FAQs
What type of wood are these nails best suited for?
These nails are suitable for most common types of timber used in internal construction and DIY projects, including softwoods like pine and hardwoods.
Can I use these nails for outdoor projects?
No, these nails are recommended for internal usage only due to their galvanised coating being designed for dry, indoor environments.
What is the weight of the pack?
The pack contains 125 grams of nails.
What is the diameter of these nails?
The diameter of these nails is 3mm.
Are these nails rust-resistant?
They have a galvanised coating which provides resistance to rust in internal environments. They are not intended for prolonged exposure to moisture or exterior conditions.
What hammer should I use with these nails?
A standard claw hammer of appropriate weight for the task is recommended. Ensure you strike the nail head squarely for effective driving.
Troubleshooting
Nail bends during hammering
Ensure the hammer is striking the nail head squarely. Check if the timber being nailed is too dense for the nail size or if the nail is hitting a knot. Consider using a slightly larger diameter nail if frequently encountering bending.
Galvanised coating appears to be damaged
Inspect nails before use. Minor surface blemishes are common, but significant damage may reduce corrosion resistance. Use nails with intact coatings for best results, especially if appearance is critical.
Nails are difficult to drive
Pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter can ease driving, particularly in dense hardwoods. Ensure the hammer is of appropriate weight for the task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These nails require no setup beyond standard DIY tools. Ensure you have a suitable hammer for driving them. It is recommended to wear safety glasses during use.
Compatibility: These nails are primarily designed for use with timber structures. They are compatible with common hammers and are suitable for softwoods and hardwoods commonly used in interior DIY projects. They are not recommended for use with power nail guns unless specifically indicated by the tool manufacturer for this nail type. Do not use for exterior applications or in environments with high humidity or moisture, as the galvanised coating is intended for interior conditions.
Care: Store the nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating. Keep the pack sealed when not in use to prevent dust and moisture accumulation.
