Hillman 122552 Bright Wire Nails 1 Inch 16 Gauge 6 Count

Product Description

The HILLMAN 122552 is a 1-inch, 16-gauge bright wire nail designed for carpentry and finish work where a low-profile nail head is required. The brite steel finish gives the shank a clean, smooth surface that drives easily into wood without excessive splitting. At 16 gauge, these nails strike a balance between holding strength and minimal surface disruption, making them well-suited for trim, molding, and light framing tasks. The package contains 6 nails at 2 oz net weight, sold in a plastic hang-up pack for convenient jobsite or shop storage. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers reach for this size when the fastener needs to stay out of sight.

These bright wire nails are used in residential and light commercial carpentry applications including interior trim installation, baseboards, door and window casing, and cabinet assembly. The 1-inch length and 16-gauge wire diameter make them appropriate for thin stock and finish-grade materials where a larger fastener would split the workpiece or leave an unsightly hole. They are not rated for exterior or pressure-treated lumber applications where corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• 1-inch length provides controlled penetration depth for thin trim and molding stock
• 16-gauge wire diameter balances holding power with minimal wood displacement
• Brite steel finish enables smooth, consistent driving by hand or hammer
• Low-profile nail head stays unobtrusive in finished carpentry surfaces
• Plastic hang-up packaging keeps fasteners organized and accessible on the jobsite

Compatibility

Designed for general interior carpentry fastening applications including trim, molding, casing, and light cabinet work where a small, unobtrusive nail head is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard finish hammer or nail set. Always pre-drill pilot holes when working near the end grain of hardwood to prevent splitting. Set the nail head flush or slightly below the surface with a nail punch before filling. These fasteners are intended for interior dry applications only and should not be used in exterior, wet, or pressure-treated lumber environments.
