The nails have a diameter of 2.36mm.

What is the length of the nails?

The nails are 40mm in length.

What material are these nails made of?

The nails are made from durable carbon steel.

How should I store these nails?

Store the nails in a dry place to prevent rust.

What should I do if the nail bends while hammering?

If the nail bends, pre-drill a pilot hole or consider a slightly thinner nail.

How do I get the nail head flush with the surface?

Use a nail set to drive the head slightly below the surface of the wood.

Troubleshooting

Nail is bending when hammered in.

Pre-drill a pilot hole, or switch to a slightly thinner nail if working with particularly hard timber.

Nail head not flush.

Use a nail set to drive the head below the surface. Be careful not to damage the surrounding timber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the timber is clean and free of any obstructions. If using hardwoods, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting.
  2. Positioning: Place the nail in the desired location.
  3. Installation: Use a hammer to drive the nail flush with the surface. A nail set can be used to set the head slightly below the surface.

Compatibility:

These nails are compatible with most soft and medium-density timbers. Avoid using them with extremely hard woods unless pre-drilling.

Care:

Store the nails in a dry place to prevent rust. If rust does occur, remove it with a wire brush or fine steel wool.
