　　1. The head should be round (this is also the common standard of all round head screws). Because of production process problems, the head of drywall nail produced by many manufacturers may not be very round, and some may even be slightly square. The problem with that is that it doesn't fit perfectly into the drywall, concentric circles, around a point, and that should make sense.

　　2. Have a sharp point, especially if you're using a light steel keel. The sharp Angle of the dry wall nail is generally required to be between 22 and 26 degrees, and the sharp Angle of the head should be full, without dragging wire and cracking phenomenon. This "point" is important for drywall nails because the use of drywall nails does not make prefabricated holes, directly screwed in, so the point also assumes the function of drilling through. Especially when used in light steel keel, the bad tip will lead to not drill in, directly affect the use of. According to the national standard, the wallboard nail should be able to drill through the 6mm iron plate in 1 second.

　　3. Don't play favorites. A simple way to determine if the drywall nail is eccentric is to place it on the table, round head down, and see if the threaded part is vertical and in the middle of the head. If the screws are eccentric, the problem is that the power tools will wobble, wobble. Shorter screws are fine, but if this happens to longer screws, it's a big problem.

　　4. The cross slot should be located in the middle of the circle head, otherwise the situation is the same as that of 3.
