Whew!

You freaked me out, but I checked and they did not stop making these, my local
Borgs stock them, they're called duplex nails. I don't know what people use them
for now, obviously not scaffolding, but concrete forms is what I remember them
from. Now I need to buy some to trick my kids.

Best,
Max in Austin

Must have strayed during the last move. It may still turn up. I’m saving it for
tricking my grandchildren.
