Wire Nails Multipurpose use for Home and Offices Flat Head (Keel)

In woodworking and construction a nail is a small object made of metal which is used as a fastener, as a peg to hang something, or sometimes as a decoration.

Generally, nails have a sharp point on one end and a flattened head on the other, but headless nails are available. Nails are made in a great variety of forms for specialized purposes.

The most common is a wire nail. Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads, spikes, and cleats. Nails are typically driven into the work piece by a hammer or pneumatic nail gun. A nail holds materials together by friction in the axial direction and shear strength laterally. The point of the nail is also sometimes bent over or clinched after driving to prevent pulling out.
