Nail selection can be daunting – do you use common or spiral nails? To make the decision easier, let’s break down the differences between these two types of nails.
Among the different varieties of nails, those commonly known as ‘common nails’ are by far the most ordinarily employed. Formed from a hardened piece of metal, these nails feature a flat tip that adds to their strength and flexibility. Installing a common nail is simplicity itself, capable of entering most kinds of wood with relative ease. Ultimately, these nails are invaluable assets when dealing with general purpose projects.
Spiraling out of coils of metal, spiral nails produce a sturdy grip, making them the ideal fastening tool for joining two pieces of wood. However, their sharp points can make them challenging to insert into certain types of wood, and they often come with a pricier tag than other nails.
If your aim is to create an ordinary build, then standard nails would be the best bet; alternatively, if a tight bond or tougher wood is involved, opting for spiral nails could work well.
