8d common nail gun

The 8d common nail is the go-to fastening solution for thin pieces of wood or other materials. Using a nail gun, this nail easily penetrates the material to provide a durable connection. However, it is not as secure as a screw or a bolt and should only be used for less demanding tasks. Regardless, this nail is an efficient tool for joining wooden elements during construction projects.

Made of steel, the 8d common nail is shaped like a cylinder and is topped with a sharp point. Measuring 2 inches (5.1 cm) in length, the diameter of this type of nail measures 0.131 inches (3.3 mm), with a flat head.

A gun designed for driving 8d common nails into wood requires the user to stack the necessary nails in its chamber. Applying the gun to the wooden surface, one then pulls the trigger to force the nail securely into the material.

When the task requires a swift and uncomplicated fastener, the 8d common nail is the ideal choice – that is, if the wood structures aren’t too bulky. After the job is done, you can swiftly free the wood from the nail’s grasp with a trusted hammer. While this type of fixatory doesn’t pack as much strength as a screw or a bolt, it provides lightweight and accurate support.
