Screw Nails

Screw nails, also called twisted shank nails, combine the speed of hammer or nail-gun installation with the holding power of a screw. Kin Metal manufactures screw nails with twisted or ringed shanks in lengths from 40 mm to 150 mm, in bright, galvanized and stainless steel finishes.
Why Choose Screw Nails
The twisted shank rotates into the timber during driving, increasing withdrawal resistance compared with smooth nails. Screw nails are widely used in roof batten fixing, fence construction, pallet assembly, joinery and any application where vibration or load could pull a standard nail loose. They are available with flat, round, lost-head and countersunk heads for different finishes.
Materials and Coatings
Carbon steel screw nails are supplied bright for interior use or galvanized for outdoor projects. Stainless steel screw nails (304) are used in coastal and treated-timber applications where corrosion resistance is essential. We also supply screw nails for nail guns, with collated options on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are screw nails the same as ring shank nails?

Both are high-holding designs. Screw (twisted) nails have a continuous spiral shank, while ring shank nails have annular rings. Each performs best in different timber and loading conditions.

Can screw nails be used with a nail gun?

Yes, screw nails can be supplied for pneumatic nailers with collated strips. Check the nail gun compatibility before ordering. Read our screw nails guide and ring shank vs smooth shank comparison .
