Bright oval nails are traditional oval-shank nails designed to minimise timber splitting while delivering strong holding power ideal for interior joinery and finish carpentry. The oval cross-section should be aligned with the grain during driving to reduce the risk of cracks near edges. The bright uncoated finish suits dry, internal applications where galvanising is not required. Key features & benefits oval shank: reduced splitting when driven with the thin edge parallel to the grain. High holding power: tapered profile and generous length options for secure fixes. Neat finish: small head can be set with a nail punch and filled for discreet appearance. Trade packs: supplied in 1kg bags with clear approximate piece counts. Versatile use: suitable for skirtings, architraves, casings, floorboards and general interior joinery.
