Scope note
Long, sharp-pointed pieces of metal or other hard material, usually non-circular in cross-section, used for fastening things securely together. In the building and railroad industries, spikes have a head, for impact insertion. For similar fasteners, but smaller and round in cross-section, use "nails (fasteners)."
