Nail Clout 50g Ruwag Group

Ruwag Clout Nails (50g pack) are specialized fasteners characterized by their short length and disproportionately large, flat heads. In the South African DIY and construction market, Ruwag is a leading brand known for reliable hardware essentials.

The 50g pack is a “handy pack” size, perfect for small household repairs or craft projects where you only need a few dozen nails rather than a full kilogram.

1. Key Features

• Large Flat Head: The wide head provides a greater surface area to hold down thin materials without them tearing or pulling through (a common issue with standard wire nails).
• Shank Design: Usually features a smooth or slightly barbed shank for a secure grip in wood.
• Material: Typically made from galvanized steel to prevent rusting, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Handy Pack: The 50g pouch is resealable or compact, keeping your toolbox organized.

2. Common Applications

• Roofing Felt: Securing bitumen or felt to wooden shed roofs.
• Fencing: Tacking wire mesh or “chicken wire” to wooden fence posts.
• Upholstery & Furniture: Fastening backing boards to the rear of cupboards or securing heavy fabric.
• Signage: Naming plates or thin plastic signs onto wooden surfaces.
• Plasterboard: Sometimes used for securing corner beads or thin lath.
