What is an alternative name for a finishing nail?

A finishing nail is commonly referred to as a trim nail. This type of nail is specifically designed for attaching trim, molding, and other delicate finishes without creating large holes that would be difficult to fill. Finishing nails are typically smaller in diameter and have a smaller head, which allows them to be driven into wood and concealed easily, providing a smooth, polished appearance to the finished work. This name highlights their primary purpose in carpentry, which is to add finishing touches to woodworking projects. The other terms pertain to different types of nails used for various construction purposes, such as framing or heavy-duty applications, and do not have the same aesthetic focus as finishing nails do.
