Of the various kinds of nails commonly used in wood-working, the cut clasp (Fig. 451), machine-made from a sheet of iron, must rank first. These nails, if of a good brand, may be used for almost any purpose; being cut clean by the machine, they are not liable to split the work. The head is not very large, and when the nail has been inserted, should be punched just below the surface of the wood. Cut clasp nails are typical of many old-fashioned nails, which are, however, gradually being displaced by the newer serrated steel brads. A good nail of the same class is made from steel, very tough, and therefore useful for many purposes, the increase in cost being very small. Cut clasp nails may be had of almost any size, from 3/4 in. to 6 in. in length.
