You may recognize the above hardware as a just a simple nail. No big deal. But these particular nails are hardened steel and have a particular purpose that some consider outdated. These nails serve the purpose of fastening mortar and securing masonry. Tougher than most other nails, they can effectively dig into harder materials, and have a reputation for their strong hold and minimal cracking. Using a different type of nail would cause wood to splinter or the nail itself to break under pressure. The primary use of hard cut masonry nails is to fasten, penetrate, secure, and protect the integrity of all things masonry.
