They usually have a short shank and a large flat head and can be used for a wide variety of exterior and interior woodworking and building purposes, like furniture repair, cabinet making, fastening roof shingles, as well as box and crate construction. One common use for these nails is to fasten sheet metal to wood, for example when metal is used for siding or roofing. This type of nail is available in a range of lengths and sizes. Clout nails are an old nail type that has been used in woodworking and construction for centuries.
