Hillman Fasteners 461499 Bright Box Nail 3 Inches 10D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461499 is a 3-inch, 10-penny (10D) bright box nail sold in a 1-pound box. Box nails feature a thinner shank than common nails, reducing the risk of splitting when fastening boards and sheathing. The bright finish means no coating, making these nails well suited for dry interior applications. General contractors, framers, and carpenters reach for 10D box nails when working with lighter framing members, wood sheathing, and trim assemblies where a slimmer shank profile is required to protect the workpiece.

These nails are used in residential and light commercial construction for tasks such as attaching wall sheathing, subfloor components, and general wood-to-wood fastening. The 3-inch length provides adequate penetration for single-layer sheathing over framing or for face-nailing dimensional lumber. They are driven by hand with a framing hammer or a pneumatic nailer that accepts smooth-shank loose nails of the appropriate gauge. The bright finish is intended for interior or protected applications where moisture exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• 3-inch length with 10D penny designation for versatile framing and sheathing tasks
• Thin box-nail shank profile reduces wood splitting compared to common nails of the same length
• Bright finish provides a clean surface free of coatings for dry interior use
• Sold by the pound for easy job-site quantity management
• 12 units per package for bulk stocking at supply houses and job-site trailers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10D bright box nail suitable for general wood framing, sheathing, and carpentry applications where a thin-shank, uncoated nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors following applicable building codes. No power shutoff is required, but eye protection should be worn when driving nails by hand or pneumatic tool. Verify that the bright uncoated finish is appropriate for the application, as bright nails are not recommended for exterior or high-moisture environments where a galvanized or coated fastener would be required. Follow local building code requirements for nail spacing and penetration depth on structural sheathing assemblies.
