wire nail
Cylindrical steel fastener
A wire nail is the most common type of nail, made by cutting and pointing a piece of wire rather than forging from a rod.
Wire nails are inexpensive to manufacture and come in countless sizes for general construction, framing, and finishing work.
They largely replaced cut nails in the late 19th century.
