A ring shank nail has a series of circular threads which are used to create a secure grip. The rings sit within wood fibres, providing resistance which means that the ring shank nail is less easily pulled out of the material. This makes ring shank nails twice as resistant to being pulled out compared with smooth shank nails. A ring shank nail should be used on softwood that isn’t known to split, and should not be used on hardwood as it will damage the material if and when the ring shank nail is removed.

So each individual type works best when used with a specific type of roofing material. This means it is important to ensure you have the correct roofing nails for your latest roofing project.
