The length ranges from 1 to 6 inches, and the size ranges from 2d to 60d. They are often used to link building frames. According to different uses and shapes, common nails can be divided into many types, such as round head nails, flat head nails, flat head nails, square head nails, etc. According to the material and surface treatment, they are divided into galvanized common nails, polished common nails, and stainless steel common nails.

Difference between concrete nails and common nails

First of all, what is the meaning of concrete nails? It is a nail made of hardened steel, especially used for masonry in the construction field.

The main difference between the two is the material. Ordinary nails for wood are usually of soft, low-carbon, or “mild” steel (about 0.1% carbon, the rest iron, and perhaps a trace of silicon or manganese). Nails for concrete are harder, with 0.5–0.75% carbon.

What is the difference between a finishing nail and a common nail?

There is a clear difference in their appearance. Finishing nails are lighter than regular nails and have a smaller head. They are generally used in places where you don’t want the nail head to show, such as installing paneling or trim. They have a thinner shank, which reduces the chance of splitting the wood, making them a perfect choice for fine woodwork and handmade furniture.

Common Nail VS Box Nail

“Common” nails have larger diameter shanks than the box, cooler, or sinker nails of the same “penny weight”. The heavy shank allows them to carry higher structural loads. “Box” nails have lighter (smaller diameter) shanks. They were originally designed to reduce splitting when used to assemble wooden “boxes”.

Characteristics of Common Nails

1. Diverse materials: Common nails can be made of a variety of metals to suit different environments and uses.

2. Easy to use: Ordinary nails usually have sharp heads, which are convenient for penetrating materials and fixing.

3. High strength: Common nails made of metal have high strength and durability and can withstand large pulling forces.

Common Nails Uses

1. Wood connections: Ordinary nails are often used to connect wood to wood, such as furniture making and building construction.

2. Metal connections: In some cases, ordinary nails can also be used to connect metal to metal, but usually require the use of special types of nails (such as rivets).

3. Other uses: Ordinary nails can also be used to make artwork, repair items, etc.

 

Common Nail Usage Precautions:

1. Anti-corrosion treatment: For ordinary nails used in humid environments, anti-corrosion treatment is recommended to extend the service life.

2. Avoid excessive use: Excessive use of nails may cause material damage or loose connections, so use them reasonably.

3. Storage and preservation: Store ordinary nails in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid moisture and corrosion.
