There are dozens of different types of nails, each offering a completely different purpose and end result. Choosing the right nail for the right purpose or job is often extremely important for this very reason. Here is a quick guide for choosing the perfect nail for your project.

Steel Nails
This is the most common type of nail, and also is the least expensive but it cannot stand up well when it comes to the elements, and therefore they are best suited for interior use.

Common Nails
Common nails are nails that have large and flat heads. These common nails are best suited for general construction where seeing the head once it has been driven in is not important.
