Construction Common nails

Concrete forming nails are typically longer and stronger than regular common nails. They are made from hardened steel and have a large, flat head that helps to prevent them from pulling through the wood used to create the form. The shank of the nail is also often ribbed or serrated to provide additional grip and reduce the chance of the nail slipping out of the form.

Concrete forming nails are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different types of forms and thicknesses of wood. They are commonly used in the construction of concrete walls, foundations, and other structures where a form needs to be created to contain the concrete until it sets.

It’s important to use the right type and size of nail for the job to ensure that the form is secure and the concrete is properly contained. When using concrete forming nails, it’s also important to take proper safety precautions, such as wearing eye protection and using a hammer with a non-slip grip to reduce the risk of injury.
