A clout nail is used primarily in roofing and siding applications due to its wide, flat head, which helps secure materials like shingles or sheathing while providing a better grip against the surface. Its design allows for easier installation and reduces the risk of tearing through the material. Additionally, clout nails are often galvanized or coated to resist corrosion, enhancing the durability of the installation.

A clout nail is a type of fastener, typically featuring a large, flat head and a relatively short shank. It is primarily used in roofing and siding applications to secure materials like shingles, tar paper, or lightweight boards. The broad head helps distribute the load over a wider area, reducing the risk of tearing through the material. Clout nails are often galvanized or coated to resist rust and corrosion.
I can't find the word "Clount" in my dictionary. Do you mean "clout" as in: The man gave the boy a clout for being cheeky!

Shakespeare uses this word twice, as follows: "I thought he slept, and put My clouted brogues from off my feet, whose rudeness Answer'd my steps too loud." (Cymbeline, 4,2) "Spare none but such as go in clouted shoon; For they are thrifty honest men, and such As would, but that they dare not, take our parts" (2 Henry VI, 4,2) In both of these quotations he uses the word about shoes or boots which are noisy or hard-wearing; a working-man's boots. It is therefore unlikely to be related to the noun "clout" which means a cloth: "About her head a clout where late the diadem stood" (Hamlet), "Romeo's a dish-clout compared to him" (Romeo and Juliet), "I' the clout! I' the clout!" (King Lear--Lear is talking about the custom of using a flag or cloth as an archery target.) More likely it is related to the modern term a "clout-nail", a short, flat-headed nail now used for attaching metal to wood (as in tin roofing, for example, and so often called a roofing nail). Similar nails were used by cobblers to attach soles to shoes, and are better known as "hobnails" So, "clouted brogues" are basically "hobnailed boots".
