AirCraft Brad Nails — 16 Gauge × 45 mm (Box of 2 500)
For joinery tasks demanding deeper hold, these 16-gauge, 45 mm brad nails deliver strong retention with minimal surface intrusion. The slim head keeps finishes clean, while extended penetration suits thick trims, carcass fixing or heavy mouldings. Comes in a 2 500-piece box and is compatible with the AirCraft AT0002 and most straight-strip 16 g brad nailers.
Features
- 16-gauge (T-type) brads — robust shank for heavier fixing tasks.
- 45 mm length — deeper reach into substrate for high-load applications.
- Electro-galvanised (GEL) finish for standard indoor corrosion resistance.
- Straight-strip collation — fits AT0002 and most straight-magazine 16 g tools.
- 2 500-piece bulk pack — suitable for demanding jobsite requirements.
Benefits
- Deep hold: 45 mm length ensures solid anchoring even in layered assemblies.
- Clean finish: Low-profile head helps minimise patching and sanding.
- Reduced downtime: Generous pack count keeps work moving.
- Wide applications: Ideal for thick trims, carcase fixings, internal frame work.
Extra Information
- Primarily designed for interior environments; for damp or exterior use consider stainless or higher corrosion-resistant nails.
- Test drive depth before starting, especially on softer woods, to avoid drive-through or surface marring.
- Store in dry conditions to maintain galvanised finish and integrity of strips.
Pro Tip
- For narrow or vulnerable mouldings, back up with a block to avoid blow-through when using 45 mm nails.
- Reduce air pressure slightly and allow the tool to do the driving instead of force — avoids over-penetration and splitting.
