Often when you’re driving finishing nails into moldings, the nail will split the wood unless you drill a pilot hole first.
But tiny drill bits have a habit of breaking after a few uses. So rather than using a drill bit, drill the perfect-sized pilot hole using a finishing nail.
Clip the head off the nail with wire cutters, then chuck the headless nail into a drill. Bore the hole, then drive in a nail.
