Common Nails

Common nails, also called wire nails, are the most widely used fasteners in construction, carpentry and packaging. Kin Metal supplies common nails in Q195 and Q235 carbon steel in lengths from 10 mm to 350 mm and diameters from 1.0 mm to 8.0 mm, with smooth or twisted shanks and flat, round or semicircular heads.
Applications of Common Nails
Common nails are used for framing, formwork, pallets and crates, fence fixing and general building work. A smooth shank is suitable for interior and non-structural work, while twisted shanks improve withdrawal resistance in timber. Buying common nails in bulk from a nail manufacturer ensures consistent hardness, straightness and head shape across every batch.
Materials and Finishes
Common nails are available bright, electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized. Bright nails suit indoor work; galvanized finishes protect against rust in humid or outdoor conditions. Packing options include 5 kg, 25 kg cartons, bulk pallets and customer-specific labelling for distributors and importers.
