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:

Preparation: Ensure the timber is clean and free of any obstructions. If using hardwoods, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting.
Positioning: Place the nail in the desired location.
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.
