Just received my canvas wall art, and it came with the following parts:
I have never in my life seen that kind of wall hanging kit. What are those nails?
- They seem unnecessarily thick…
- What are those plastic gears on them for?
Ironically enough, the instructions that came with this, say to use the 3-pin hanger – clearly not what was provided in the package… But since that's what it came with, I figured I might as well use it.
My only question is… how? Do I screw the sawtooth thingy to the frame, hammer the nail into the wall at an angle (including the weird plastic gear around it), and then hang the canvas on the… gear??
Any advice is appreciated!

Stick to the screws, and buy something appropriate to your wall-type at the hardware store to hang from.
The serrated bits are a form of picture hanger that normally mounts on the wooden frame (top center, usually just one, the serrations allow you to move it on a nail or screw until it hangs straight. If you use more than one, you have to get the things in the wall exactly right for the art to hang straight, as then there's no adjusting that way.)
