Product Information

Full details

These Forgefix Annular Ring Shank Nails are the ideal choice for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require maximum holding power in permanent wood construction projects. Featuring a unique ringed shank design, these nails provide excellent grip in both softwood and hardwood, making them perfect for flooring and framing applications; however, because they feature a bright, uncoated finish, they are susceptible to rust and should be limited to interior, dry-environment use.

FAQs

Can these nails be used outside?

No. These nails feature a bright, uncoated finish and will rust quickly if exposed to outdoor elements or moisture.

Are these nails easy to remove?

No. The annular ring design provides significant pull-out resistance, meaning they are intended for permanent installations and are difficult to extract without damaging the wood.

Will these work with a pneumatic nail gun?

Yes, provided your nail gun is compatible with 65mm ring shank nails. Always verify your tool's specifications before loading.

Do I need to prime these nails before painting?

Since they are typically used for structural hidden work (like subflooring), they are not usually visible. However, if they are exposed, they should be treated like bare steel.

How much does the pack weigh?

The pack contains 500g of nails.

Troubleshooting

Nail is bending during installation

Ensure you are using a hammer with a square face and that you are striking the nail head directly. If using a nail gun, check that the air pressure is not too high.

Wood is splitting when nailing

Try using a smaller diameter pilot hole before driving the nail, or adjust your placement slightly away from the edge of the timber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior holding power due to ring shank design
  • Effective in both softwood and hardwood
  • Resistant to withdrawal once driven
  • Clean finish ideal for permanent interior installations

Cons

  • Bright finish is prone to oxidation in humid conditions
  • Not suitable for exterior or treated wood applications
  • Difficult to remove once installed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your hammer or nailer is correctly set for 65mm fasteners. When working with harder woods, it is often advisable to drill a small pilot hole to prevent the wood from splitting, especially when nailing near the edge of a board. Since these nails have a bright, uncoated finish, they are not galvanized or stainless steel. To prevent staining or long-term degradation, store the remaining nails in a cool, dry place and avoid using them in exterior structures, bathrooms, or areas prone to high moisture levels.
