Full details
The Unifix A2-304 Stainless Steel Lost Head Nails are ideal for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a durable, corrosion-resistant fastening solution for timber joinery and construction. These nails provide a clean, discreet finish thanks to their lost head design, though they are specifically engineered for timber applications and may not be suitable for high-impact metal-on-metal or concrete fastening needs.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these nails suitable for marine environments?
While A2-304 provides excellent resistance, for direct marine (saltwater) contact, A4 marine-grade stainless steel is generally recommended.
Can I use these with a pneumatic nail gun?
These nails are designed for manual hammer application. Check your nail gun specifications to see if it accepts loose nails of this specific shank thickness.
Will these nails leave rust marks on oak?
No, the A2-304 stainless steel is highly resistant to oxidation and is safe for use with tannin-rich woods like oak.
How many nails are in a 1Kg pack?
The quantity varies based on the length and weight, but 1Kg provides a significant supply for standard residential finishing projects.
Can these be painted over?
Yes, once the nail is punched below the surface and the hole is filled, the surface can be primed and painted as normal.
Troubleshooting
Nails bending while being driven into hard timber.
Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the 3.35mm diameter of the nail to reduce resistance.
Nail head is visible on the surface.
Use a nail punch tool to drive the head below the surface, then cover with a suitable wood filler.
Surface of wood splitting.
Ensure you are not driving the nail too close to the edge of the board; if splitting occurs, pre-drill the hole.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent corrosion resistance due to A2-304 grade stainless steel
- Lost head design provides a clean, flush finish
- Durable enough for both indoor and outdoor environments
- High-quality material prevents staining or bleeding on wood surfaces
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty masonry or concrete applications
- Requires a nail punch for a true 'lost' finish
- Stainless steel is softer than hardened carbon steel and can bend under excessive force
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure you are using a hammer with a smooth or slightly checkered face to avoid marring the wood surface during installation. Because these are stainless steel, they can be slightly more prone to bending if struck at an off-angle; take care to drive them straight into the material. If you are working with particularly dense hardwoods, it is recommended to pilot-drill the wood to prevent the nail from bending or splitting the timber. Keep the remaining nails in the provided packaging in a dry area to prevent debris buildup, though the nails themselves will not rust if stored in damp conditions.
