Value Collection 6C5 Common Nail 6D Ring Shank 2 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6C5 is a 6D common nail designed for general fastening applications in wood framing, sheathing, and structural assembly work. Built from Grade 2 steel with a bright finish, this nail measures 2 inches in overall length and is manufactured to 12 gauge diameter. The ring shank profile increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank nails, making it well suited for applications where pull-out strength matters. The flat head provides solid surface contact for driving with a hammer or nail gun. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This nail is appropriate for residential and light commercial wood construction tasks including wall framing, subfloor installation, roof sheathing, and general carpentry. The 6D penny size and 2-inch length make it a standard choice for attaching dimensional lumber and engineered wood panels. The ring shank is particularly useful in high-humidity environments or applications prone to wood movement where additional holding power is needed over a smooth shank alternative.
