What's the trick of driving nails into the wall?

Before nailing, find a piece of wood and put it between the nail and the wall. If there is no wood, you can fold the waste paper several times. The purpose of this is to prevent the nail from bending when it is driven into the wall.

If you are driving nails on the painted wall, stick adhesive tape on the wall before driving. This is to prevent the surrounding paint from shaking down when driving nails.

There's also a trick in hammering nails. At the beginning of the knock, use the flat end of the hammer, so the speed will be faster. When it comes to the wall, use the round end to prevent the hammer from leaving marks on the surface of things.

When driving a nail on a hard object, you can dip the tip of the nail with something as lubricating as soap and butter in advance. This is to save effort.

If the original nail on the wall is loose, first pull it out, then plug a small wooden stick of similar thickness into the nail hole, and then drive the nail in, so that the nail is firm.

The above is the difference between the commonly used cement nails and steel nails, as well as some tricks in daily life, hoping to bring help to you.

 

How are nails made?

With the help of the power of the machine, draw out the highly durable carbon steel wire and put it into the nail gripper dies or thread rolling dies. After continuous pulling, roll up the steel wire that has met the size, cut it with the machine into a truncated small rod, and then suck them into the designated machine with an electromagnet for nail head and tail treatment. Under the action of hydraulic pliers, the sharp tail of the nail is made, and then the other end is hammered flat with a press to press out the nail head. The nail manufacturing is completed.
