Screw nails combine the easy installation of standard nails with the superior holding power of screws. They feature thread shanks that rotate during insertion, locking tightly into wood fibers and dramatically reducing the chance of backing out over time.
Hot dipped galvanized box nails are designed for outdoor applications or in high-moisture environments. The hot-dipped zinc coating provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for exterior trim, siding, and light framing projects.
Sinker nails are slightly thinner than common nails to prevent wood splitting. They feature a textured grid pattern on the flat head to prevent hammer slippage and are coated with a special vinyl or epoxy layer that melts from friction during driving, lubricating the nail and then bonding it to the wood upon cooling.
Floor nails typically feature a spiral or ring shank pattern that provides maximum grip within subfloors and joists. This prevents subfloor shifting, which is the primary cause of squeaking floors, ensuring a quiet and structurally stable hardwood installation.
Tack nails are lightweight fasteners with sharp points used for temporary holds or securing carpets and fabrics. Upholstery nails, often designed with ornamental heads, are used to secure fabric, leather, or trim to furniture, serving both a functional and decorative purpose.
