Q: My last trip to the hardware store left me confused. Ijust wanted a box of nails. But the shelves were filled with all variety of nails with anynumber of names: Common, Box, Cooler, Ring Shank, Cement Coated, Drywall, etc. Why so manynames? Isn't a nail a nail?
A: Giving special names to particular sizes and styles ofnails was a convenience for the trades. It was meant to assist them in obtaining theproper nails for their particular work. And for some trades, the names of the nails haveoutlasted their uses. This is where the typical project can run into difficulty.
Review command 1 51. Engineers and Architects generally specify 'common' nailson their project plans. We do this because the allowable strengths of wood-to-woodconnections and plywood diaphragms given in the building code are based on the use ofcommon nails. A typical notation would look like: '10d's at 12' o.c.'..which would indicate the need for 'ten pennyweight (common) nails spaced at twelveinches on center'. A 'pennyweight' is a reference to the cost of 1000 ofthese nails in old British currency. Standing in the store, you observed several boxeswith a '10d' designation on them followed by one or more words. They are not allequivalent.
A nail's strength is based on its length and its diameter. Given theproper length, the nail will be driven far enough into the supporting member that it willbe capable of developing its maximum allowable lateral strength. The strength of aproperly placed nail is also dependent on its diameter as this affects the quantity ofwood fibers that can bear against its surface. The 'wider' the nail (greaterdiameter), the more wood fibers can bear, the stronger the connection. The following is atable of various nails, their lengths and diameters.
Box | Length | Diam. | Common | Length | Diam. | Cooler | Length | Diam. | Gypboard | Length | Diam. |
2d | 1 | 0.067 | 2d | 2d | 1 | 0.062 | 2d | ||||

9d | 2.75 | 0.113 | 9d | 9d | 2.625 | 0.113 | 9d | ||||
10d | 3 | 0.128 | 10d | 3 | 0.148 | 10d | 2.875 | 0.120 | 10d | ||
12d | 3.25 | 0.128 | 12d | 3.25 | 0.148 | 12d | 12d | ||||
16d | 3.5 | 0.135 | 16d | 3.5 | 0.162 | 16d | 16d | ||||
20d | 4 | 0.148 | 20d | 4 | 0.192 | 20d | 20d |
For comparison purposes, we will imagine the nailing requirements ofa typical plywood shear wall where the notes called for '10d's at 6' o.c.'.An error begins when the contractor misses the sentence in the general notes calling for'Common' nails and picks up the first box of nails labelled '10d' orreceives a fifty pound box of 10d nails from his supplier with the framing lumber and asksno further questions. If those 10d's were actually 'Box' nails, what would thisdo to the strength of the finished construction?
- Assuming Douglas Fir, Larch or Southern Pine Framing Lumber..
- 10d Box nails = 0.128' diameter worth 76 pounds per Code.
- 10d Common nails = 0.148' diameter worth 94 pounds per Code.
- The wall nailed with box nails would only be 80% as strong as the wall called for on the project plans.
Not encouraging, is it? The same decrease in strength holds true forfloor and roof diaphragms, plate laps, toenails, etc. if nailed with the smaller diameterversion of a 'd' (pennyweight) designation nail.

What you can do:
1. It's a simple task to visit the job site and pick upsamples of the nails your contractor is using. Measure their diameters. Compare what youare getting with the tables above and with the project plans. Bring any discrepancies tothe attention of your design professional and to the contractor. Stand firm, do notbe bluffed or dismissed. Expect to receive either documentation stating that theconnection(s) will function adequately using the smaller nails or expect thecorrections to be documented and installed at no additional cost to you.

2. Have the professional you are working with emphasize theneed for common nails with a separate note on the framing plan(s). A sentence or two of highlightedor bold text should do.

Launchy is a simple tool with which you can open any app just by typing its name. A drop-down list will remind you of the names of all the programs that begin with or contain the chain of text you type in.
Launchy allows you to start not just apps like Word or Media Player but also elements like the Control Panel, Power Options, and Display Settings. The program stays hidden until you call it forward using the keyboard shortcut Alt Space.
If you don't like its look you can customize it with a dozen skins that it includes by default. From the developer's website you can also download several more.
