There are many aspects and talents that come together to make a building project successful. From design to implementation, no part of the process is more important than another. When it comes to the grunt work, however, carpenters rely on fairly basic tools and supplies to actually complete the process. A home would not progress properly without seemingly simple supplies such as the fasteners used to connect each piece of wood. Nails, staples and pins are unobtrusive, yet extremely important parts needed to complete any building project. There are numerous types of fasteners and each is best used for different parts of the project.

After the concrete is poured on a standard home or building project, the framing team is the first carpentry crew to handle the project. Framers use some of the largest nail guns utilized in carpentry. Framing nails are fairly standard in diameter and range in length from about 2.5 inches to around 3.5 inches. Most framing nails come in lengths, with a certain number of nails connected by a plastic strip. These lengths fit perfectly into the holster of a standard nail gun. As the gun dispenses the nails, the plastic strip is easily broken, with each nail feeding perfectly through the gun's workings and into the framing material. While Sears recommends quality brands such as Craftsman framing nails, most brands are made standard, and any type will fit most nail guns.

Framing is only one part of the building process; there are several other types of fasteners that are also widely used by carpentry teams. Staple guns are almost as prevalent on job sites as nail guns, as crown staples can hold together many different aspects of a building. Staples, for example, are widely favored for securing plywood to the outside of the structure. Staples can easily penetrate both the plywood and the underlying framing, without breaking through the material and sticking out the other side. Smaller staples may also prove useful for some finishing tasks.

While some fasteners need to be heavy-duty and optimized for strength, other types of nails, staples and pins are designed to get the job done while still being unobtrusive. Finishing is a delicate task in a home, with moldings, crowns and trim needing a secure hold on the building, while not creating an unsightly look. For these special jobs, fasteners like finish nails and brads are necessary. Finish nails have almost no nail head and a very small diameter. This allows a finish nail gun to sink the nail into trim without drawing attention to the method of attachment. Like framing nails, finish nails and brads come in connected strips to easily feed through a nail gun.
