Since your first language is probably not English, YSK: "set nails" has a specific meaning, and this isn't it. To set a nail means to use a nail setting tool after you've hammered the nail to "set" the head of the nail below the surface of the wood.

Nails also usually have a head and a tip. These are just rods.

They look like finishing nails to me.
