Can you hang a 3.5 lb item on the wall with 1 nail?

YES, but NOT with any nail and this assortment are too small mostly. use a 6D or 8D or LARGER nail such as a 16D nail used all over most houses framing for structural work, Ideally you want to find a STUD behind sheetrock also. or use some sort of adhesive picture hanger, non-nail..... If you find a stud in the area you want to use and drive a 6D or higher nail, it will hold 20-40# and a 16 D about 50 or more #. For one 3.5 # painting on a wire you can also probably run a 6-16D nail into ONLY sheetrock if nail at a 45 degree angle downward to better distribute forces in the softer drywall, as opposed to finding a stud. BOTTOM line: buy some BIGGER nails 3-4 or more and then experiment: nail in where want then apply your 5-10 # force with hand and verify that 4# is no problem, then forget about it, unless in CA where earethquake forces can dictate that you really NEED to nail into studs, to get 5-10 times the holding power as in only sheetrock.....

I need 3/16" wide head (nailhead) which is 4.76 mm. Which Amazon nail product has this dimension ? Thank you !

The width of the 1-1/2" nail head is about 0.2in(5mm)，and the width of the 1-3/4" nail head is about 0.2in(5mm). We also have many other sizes. The 4" nail head is about 0.35in(9mm) wide. The 3" nail head is about 0.27in(7mm) wide. The 2-1/2" nail head is about 0.27in(7mm) wide. The 2" nail head is about 0.25in(6mm) wide. The 1-1/4" nail head is about 0.15in(3.8mm) wide. The 1" nail head is about 0.15in(3.8mm) wide. The 3/4" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide. The 5/8" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide. The 1/2" nail head is about 0.12in(3mm) wide.

I normally buy 19 x 1/2" size wire nails from the hardware store, would the 1/2" size of these be the correct comparable?

The length measurements of these nails are accurate.

What gauge are these nails?

The diameter of 1in nail（flat head) is 1.6mm, which is about 16Ga.
