Common nails are used for building a structural panel or shear wall from wood-insulated panels. They are also ideal for framing and general construction applications, owing to their exceptional strength of gripping wood. These nails have 3 parts - a point, a shank and a head. To prevent the splitting of wood, some users dull the nail tip. These units can be installed or removed using hammers, pry bars, nail pullers, flat bars, hammer claws and pliers. Raptor Supplies offers these nails in lengths ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches and head diameters ranging from 1/4 to 13/32 inch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'd' in the size of sinker nails denote?
The 'd' denotes the length of a nail (including the head) by its penny size. The abbreviation 'd' stands for 'denarius', which is an ancient Roman coin that became connected with the old British penny over time. The longer the nail, the larger the penny size.
How to choose the size of a nail?
The nail length should be 2 to 3 times the thickness of the material being nailed through.
What is the difference between common nails and box nails?
Common nails resemble box nails, but have thicker / larger diameter shanks. Common nails are easier to drive in and the heavy shanks permit them to carry massive structural loads, owing to their exceptional strength.
How do these nails work?
- The shaft of the nail pushes apart wood fibres as the tip penetrates the surface.
- The friction caused by the dislodged wood fibres grabs the nail's shaft, delivering powerful holding ability.
