Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use Diall Galvanised Twisted Nails, you'll need a hammer and safety glasses. Ensure you're wearing appropriate eye protection. For hardwood, pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent the nails from bending. Place the nail where required and hammer it straight, using steady, controlled strikes. Avoid over-hammering, which can damage the timber or weaken the nail's hold. Ensure that the nails are compatible with the type of wood you're using; consider the timber's density and hardness. No special care is needed beyond ensuring the nail heads are flush with the timber surface to prevent snagging or injury.
