Description
Duplex Double Head Nails are specialized fasteners designed primarily for temporary construction applications, such as scaffolding planks, formwork (shuttering), and bracing. As the name suggests, these nails feature two heads. The first head secures the nail into the wood, while the second head remains exposed above the surface. This unique design allows for easy removal once the job is done—simply strike the nail from the side to pivot it, then pull it out with a hammer. Our duplex nails are manufactured from high-quality carbon steel with a smooth shank or ring shank, ensuring both strong holding power during use and effortless extraction afterward, saving time and money on material costs.
