AirCraft Brad Nails — 18 Gauge × 38 mm (Box of 5 000)
Deliver a clean, subtle finish on interior woodwork. These 18-gauge, 38 mm brads drive flush with a tiny head that’s easy to fill, making them ideal for skirtings, architraves, beading, cabinet assembly and light mouldings. Supplied in a contractor-friendly 5 000-piece box and optimised for the AirCraft AT0001 (and most straight-magazine 18 g nailers).
Features
- 18-gauge (F-type) brads — slim shank for low-visibility fastening.
- 38 mm length — extra reach for thicker trims and stronger hold in base material.
- Electro-galvanised (GEL) finish for general indoor corrosion resistance.
- Straight strip collation — fits AT0001 and most straight 18 g brad nailers.
- 5 000-piece bulk pack keeps crews productive with fewer reloads.
Benefits
- Discreet appearance: tiny head minimises filling and sanding.
- Balanced holding power: 38 mm length secures trims and light assemblies without over-fastening.
- Lower risk of splitting: narrow shank is kinder to delicate profiles.
- Workflow efficiency: high-count box reduces downtime on site.
Extra Information
- Best suited to interior applications; choose stainless or heavy-coated fasteners for exterior/wet areas.
- Select brad length to suit workpiece thickness; avoid blow-through on thin stock.
- Store dry to preserve the galvanised finish and collation integrity.
Pro Tip
- Dial in depth-of-drive on scrap before production work; use tool settings rather than excess air pressure to prevent over-driving.
- For narrow trims, oppose brads at slight angles to increase holding power without moving up a gauge.
