These Nails Act Like Screws! (2 Nail Types That Perform Like Screws = MORE FASTENING POWER!)

I've said before on the show that screws have vastly more holding power than nails. But there are two types of nails on the market that have a holding capacity CLOSER to screws. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain how these nails work, and where we use them!

RING SHANK and SPIRAL (SCREW) SHANK nails both have "deformations" along the nail shaft that give them better holding power.

Ring shanks have small, perpendicular ridges, like ribs, along the nail shank. These ribs grab wood from within when the nail is embedded.

Spiral shanks have long tapered flutes that travel up the length of the shank. Spiral shanks rotate as they are driven in, creating pathways for their contours, similar to screw threads.

Ring shanks are most commonly used in roofing and roof sheathing, as well as subfloor and plywood underlayments, and siding.

Spiral shanks are especially common in siding installation, as well as decking. They're good for hardwood applications as well, so they get used a lot for various types of hardwood flooring.

Both of these nails perform well in areas that are very prone to wood shrinking and swelling, as well as places that get subjected to heavy weight stress, like floors.

The use of ring or spiral shank may be mandated by code for certain applications in various areas.

But, in other situations, ring and spiral shank fasteners are overkill! Most house framing is done with smooth shank nails, as are many trim/finish applications.

Thanks for watching!
