I have a bunch of them. With fender washers, they make great temporary stakes for tents, tarps, etc.

Old school lumber yards still have them around here...as well as hangars for rough sawn lumber....

How'd you hurt your hand?

I beat a bunch of those into logs. Before we were done, my right arm was noticeably bigger than the left. Worse was pulling one...it was like they were hot dipped with teeth.

Never seen them hot galvanized but used plenty of them in log construction. Most recently they're used to hold plastic paver edges.
