FAQs

What is a blind nail?

A blind nail is a fastener designed to create a mechanical connection from a hidden side, leaving no visible fastener heads on the finished surface.

What tools are needed to use these nails?

You will need a compatible blind nail tool designed to accept and drive these dual-head nails.

Can I use these nails with a standard hammer?

No, these nails require a specialized blind nail tool for proper insertion and to achieve a hidden connection.

What are the dimensions of the nails?

Each nail has dual heads measuring 9mm and 5mm (approximately 3/8" and 3/16").

How many nails are in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 FastCap Double-Ended Blind Nails.

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

While made of hardened steel, they are best suited for interior applications where extreme weather exposure is not a factor. For outdoor use, consider fasteners specifically rated for exterior conditions.

Can I paint or stain over the connection?

Since the nails are hidden, there is no surface to paint or stain. The surrounding material can be finished as usual.

Troubleshooting

Nail not fully inserted

Ensure the blind nail tool is properly loaded and activated. Check that the nail is correctly seated in the tool's mechanism and that there are no obstructions.

Poor holding power

Verify that the nail is driven into solid material and not into a void. Ensure the correct nail size is being used for the material thickness and application.

Tool jams with nail

Check the nail for any defects or bends before insertion. Clean the blind nail tool mechanism as per the tool's manual.

Visible nail head

This indicates the nail was not fully driven or the blind nail tool was not used correctly. Practice positioning and activation of the tool to ensure a hidden finish.
