Clout nails are short, thick nails with a large, flat head made by passing a bundle of wire through the specialised machine which then perfectly cuts and shapes the wire into required nail size. It is available in 1.5inch size and 3.50mm thickness.

Minimal wastage occurs as 2 tonne nails are produced in a 2 tonne wire bundle with efficiency as the machine can produce 800 pieces/ minute. The nails are then packaged into 50kg sacks and often used on ceilings and roofs.
