Hit it on the head to be spot on (4)

I believe the answer is:

nail

(Other definitions for nail that I've seen before include "Hammered pin" , "Metal spike with head" , "Hard plate at end of digit" , "Small metal spike" , "Hit this on the head to be absolutely right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
