The idea being that instead of the nail parting the grain and therefore only contacting on each side of the nail, the predrilled hole causes it to snug all round the nail and really grip. It does seem to test out when you try it and try to pull the nail. Kind of hard work though!

I inherited a toolbox when I bought my condo from an old friend who's a geek (computers). I'm a geek too (books & computers) and had no idea until now that I've been using finish nails from friend's toolbox to hang small pictures around the house for years. I always thought "huh, funny nails to hang pictures, but they're here and they're the right size." NOW I now I've got exactly the finish nails I need to fix that little bit of baseboard trim that's come loose and has been bugging me for months! Thanks. Don't stop blogging! Heather Hi RemodGeek,
