
• Brad Nails: Brad nails are thin and designed for precision finishing. They leave a small hole that minimizes surface damage.
• Collated Framing Nails: These nails are joined together in strips or coils for quick, consistent use in nail guns. They are ideal for large framing projects.
• Finishing Nails: Finishing nails have small heads and smooth shafts, providing a clean, polished look for wood trim and molding.
• Roofing Nails: Roofing nails have a wide head and sharp point, allowing for secure attachment of shingles and roofing materials. Their corrosion-resistant coating ensures longevity.

Features:

• Angled Design: Nails are available in 5° to 34° angles, improving penetration and load distribution. Angled nails are suitable for tight spaces and increased holding strength.
• Coating: Nails are available with galvanized and phosphate coatings to prevent rust and improve friction. Zinc-plated options offer additional corrosion resistance.

Sizing:

• #1 to #3: Best for lightweight trim and paneling work where precision is essential.
• #8 to #10: Suitable for medium-duty framing and wood-to-metal connections.
• #11 to #12-1/2: Designed for securing siding, roofing, and structural panels.
• #13 to #15: Ideal for heavy-duty framing and load-bearing structures.
• #16-1/2 to #17: Best for industrial and high-stress applications where maximum holding strength is required.
