FAQs
What type of wood are these nails best suited for?
They are suitable for various types of timber, particularly for internal construction projects. They are effective in both softwood and hardwood, provided the size is appropriate for the timber thickness.
Can these nails be used for outdoor projects?
These nails are recommended for internal usage only. They are made of carbon steel and are not coated for outdoor protection, making them susceptible to rust in exposed conditions.
What is the weight of the pack?
The pack contains 125g of round wire nails.
What tools are needed to use these nails?
A standard claw hammer is the primary tool required for driving these nails.
Are these nails galvanized?
No, these are standard carbon steel round wire nails and are not galvanized.
What is the difference between round wire nails and other types?
Round wire nails are a common type, generally easier to drive than some other fasteners. Their strength comes from the material (carbon steel) and dimensions (110mm x 5mm).
Troubleshooting
Nail bends during driving.
Ensure the nail is driven straight. Check that the timber is not excessively hard for the nail's size or that the hammer strike is sufficient and accurate.
Nail does not hold securely.
Verify the nail is long enough for the timber thickness. Ensure the nail is driven fully into the material and that the timber itself is sound, not rotten or weak.
Signs of rust on nails.
This typically indicates exposure to moisture. Ensure nails are stored in a dry place and used only in suitable indoor environments.

Compatibility: Best used with softwood and hardwood timbers for internal construction. Ensure the nail diameter (5mm) is appropriate for the thickness of the timber being joined to prevent splitting or inadequate hold. Compatible with standard claw hammers.
