What kind of nail is this?

[Kattkvinnan]

Have inherited these, along with a bunch of other useful items, from my father. What are they used for?

When you want to be able to pull them out easily.

Form nailing

Form nail. Used to put the form together and then you grab the head when the form is to be torn down.

Still in use, although screws with the same design are increasingly used.

Formspik. Slår ihop formen och sedan får man tag i skallen när formen skall rivas.

Används fortfarande även om sskruvar med samma utformning används mer och mer.

Thanks for this and other responses 🙏 Practical when we are going to pour the floor for the planting corner.

Should be supplemented with a renshammare to scrape the formwork clean for the next casting.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a picture with the rensstål in the hammer. 😃

Should be supplemented with a cleaning hammer to scrape the formwork clean for the next casting.
Unfortunately, I didn't find an image with the cleaning steel in the hammer. 😃

Whoa whoa, there were some of those among the nails and screws I was sorting the other night. Good to know what they're meant to be used for.
