Twist Nails – Sheradised Steel – Outdoor Use

Product Overview

Our 20mm sheradised square twist nails are ideal for securely fixing joist hangers, restraint straps, and light timber-to-timber connections. These nails are crafted from high-strength carbon steel and feature a durable sheradised zinc coating, ensuring improved corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior applications.

The square-twisted shank design increases surface area and creates a threaded effect within the timber, providing exceptional grip and preventing loosening over time. The countersunk head ensures a flush finish with the surface for improved appearance and easier overpainting, while the diamond-bevelled tip enhances driving accuracy and reduces the risk of timber splitting.
