18 Gauge Brad Nails

Brad nails are formed from a fine, 18-gauge wire, so they are smaller in diameter than finish nails and typically have less holding strength. They're better suited for tasks like light decorative trim and molding, panel installation and crafts. Their size also helps prevent surface splitting, which can occur if the fastener is too large for the material it's being driven into.
One of the benefits to an 18-gauge brad is its size. Thanks to a smaller head and diameter, brad nails are easier to conceal in small pieces of wood trim. With a smaller head size, it's possible that the insertion point may not even need to be concealed with wood putty. In other words, 18-gauge brad nails provide a cleaner look than a finish nail without extra touch-up involved.

15 Gauge DA Finish Nails

Finish nails are made from heavier 15-gauge wire, which means they can handle a greater payload. For larger trim, such as baseboards or crown molding, a finish nail is more suitable. A finish nail offers increased support and withdrawal resistance versus the brad nail, making it the better choice when installing larger trim and woodwork.
Because it leaves a more visible hole in the surface, a fully driven finish nail almost always requires followup attention—which includes being puttied over to conceal the "shiner" (the exposed insertion point of a nail).

Brad Nails

What is a Brad Nail?

 
Brad nails, or brads, are made of 18-gauge steel wire. Nail gauge sizes indicate the thickness of the nail. Thinner nails have higher gauge numbers. The small diameter of brad nails makes them easy to mask in wood trim or paneling. In addition to being thinner than standard nails, they also feature a smaller head.

The slender profile of brad nails helps to prevent splitting on delicate material. Their subtle appearance often makes for a clean finish in various woodworking projects.

Because brad nails themselves are thin, they work best in thinner cuts of lumber, including fiberboard and plywood. The small diameter of brads means that your moulding and trim work will show less of a hole and might not need wood filler before painting.
 
  • Brads are thin, 18-gauge nails made for more delicate woodworking jobs.
  • They’re available in collated strips for nail guns or individual pieces.
  • Brad nail length ranges from 1/2-inch to 2 1/2-inch.
  • Their slim profile reduces wood splitting.
  • They leave small holes that often don’t need to be filled.
 

What are Finish Nails?

 
Finish nails, or finishing nails, are generally made of 15- or 16-gauge steel wire, making them slightly thicker in diameter than brad nails. The added thickness means that finishing nails create a stronger hold than brads. This makes them useful for heftier applications with thicker material, such as cabinets or baseboards.

The greater diameter of finish nails leaves a wider hole after fastening a piece of wood. For this reason, you’ll need to follow up with a filler to conceal the spots and tidy your handiwork.

Because they are thicker than brad nails, finish nails are more likely to split thin or delicate pieces of wood trim.
 
  • Finish nails are versatile nails with a 15- or 16-gauge diameter.
  • They’re designed for thicker cuts of wood.
  • They’re available in collated finishing nail strips for nail guns or individual pieces.
  • Finish nail length ranges from 1-inch to 3 1/2-inch.
  • Their heavier gauge brings greater holding strength to projects.
 

Brad Nails Vs. Finish Nails


The size of a brad is around 1.25 millimeters, just a bit bigger than the lead for a mechanical pencil. A finish nail is about 50% larger than a brad. The larger size increases the holding strength of a finish nail. This makes it ideal for applications that require strong joints. However, the size of a finish nail can also lead to workpiece damage when softer woods, such as pine, are used.

Every brad nailer is designed to run 18 gauge fine wire brad nails. These tools are typically air powered and require an air compressor, to power a piston, to eject the brads into the workpiece. Because the brads have such a small diameter, they are nearly invisible when used.

Finish nails are used for heavier trims, harder woods, and pieces that require more strength than a brad can offer. They run at 15 or 16 gauge, which is a bit larger than brad nails. While the added strength these fasteners provide is a plus, there is a downside. In some applications, the larger finish nails can actually damage a workpiece because of its size.
 
When it comes to choosing brad nails vs. finish nails, it depends on your project and the type of wood you’re using. In general, go with finish nails for thick wood and brads for thin wood. Finish nails are stronger than brads, so choose them if your project needs to be durable.

Common brad nail uses include decorative trim, picture frame and paneling. They work well on birdhouses and other thin cuts of wood. Brads are excellent for trim work, including narrow trim around windows or doors, shoe moulding and quarter-round moulding.

Finish nails are used for interior and exterior trim, window and door casing and chair rails. They’re ideal to fasten baseboards and crown moulding too. You’ll also find finish nails on stair treads and risers, as well as part of general light carpentry and cabinets.

  • What is a finish nail?

    Finish nails act as the fasteners while offering a decorative effect. According to their functions and distinctive appearance, people gave these nails many aliases such as lost-head nails, brad nails, headless nails, furniture nails and bullet nails. The upholstery finishing nails are made of tough & slender steel wires. The finished product has a small globular head that is only slightly larger than the shank. When driven into the wood, it is slightly beneath the surface, then covered with putty or other paint you like. Therefore, finishing nails are visually unappealing in interior decorations, furniture making and other finish works where modification surface is needed.

  • Do brad nails hold?

    They vary in length from ½ to 2½ inches. By comparison, a 16-gauge finish nail is 0.0625-inch thick. While the difference doesn't seem like very much, the shorter length is a good indicator that a brad nail won't hold material of the same maximum thickness as finish nails.

  • What is brad nails used for?

    Brad nailers are used for on wood where splitting might be an issue or where you would want a thinner nail for less of a hole. They have many uses but they are most commonly used for:

    1.Trim work

    2.Paneling

    3.Fastening decorative molding

    4.Casing

    5.Baseboard
