Common Nail

Grip-Rite® common nails are often referred to as framing nails or carpentry nails due to their most popular applications. The common nail may be small, but it is a construction industry giant, covering a broad range of applications. Our Grip-Rite® common nails come in different lengths, gauges and head sizes. We also offer various packaging options, such as boxes or buckets.

Features & Benefits

  • Common nails have round heads, sturdy shanks and diamond point manufacturing to ensure strength.

  • These nails have bright, uncoated steel finishes for use in places where corrosion resistance is unnecessary.

  • The shanks have a smooth surface, making it easier to drive these nails into wood.

  • Penny nail sizes range from 3d to 60d.

Typical Applications for Common Nails

These smooth shank nails are ideal for applications involving wood. These nails are often used to create frames that give structure, shape and support. They are ideal for fastening wood to make walls, roofs and floors. The sharp tip, thick shanks, and large heads allow you to hammer them in easily. 

These nails are also essential in most carpentry projects since they can be used for hard or soft wood. Contractors rely on common nails to manufacture cabinets, siding and furniture repair.
