Coil nails are a series of nails arranged in a circle connected by a piece of metal and loaded into a gun. However, the metal piece isn't the only type of collation for coil nails. More specifically, coil nails can be classified according to their types of collation, types of screw head, and types of screw shank.
Coiled nails refer to nails which are assembled together in coils by steel wires, hence the name wire collated nails. Main types include coiled smooth shank nails, coiled ring shank nails and coiled screw nails.
