Looking for nails

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I am looking for a new type of nail. It was mentioned in Popular Science a couple of years ago.

The nail had a star shaped cross section and barbs. It used less steel, less likely to split and the barbs improved holding power.

If anyone has information on these nails, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Rick Keith
