Kilens

Kilens are a type of tool used for fastening and joining materials. They typically consist of a metal pin with a head on one end and a sharp point on the other. The main purpose of a klen is to penetrate two or more objects and hold them together. This is often achieved by hammering the head of the klen, driving the pointed end through the materials. Once inserted, the klen's body provides a secure grip, preventing the joined items from separating.

There are various types of kilens, each designed for specific applications. Some are designed for woodworking, where they might be used to join pieces of lumber. Others are used in construction, for fastening building materials. In upholstery, kilens can be used to attach fabric to furniture frames. The size, shape, and material of a klen can vary depending on the strength and durability required for its intended use. For instance, larger, thicker kilens are generally used for heavier-duty applications, while smaller, finer ones are suited for more delicate tasks. The effectiveness of a klen relies on its ability to penetrate the material without causing undue damage and to maintain a firm hold once in place.
