Cooler nails were designed for use in building pallets and crates for the storage and transport of food and vegetables. Their name reflects their use in building "coolers" for refrigerated and frozen produce. A cooler nail is similar in profile to a common nail, but has a thinner shank and slightly tapered head to prevent splitting the thin pieces of wood used to construct crates. They work well for the application of gypsum board because the thin shank-often 20 to 25 percent thinner than that of a similar length common nail-creates a significant surface area to the underside of the nail head. In fire rated systems, it is the surface area of the underside of the head that is important in terms of a fastener's ability to support the gypsum board. The thick head of a common nail can also tear the face paper of a board, whereas the tapered head of a cooler or drywall nail will set below the surface of the paper without tearing it.
Cooler nails are available and can be purchased online in bulk quantities. However, it is hard to find them in the standard 4d (1⅜-inch) and 6d (1⅞-inch) lengths most often used for gypsum board attachment-readily available cooler nails tend to be at least a 7d (2⅛-inch) minimum length-and they aren't always stocked by big-box retailers or drywall yards.

If you get dry wall wet is it dry wall or wet wall?
The old labor intensive way of putting up walls had wet plaster attached to and around slats of wood (called lathing) where it dried into a wall. The current technology uses large panels made of dry plaster like material called Dry Wall attached to wall studs by nail, screw or glue. Another name for Dry Wall is SheetRock. It should be kept dry. Once it gets wet, it loses its integrity and it is no longer viable. It is no longer Dry Wall or Wet Wall but it is Garbage. Dry wall would technically be wet wall anyways considering how you need liquid to be able to make it. BTW, I am an 8th grader from 2017-2018 and will be in high school from2018-2019.
