Hit that nail! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clout

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hit' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'that nail' is the second definition.
(clout nail is a kind of nail)

(Other definitions for clout that I've seen before include "Political influence - flat-headed nail" , "Influence; heavy blow" , "authority" , "Cast not one before May is out" , "Punch; influence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
