Upholstery tacks and nails have two purposes: to attach padding or material to furniture and to add decorative accents. Most are made for indoor use.
13mm Fine - More frequently used than 10mm, particularly when a more secure fixing is required. 13mm Improved - Extensively used for general upholstery work but particularly when fixing webbing to frames. 16mm Fine - Used for heavier work on finer frames.
The lightweight panel pin is perfect for fixing the back of cupboards and wardrobes. Generally used for cabinet and joinery work such as fixing skirting together. Panel pins are fine and delicate, but provide strength when in place. Casing and finishing nails are similar, differing primarily in the shapes of their heads. A panel nail has a small, slightly rounded head that is just slightly bigger than the nail shank. The head is designed to accept the pointed tip of a nail set, making it easier to countersunk the nail without slipping and gouging the wood.
A panel nail essentially is a perfect finishing nail. It is often used in exterior applications, such as for installing exterior trim boards and for nailing door frames and trim. They are commonly galvanized for corrosion resistance. The nail head of a panel nail is tapered and may be set flush or just below the wood surface
