What are Brad Nails? Brad nails are thin fasteners commonly used for indoor projects like applying trim, paneling and moulding. Also called brads, they have a small diameter with a smaller head than other nail types.
I. Basic Definition
Brad Nail is a row of thin, miniature, round-headed straight nails. The mainstream specification is 18GA (18 gauge wire), corresponding to the F series straight nails (F10/F15/F20/F25/F30/F38/F50) in China.
II. Core Features
✅ Thin nail shank and tiny nail head, resulting in a very small nail hole after driving into the wood, making it easy to fill with putty and creating a beautiful finish;
✅ Less prone to tearing thin wood, veneer, and solid wood trim;
