Fixman Oval Lost Head Nails 100mm 1kg – Key FAQs

• What are oval lost head nails used for?
  They’re used where you want a strong fixing that can be punched below the surface and filled, making them ideal for architrave, trims, skirting and other visible joinery.

• Why are they called “oval” nails?
  The shank and head have an oval profile. When driven with the oval aligned to the grain, this helps reduce the risk of splitting the timber compared with round wire nails.

• Can these nails be hidden easily?
  Yes. The small lost head is designed to be punched slightly below the timber surface and then filled or sanded over for a smooth, low-visibility finish.

• Are they suitable for both DIY and trade use?
  Absolutely. The 1kg bag is ideal for regular use on site or for DIY projects where a professional-looking finish is required.
