Hillman Fasteners 122612 Aluminum Cut Tacks Size 6

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122612 is a size 6 aluminum cut tack measuring 1/2 inch in length and sold in a 0.5 oz package. Cut tacks are flat-headed, sharp-pointed fasteners used to secure lightweight materials to wood substrates. The aluminum construction resists corrosion, making these tacks suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern. Installers in flooring, upholstery, carpet installation, and light construction trades use cut tacks for tacking down underlayments, fabric, webbing, or trim pieces where a small, low-profile fastener is required.

These size 6 aluminum cut tacks are suited for residential and light commercial applications. Typical use cases include securing carpet tack strips, attaching fabric to wood frames, and fastening lightweight sheet materials. The 1/2 inch length provides enough penetration into soft wood substrates without over-driving. The package contains a measured 0.5 oz quantity, appropriate for small repair jobs or targeted fastening tasks.

Installation Notes

Cut tacks are typically driven by hand using a tack hammer or upholstery mallet. Ensure the substrate is clean and free of obstructions before driving. Use appropriate eye protection when driving tacks manually. Do not use power nailers or pneumatic tools with loose cut tacks.
