Toothed nail can also be referred to as serrated nail, claw nail or jagged nail. Serrated nail describes the edge of a nail that is notched, while claw nail refers to a nail designed to grip in a similar manner to a claw. Jagged nail denotes a nail with a rough, irregular edge that can be used for gripping or tearing. Regardless of the term used, toothed nails are ideal for gripping materials and securing them in place without risk of slippage. These nails are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking and construction where strong, secure fastening is essential.
