Nails are somewhat reversible fasteners for wood and soft walls. In many situations, one would rather use screws which offer a tighter connection to the workpiece but nails have their advantages, too. Besides coming at a much lower cost (10-20 %) the prize of a similarly sized screw), they should be used whenever you want to attach textiles to wood as screws tend to get caught in the fibers and cause rips (staples are fine as well).
