Product Information

In relation to the projects each works best for- and this is what most of you want to know- the general rule is: If you want to do a roofing project related to woodwork, you must use a roofing nailer. A roofing nail gun uses 3 kinds of the nail to nail down asphalt shingles of roofs. 10, 11, or 12 Gauge Brads are made up of a fine 18-or 21 gauge wire. Lesser in diameter than what is known as a finish nail and characteristically has less holding strength. Brad Nail - Nail Head: Gauge BradsStepping up the next rung up the ladder, we have the very popular 18 Gauge Brad (1.25mm in diameter) finished with a head. These are found in most joinery workshops and are used in moulding, decorative trim, furniture manufacturing, window beading and much more. Available on our range in 18 Gauge Galvanised Finish Nails and 18 Gauge Stainless SteelBrads. Among the nail guns, a brad nail gun is one of the most versatile nail guns. It is a beginner-friendly nailer. Because it is not heavy like other nail guns and also does accurate nailing.

There is an improved visibility feature in this model that allows for integrated safeties that help you to see where you are driving your nail. gauge nailers shoot nails that are a little thinner than the 15 gauge and have a smaller head. Depending on the brand, these shoot nails from 3/4″ to 2-1/2″ inches long. They have good holding power and are a good general use gun. Nails aren’t the best way to secure PVC trim, but they can be used. Use a finishing nail gun with 15-gauge nails.

What is a 15 gauge nail diameter? Recap

EXHAUST PORT: 360 degree, fully adjustable exhaust port directs air exhaust away from the user during use A: No, the longest brad nails are about 1½- inch long while the lowest a finish nailer can accommodate is 11/4 – inch long nails. I’d now like to take you into the fascinating world of ……wait for it………Brads! (and Pins!!) Yes, you can’t believe it can you? You’ve waited all this time and, finally, it’s what you’ve been searching for your whole life, your Holy Grail is here right at your fingertips……….No? Seriously though, there is a lot of confusion around size and gauge of brads and pins and even the regular user of nailing tools still have confusion around nail gauges. So why don’t we take the lid off and give a little clarity to the murky world of brad nails?! Finishes: It is worth reminding you that most frames come in 2x dimensions (there are 1 ½x dimension frames but that is only in a few cases).

For load-bearing furniture like sofa sets and other chairs, you may still want to use 15 gauge nails as the sofa/chair will withstand the weight of whoever sits there. DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: Tool-free depth of drive adjustment helps to provide a professional finish when fastening into varying materialsUsing a 15 gauge finish nailer has many advantages when it comes to completing your projects. These nailers are powerful, and able to drive nails into even the toughest of woods with ease. The angled magazine design also gives you much better access to tight spaces than traditional straight magazines, making them an ideal choice for doorjambs or stair treads. With a large piston, these nailers provide more power and drive nails much deeper than their smaller counterparts. The extra power also makes them great for tasks like nailing baseboards or crown molding onto hardwood floors. Disadvantages Of Using A 15 Gauge Finish Nailer You can use a finishing nailer or a brad nailer for skirting boards. A brad nailer will give you the best finish as it typically uses more discreet nails than a finishing nailer. However, a finishing nailer will have more holding power if the skirting board is heavier or bulkier than average. On the other hand, 16-ga nails heads have a noticeably smaller square profile so they leave a tiny hole(that may not need filling). Never carry your finish nailer with your finger resting on the trigger, you could accidentally shoot yourself or anybody around.

One of the unique features of this nailer is an air duster button located just above the grip. Easy to reach, it pushes compressed air from a front hole and allows the user to clear dust and debris from the work surface to prepare it for nailing. (A handy feature for people who like to keep their work area neat)In most cases, the 16 gauge does a better job than the much thinner 18 gauge. Also, the 16 gauge delivers smoother and cleaner work than the 18 gauge nail gun. Of course, they can work for many other projects so do not dare underestimate them- the truth is 15 gauge nails are strong enough for activities that need stronger nails like installing stair treads and nailing large door casings. The 16ga nail, is, on the hand, ideal for interior woodworking because the holes they leave are smaller and there is less risk of splitting wood(due to the narrower head).
