The nails come in different sizes, shapes, and lengths, making them perfect for a wide range of uses and simplifying the assembly process.

This is especially useful in projects where structures are assembled and disassembled frequently, such as scaffolding or temporary stages.The nails feature bulged points and uniquely designed, double thread patterns to increase the friction between them and the holes, which, in turn, provides greater holding power. This unique design makes them versatile and suitable for certain applications where temporary fastening or easy removal is desired. In another study, crews were timed for one minute to see how many screws and nails could be installed in the same amount of time. Duplex nails are used for temporary construction where nail removal is required, such as concrete forming and scaffoldings. They are often used in framing and carpentry, as well as in the construction of wooden crates and pallets.

The nail features a smooth, uncoated shank and double head to which allows the contactor to remove the nail easily (second head remains exposed). As a result, products constructed with duplex nails offer greater strength and stability than those constructed with traditional nails. Electro-galvanized (yellow) nails offer the same corrosion protection as white galvanized nails the only difference is the color. They are often used in temporary construction work, formwork, concrete pouring, and woodworking projects where the nail needs to be taken out without causing significant damage to the materials being fastened. The results showed a 47% difference, with 45 Duplex Screws drilled in versus 24 Duplex Nails hammered in.
