Hillman copper cut tacks are short fasteners with a relatively large head and sharp point, designed for light fastening jobs in upholstery, carpet, trim work, and craft applications. The 3/4-inch length and 14 gauge provide a balance between holding strength and a discreet profile, making them ideal for attaching decorative elements, picture frames, molding, and cabinetry without visible bulk. These tacks are a favorite among crafters, woodworkers, upholsterers, and carpet installers who need reliable fastening with corrosion-resistant performance.
Copper construction ensures these tacks resist rust and corrosion, delivering long-term durability in humid environments and outdoor projects. The sharp, self-drilling point penetrates wood, plaster, and thin metal with minimal effort, reducing the need for pre-drilling. Each 1/2-ounce package provides a convenient supply for small to medium jobs while keeping your toolbox organized.
