Nails for Fast, Durable Fastening in Demanding Applications

Nails are a fundamental fastener in construction, renovation, and general maintenance. Their simple design allows quick installation, yet consistent strength is imperative to withstand dynamic loads and environmental challenges. Hilti’s nails are manufactured to exact specifications and performance standards, offering a reliable solution for professionals working under tight deadlines and varying site conditions.

What Are Nails?

Nails are slender metal shafts used to connect wood, steel, concrete, and composite materials, relying on friction and the compressive forces of the substrate to hold securely. Although nails seem straightforward, variables such as shank type, point design, and surface treatments can significantly influence their performance.
