Hillman Fasteners 122610 Aluminum Cut Tacks 3/8 in Size 3

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122610 is a size 3 aluminum cut tack sold in a 0.5 oz package. Cut tacks are short, flat-headed fasteners driven by hand or hammer to secure light materials such as fabric, screening, insulation backing, and upholstery to wood substrates. The aluminum construction resists corrosion, making these tacks suitable for both interior and exterior light-duty fastening tasks. At 3/8 inches in length, they penetrate shallow surfaces without splitting thin stock. Each package contains a measured 0.5 oz quantity, and the product ships in units of six packages per order.

These cut tacks are used across a range of trade and light construction applications wherever a small, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Common uses include securing screen mesh, attaching vapor barriers or felt underlayment, tacking insulation facing, and general upholstery work. The aluminum material makes them appropriate for damp or humid environments where steel fasteners might corrode and stain surrounding materials. They are typically installed by hand finishers, upholstery technicians, carpenters, and general contractors handling light finish work.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction resists corrosion in humid or damp conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cut tack for use in standard hand-fastening applications involving wood substrates and light sheet materials such as fabric, screen, or felt.

Installation Notes

Cut tacks are installed by hand placement followed by light hammer strikes. No power tools are required or recommended for tacks of this size. Ensure the substrate is stable and adequately supported before driving. When used near finished surfaces, use a tack setter or nail set to seat the head flush without marring surrounding material.
