Product Information

Nail heads vary according to the application, as well. For instance, roofing nails incorporate thin, wide heads that both lay flat under succeeding shingles and provide a wide bearing surface against the material to keep it from tearing. Finishing nails have small heads that grip the wood slightly but enable the nails to be sunk below the surface and later puttied over. Flooring nails used to install subfloors also have wider, flat heads – and are usually ring shanked as well – again to lie flat beneath the finished flooring and to provide protection from boards working loose and developing squeaks.

These so-called deformed-shank nails are used in other aspects of construction to ensure that the nail does not pull out due to wind buffeting or pedestrian traffic, for instance. Threaded-shank nails rotate as they are driven into wood or masonry, while ring-shank nails promote a wedging action between the nail and the wood fibers. Ring-shank nails are often used in softwoods while barbed shanks increase the holding power of nails in hardwood.

Most battery-powered nail guns make use of 18V batteries that deliver plenty of power without adding too much weight to the tool. Just be prepared to pay for the privilege. Shots per Charge

Electric nail guns can be corded or cordless. Today, the majority of DIYers choose a cordless tool, which has enough power to handle the small-to-midsize nails used in most common DIY projects. For example, our best battery-powered option, the PORTER-CABLE Cordless Brad Nailer, allows you to work freely without worrying about a power cord. As with any cordless tool, however, you’ll need to be aware of your battery life to avoid running out of power halfway through the job. A corded nail gun eliminates the problem, but you’ll be tethered to the nearest electrical outlet. This article is written and updated by Michelle Ullman, the tool expert for The Spruce.
