Nail Sizer (Penny Weight ↔ Metric)
Cross-reference standard penny (d) nail sizes with physical lengths in inches and millimeters, shank diameters, and typical shear uses.
Nail Size Search & Filter
The abbreviation 'd' stands for penny, a traditional sizing unit originating in 15th-century England, where it referred to the price in pence for one hundred hand-forged nails (e.g., 100 8d nails cost 8 pence).
As a rule of thumb, each penny step corresponds to an increase of 1/4 inch in nail length up to 10d, and larger steps thereafter.
