Description:
This pack of 18 gauge brad nails, 15 mm long, supplies a practical choice for light finishing tasks where small, discreet fastenings are needed. The slim profile and sharp chisel point make these nails suitable for trim, picture frames and delicate joinery, helping keep surfaces neat and minimising visible marks. These nails are supplied in individual plastic packaging for secure delivery and ease of storage.
Key Points
The nails are made from steel with a bright galvanised finish that resists rust and corrosion, making them a common option for interior decoration where moisture exposure is limited. The thin wire and sharp tip allow fast penetration with minimal splitting, so you can attach mouldings and upholstery fabrics while preserving the workpiece. Compatibility is broad, covering many manual, electric and pneumatic 18G brad nailers, though it is important to check your tool’s specifications before use. 😊
These brads come in a bulk quantity of 1,000 which suits repeat projects or workshop stock. The manufacturer notes that if the application involves frequent contact with water, stainless steel brad nails are recommended instead, which is worth considering for outdoor or marine environments. ⚒️

Practical Tips
For best results with trim and delicate surfaces, use a brad nailer set to the appropriate depth so the head sits slightly below the surface. Countersinking the head by a small margin will make filling and finishing simpler. When working with veneers or thin mouldings, practise on a scrap piece first to tune nail depth and air pressure for pneumatic tools. 🛠️
Consider the visual finish: galvanised nails are bright and easier to conceal under paint or filler, however they are not a substitute for stainless steel in damp conditions according to the manufacturer. Also bear in mind that very hard or knotty timbers may require pre-drilling or a slightly different fastener to avoid bending the brad during insertion.
Usage Recommendations
These brad nails suit cabinet trims, picture frame assembly, light upholstery and general interior carpentry where small, unobtrusive fixings are preferred. They are particularly useful when a neat surface is required and when nails need to be hidden under filler or paint. Ensure compatibility with your brad nailer and adjust settings for consistent drive and minimal surface damage.
