Before purchasing common nails, it is necessary to know that these nails are for more general applicationswhereas certain nails may have different grooves, heads, material, and finishing that should be considered for the application of the project. Typically, common nails will be fine as a standard, heavy-duty nail for structural work such as building frames for walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs.
