Определение и Значение "screw-shank nail"

What is a "screw-shank nail"?

A screw-shank nail is a type of nail that has a spiral thread around its shaft, similar to a screw. This design helps the nail grip the material more securely, preventing it from loosening over time. Screw-shank nails are commonly used in wood and construction projects where extra holding power is needed, such as in flooring or framing. The threaded shaft allows for a firmer, more reliable attachment compared to standard smooth-shank nails, making them ideal for materials that may experience movement or stress.
