Decided to make my own nail header and did my first ever twist for the handle using two crescent wrenches and the hardie hole. 🙂 Flattened the twist on the sides for more comfortable grip. Used a punch for the 1/4" hole and then drill press for the 3/16" and 1/8" holes tapered out on the bottom with a drift I made earlier. Made from a RR spike.
