Common wire nails feature a thick shank, a wide head, and a diamond-shaped point. They are most widely used for medium to heavy wood construction framing, carpentry, and general structural projects where strength is crucial.
Galvanized steel nails undergo a protective zinc coating process. This coating provides excellent resistance against rust and environmental corrosion, making them the standard choice for outdoor applications, decking, and fencing.
Ring shank nails feature small rings or ridges along the shank. These ridges lock into the wood fibers, offering significantly increased holding power and resistance to backing out, making them ideal for subfloors and drywall installation.
Duplex nails, or double-headed nails, are designed for temporary structures like scaffolding, concrete forms, and wood bracing. The secondary head remains exposed above the wood surface, allowing the nail to be easily extracted later.
Screw nails, which feature a helical thread along the shank, rotate when driven into wood. This provides the fast installation of a nail combined with the high-strength grip and withdrawal resistance of a screw.
