Drywall Nails are specialized nails designed for securing drywall (sheetrock) to wooden studs. While drywall screws are more commonly used today, drywall nails are still used in certain applications, especially for quick installations or repairs.

Drywall Nail Features:

• Ring or Barbed Shank: Provides better grip and prevents loosening over time.
• Large, Flat Head: Helps hold the drywall securely and prevents it from pulling through.
• Smooth or Cement-Coated Finish: Some nails have a coating to improve adhesion and holding power.
• Electro-Galvanized Coating: Protects against rust and corrosion.

Drywall Nail Types:

• Ring-Shank Drywall Nails – Offer better holding power and are less likely to loosen.
• Smooth-Shank Drywall Nails – Easier to drive in but may not hold as well.
• Cement-Coated Drywall Nails – Coated for better grip in wood.

Drywall Nail Uses:

• Attaching drywall to wooden studs (primarily in older construction methods).
• Quick drywall repairs.
• Situations where screws are not practical.
