Ring shank nails can be driven by hand or with a framing hammer, and the ring profile grips the timber fibres as the nail is set, so there is no need for adhesive in most standard applications. Store unused nails in a dry location to protect the Exo Galv Plus coating until they are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between ring shank nails and smooth shank nails?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRing shank nails have a series of ridges along the shank that grip the surrounding timber fibres and significantly increase pull-out resistance compared with a plain smooth shank.
