box nail
Thin shank fastener
A box nail is a wire nail with a thin shank and a flat head, similar to a common nail but with a smaller diameter.
The thinner profile reduces the risk of splitting wood, making box nails well suited for light construction, crates, and boxes—hence the name.
They hold less firmly than common nails but are easier to drive near edges.
