Nails are divided into three broad categories based on their length. In general nails under 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length are called tacks or brads. Nails 1-4 inches (2.5-10.2 cm) in length are called nails, while those over 4 inches (10.2 cm) are some-times called spikes. These categories are roughly defined, and there is considerable crossover between them.

The nails consist of hard drawn bright mild steel wire with a head, which helps in drivingthe nail inside. They are made in various sizes. Wire nails are used for roofing, fastening in carpentry and woodwork, fencing, etc. With the rise in construction activities, both commercial and private, the demand for wire nails is bound to increase. Setting up a plant to make wire nails would thus meet this demand.

A wire nail having a head and a shank integral with the head, the shank being formed with a tip and having an axis, and the head having a circumferential edge defining a complete circle; characterised in that the centre of the head is radially offset from the axis of the shank.

Wire nail is very well known item, as it is very common product, which is normally used in daily life. It is used for fastening purpose. Its use is so wide spread that it has become part and parcel of the life.

Wire nails are pin-shaped, sharp objects of hard metal or alloy used as fasteners. They are typically made of steel, often dipped or coated to prevent corrosion in harsh conditions or improve adhesion. Ordinary nails for wood are usually of soft, low carbon or mild steel while those for concrete are harder. Nails are used for various purposes and industries ranging from building and construction to carpentry. There is a tremendous variety of nails, since they are used for so many different purposes.

There had been an erratic growth of the indigenous industry from past years. Since the manufacture of wire nails could be undertaken on a small scale or even on a cottage scale, there is a mushroom growth of nail making units in operation. Future of wire nails will directly depend upon building activity in country. As we know that at present country is facing acute housing problem. So, now government is much emphasising on housing development, which naturally will lead to greater demand of wire nail. Thus, as an entrepreneur this project offers an exciting opportunity to you.

Wire nail are used to join many things in industries and in other domestic items. The are made of hard carbon wire. They are headed on one end and sharp at another end. The head is used for hammering and sharp end help in penetrating into the object which is to be joined. Wire nail is one hardware that is used mainly in Building construction work, manufacturing boxes for packing etc. due to the increasing population and the necessities attached to it, they are always in demand in the market join small items

A nail consists of three parts the head, shank and the point. It is possible to manufacture nails suitable for various purposes by changing the form of each part, the diameter length, and through a combination of mechanical & chemical processes.
