Nail him! (4)

I believe the answer is:

brad

This clue is a double definition.

'nail' is the first definition.
(a brad is a nail with rectangular cross-section)

'him' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for brad that I've seen before include "Fixer" , "Small tapered nail" , "One to get hammered" , "Small tapering nail" , "It has a point" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
