HILLMAN WIRE NAILS - 17 GAUGE x 7/8"Hillman wire nails are smooth-shank, small-headed steel nails for fine finishing, trim, and light assembly work where a nailgun isn't appropriate -- picture frames, screen molding, drawer backs, cigar boxes, hobby and craft work. Drive flush with a finish hammer or set slightly below the surface with a nail set.

Tip: 17-gauge wire nails sit in the middle of the range -- a balance of holding power and minimal splitting for screen molding, small trim, and light panel assembly. At 7/8" it handles small molding and screen-frame corners with bite into the second piece. For exterior or damp-location work, switch to a galvanized finish nail instead -- bright nails will rust.
