Nqils Thqt Act Hke Screws

Builders, homeowners, industrial maintenance men seeking quality find the new Hillwood nails and drive screws ofrer advantages in driving-speed and holding power that cannot be matched by ordinary nails.

The big reason is that these nails act like screws, except you don't .make them enter the wood with a screw-driver-just a steady tap of a hammer.

Hillwood's Helyx drive screw, for example is a completely different type of threaded nail with the thread running from the point to head'ivith a uniform dimension throughout. It differs from conventional threaded nails which have a thread diameter larger than the shank. When these conventional nails are driven, a hole is created larger

Offers Driving Speed and Holding Power than the nail shank. 'When pounded home, the head alone is the support. A Helyx drive screw length. Hillwood's locks tightly throughout its nails and drive screws are achieving wide acceptance because of their tremendous holding power. Their continuous thread loeks into the wood fibers like a screw, first the top board, then the board beneath. Before the boards can be forced apart, it is necessary to rupture-break ofr the wood fibers before the nail can be withdrawn.

These nails are used for a wide variety of purposes. ,Squeeky hardwood floors can be made silent if the nails are used according to the manufacturer's specification. Hillwood drive screws are used to install siding, wall boards and in numerous general building and maintenance activites as well as pallet construction. They are used instead of common nails when quahW and durability and holding power are factors.
