Product Information

Full details

The Unifix Bright Round Lost Head Nails are designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, clean-finishing fastener for various woodworking applications. Measuring 65 x 3.35mm, these nails provide a strong and secure hold for structural and decorative timber projects; however, because they lack a protective coating, they are best suited for indoor use where moisture exposure is minimal to avoid oxidation.

FAQs

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

No. These are bright finish nails and lack the zinc coating necessary to prevent rust in outdoor or wet environments.

What does 'lost head' mean?

A lost head nail has a small, tapered head designed to be driven beneath the surface of the timber, allowing the hole to be filled and concealed.

Can I use these with a nail gun?

These are primarily designed for manual hammering. Using them in pneumatic nail guns may lead to jams or damage to the nail head.

What material is best for these nails?

They work best in softwoods and common construction timber. For dense hardwoods, pre-drilling is required.

Do I need to prime these if I'm painting?

Yes. It is recommended to prime the filler spot to ensure even adhesion and to prevent any future potential for rust marks to bleed through the paint.

Troubleshooting

Nail head remains visible on the surface

Use a nail punch to drive the head below the timber surface, then cover with matching wood filler.

Wood splits upon driving the nail

Reduce the nail gauge or pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the 3.35mm shank diameter.

Nails are showing signs of surface oxidation

Sand the affected area lightly and apply a protective sealant, varnish, or paint to seal the metal from air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Small head allows for countersinking for a near-invisible finish
  • High-grade steel provides robust structural integrity
  • Ideal length for standard timber thicknesses and framing
  • Reliable, consistent performance for professional carpentry

Cons

  • Not galvanized, meaning they may rust if used in exterior or damp conditions
  • Bright finish requires covering or painting if exposed to high-humidity air
  • Manual hammering required; not suitable for automated pneumatic nail guns

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure you are using a hammer with a smooth face to avoid marring the wood surface. If working with hardwood, it is recommended to pilot drill a small hole first to prevent the timber from splitting. Because these are bright finish nails, avoid using them in external structures like decks or fences. To prevent surface rust, keep the nails in their original packaging in a cool, dry area. If you live in a high-humidity climate, consider a light wipe of machine oil on the nails before long-term storage.
