Can you hang a 3.5 lb item on the wall with 1 nail?

YES, but NOT with any nail and this assortment are too small mostly. use a 6D or 8D or LARGER nail such as a 16D nail used all over most houses framing for structural work, Ideally you want to find a STUD behind sheetrock also. or use some sort of adhesive picture hanger, non-nail..... If you find a stud in the area you want to use and drive a 6D or higher nail, it will hold 20-40# and a 16 D about 50 or more #. For one 3.5 # painting on a wire you can also probably run a 6-16D nail into ONLY sheetrock if nail at a 45 degree angle downward to better distribute forces in the softer drywall, as opposed to finding a stud. BOTTOM line: buy some BIGGER nails 3-4 or more and then experiment: nail in where want then apply your 5-10 # force with hand and verify that 4# is no problem, then forget about it, unless in CA where earethquake forces can dictate that you really NEED to nail into studs, to get 5-10 times the holding power as in only sheetrock.....

I need 3/16" wide head (nailhead) which is 4.76 mm. Which Amazon nail product has this dimension ? Thank you !

The width of the 1-1/2" nail head is about 0.2in(5mm)，and the width of the 1-3/4" nail head is about 0.2in(5mm). We also have many other sizes. The 4" nail head is about 0.35in(9mm) wide. The 3" nail head is about 0.27in(7mm) wide. The 2-1/2" nail head is about 0.27in(7mm) wide. The 2" nail head is about 0.25in(6mm) wide. The 1-1/4" nail head is about 0.15in(3.8mm) wide. The 1" nail head is about 0.15in(3.8mm) wide. The 3/4" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide. The 5/8" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide. The 1/2" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide.

I normally buy 19 x 1/2" size wire nails from the hardware store, would the 1/2" size of these be the correct comparable?

The length measurements of these nails are accurate.

What gauge are these nails?

The diameter of 1in nail（flat head) is 1.6mm, which is about 16Ga.

Reliable, Well-Finished Nails That Exceeded My Expectations

I picked up these 3-inch nickel plated carbon steel nails for a mix of home decorating and light woodworking projects, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well they performed overall. Sometimes small hardware items don’t get much attention, but these nails turned out to be a solid, dependable addition to my toolbox. Starting with the size, the 3-inch length is extremely versatile. It’s ideal for hanging heavier décor, securing wooden pieces, and handling projects where shorter nails just wouldn’t provide enough grip. The sizing felt consistent across the pack, which made my work smoother without constantly checking or swapping nails. The Rust resistance is another strong point. The nickel plating isn’t just for looks—it adds a noticeable layer of protection. I’ve used a few of these in areas where humidity can be an issue, and so far they’ve held up well with no signs of corrosion or discoloration. That gives me confidence they’ll last over time rather than needing replacement. When it comes to value for money, this pack really delivers. Getting 60 well-made nails in one set means I don’t have to restock frequently, and the quality feels well worth it. They drive cleanly into wood without bending, which says a lot about the carbon steel construction. Overall, these nails strike a great balance between durability, practicality, and reliability. For anyone looking for sturdy, rust-resistant nails in a useful size, this set is an easy recommendation and deserves a full five stars.

Alright

Overall I'm happy with the quality but I have found quite a few random sized nails in the bag that are either longer or had a smaller sized head than the brad I ordered which was a little annoying.
