When selecting nails for any task, size is a critical factor that cannot be overlooked. The most widespread type used for various applications is the common nail which embraces a range of lengths and widths; the 2-inch by 8d, often referred to as a finishing nail, is probably the most commonly used option.
When tackling heavy-duty construction projects, whether it is framing lumber or sheathing, a bigger type of nail is required. Gun nails, available in multiple sizes, fulfill this need. Of these, the most popular size for gun nails is the 3-inch by 16d.
Common and gun nails are alike in that they both possess a smooth, tapered shank that can easily penetrate wood. However, they differ when it comes to the shank’s material; soft steel makes up the common variety, while gun nails are crafted with a harder form of the alloy. Additionally, the head of a common nail is marginally larger than its shank, but the head of a gun nail is disproportionately larger in comparison to its shaft.
Hardware stores abound with common nails, yet when it comes to gun nails, it’s wise to obtain them from a trusted specialty supplier; then make sure to select the most suitable one in terms of size and purpose.
