Product Overview:
These 30mm oval lost head nails from ForgeFix offer professional-grade quality for your joinery projects. Their thoughtfully designed oval shape works with your timber's natural grain, significantly reducing the risk of splitting—particularly valuable when working with harder or more brittle woods.
What sets these nails apart is their lost head design. Once you punch the nail below the timber surface, the head practically vanishes, leaving you with a clean, professional finish that's perfect for visible joinery work.
Key Features:
- Intelligent Design: The oval shape aligns perfectly with wood grain patterns, minimising the risk of timber splitting during installation
- Professional Finish: The lost head design allows the nail to sit discretely below the surface, ideal for visible joinery work

- Perfect Size: 30mm length suits a wide range of joinery applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
- What makes these nails different from standard round-head nails?
The oval shape and lost head design offer superior splitting resistance and allow for a nearly invisible finish when properly countersunk. - How many nails are approximately in a 500g bag?
The exact count varies slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but you can expect approximately 350-400 nails per 500g bag. - Can these nails be used in outdoor applications?
These bright finish nails are primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, choose galvanised or stainless steel alternatives. - Will these nails work with a nail gun?
No, these nails are designed for manual hammering. For nail gun applications, you'll need specific collated nails. - What's the best way to achieve an invisible finish?
After hammering the nail most of the way in, use a nail punch to drive it slightly below the surface. You can then fill it over for a completely smooth finish. - Are these nails suitable for softwoods and hardwoods?
Yes, they work well with both types of wood. However, pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting.
