Box Nails
Box nails are a type of wire nail that is slightly thinner than a common nail. They are often used for lighter applications, such as assembling boxes and crates, as well as for nailing siding, fences, and other exterior trim. Box nails are also commonly used in framing applications, where they are driven into the face of the wood to provide additional holding power.
Box nails are available in a variety of lengths and finishes, including galvanized steel, which provides resistance to corrosion. They are typically sold in bulk quantities, such as pounds or boxes.
Some common uses for box nails include:
- Assembling boxes and crates
- Nailing siding
- Nailing fences
- Nailing exterior trim
- Framing applications
Box nails are a versatile and affordable type of fastener that can be used for a variety of applications. They are easy to use and drive, and they provide a strong and secure hold.
