Value Collection 12CUTMAS1 Masonry Nails 12D Cut Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12CUTMAS1 is a 12D cut-shank masonry nail designed for fastening into concrete, block, and masonry substrates. At 3.25 inches overall length, this nail features a cut shank profile that increases holding power in hard, dense materials where smooth-shank fasteners tend to back out under load. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel, it delivers the hardness required to drive into masonry without bending or deforming. These nails are a standard choice for commercial and residential rough framing, furring strip attachment, and sill plate anchoring to concrete foundations.

This nail is suited for applications where wood members must be mechanically fastened directly to masonry or concrete surfaces. Typical uses include attaching pressure-treated sill plates to poured concrete, securing furring strips to block walls, and anchoring framing members in basement or below-grade construction. The 12D penny size and cut-shank geometry are particularly effective in poured concrete and concrete masonry unit installations where pull-out resistance is critical.

Key Features

• 12D penny size at 3.25 inches overall length for deep masonry penetration
• Cut shank profile for superior holding power compared to smooth-shank nails in masonry
• Grade 2 steel construction provides the hardness needed to drive into concrete and block
• Standard geometry compatible with hand-nailing into masonry substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a standard cut masonry nail for use in residential and light commercial construction applications involving concrete, concrete block, and similar masonry substrates.

Installation Notes

Masonry nails are installed by qualified carpenters, framers, and general contractors working with concrete or masonry substrates. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving cut masonry nails, as fragments can dislodge on impact. Use a hardened framing hammer and drive nails at a consistent angle perpendicular to the work surface to reduce the risk of nail breakage. Verify local building codes for fastener spacing and embedment depth requirements when anchoring structural members to masonry.
