The point is a "wedge" that separates the wood fibers as the nail enters, making it easier to drive into the wood without tearing the wood as a flat tipped nail would.
When you use it to pull out a nail, the curved part becomes the fulcrum and the part on the back that you use to pull out the nail and the end you would use to pound the nail in are the two ends of the lever.
This wrench is specifically used to put scaffolding together. One end is pointed so it will fit easily into some parts to be used as a lever.
one end is pointed so that way it goes through the wood and the other end is flat because that way the hammer can hit it too go into the wood or what ever else your putting it into. that is why :P ~ Makayla Wright <3
If you are referring to the type of wrench that usually has an open end to tighten the bolt or nut and a point on the other end...the point is called a "drift pin" and is used to line up the hole that the bolt is going into. That style of wrench is called a "drift pin wrench".
a nail designed to penetrate concrete and hold
The lower end of a nail is made pointed to make it easier to penetrate through materials like wood. The pointed end helps to reduce resistance and make driving the nail into the material more efficient. Additionally, the pointed end helps to prevent splitting of the material as the nail is being hammered in.
The ends of nails always made pointed because it help the nail to enter an object easy and faster.
A thin pointed piece of metal is commonly referred to as a "point" or "pointed end." These can be found on various objects such as nails, needles, or awls and are typically used for piercing or puncturing materials.
the tip of a nail is kept pointed by keeping in mind the principle that pressure is inversely proportionate to the area in contact. The pointed tip covers a less area, further creating a situation of more pressure, so that we could easily pierce it through the wall.
a nail is sharp because the sharper the nail is, the thinner the tip is, which in turn can more easily get in between the molecules of the wood, so you can then push/smash your way into the wood, and as the width of the nail gets wider, it pushes apart the molecules, in turn, clearing the path for the nail to get through. PS. this is just common sense.
nail
Nails are made with pointed tips to easily penetrate materials such as wood or metal. The pointed tip allows the nail to be driven into the material with less force, making it easier and quicker to secure two pieces together. Additionally, the sharp point helps to prevent the material from splitting when the nail is being hammered in.

the anterior end of Paramecium is rounded.

If you cannot have a groomer clip your dogs nails and need to do it yourself, just take the very pointed tip off to make a blunt end.
If the bent nail is used to fix a plain wire or strand of barbed wire to a fence post, and the bent nail is pointed on both ends, then it is a staple.
