Common nails are heavy-duty nails with a flat head and thick shank, used primarily in wood framing, carpentry, and general construction. They provide strong holding power for structural connections. Classifications are based on length (typically 1" to 6"), shank type (smooth, ring, or spiral), head type (flat or countersunk), and material (carbon steel, galvanized, or stainless steel). Common nails are typically measured in penny sizes (e.g., 8d, 10d, 16d) in construction standards.
