ASinker Nails
Sinker nails are used for interior designing, sheathing, carpentry, construction & wood framing applications. They have a flat, tapering head which allows them to be driven flush with the surface, thereby counter-sinking into it. These checkered nails can be removed using nail kickers, nail jacks, hammer claws, pry bars, pliers, reciprocating saws and putty knives. These vinyl-coated sinkers are composed of steel alloy for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
