Common Nails
Common nails are the most commonly used type of steel nails. These nails have a thicker and larger shank than that of the box nails. In addition, common steel nails are also shown as a wide head, a smooth shank and a diamond-shaped point. Workers like to use common nails for framing, carpentry, wood structural panel shear walls and other general indoor construction projects. These nails range from 1 to 6 inches in length and 2d to 60d in size.
