This was exactly the topic I came here to talk about. These nails were primarily used in Australia till the 60's and then abruptly switched (for whatever reason). I can't tell if the study of the price of nails accurately compares the same nail type.

Awesome vid, the visuals of driving in the nail to softwood are especially helpful. Had no idea cut nails were tested to grip about 1.5x better than wire nails, I thought they were mainly just about aesthetics

That's some great information, thank you. I always assumed wire nails were better because they are more pointy and more modern.

We still use cut nails in Norway.
