Strong, durable fastening - with 18-gauge galvanised steel
Manufactured as 18G brad nails at 14mm length, these nails use a thin gauge that delivers secure penetration while remaining discreet in trim work. Dimensions match common 18G standards, ensuring consistent drive depth when used with compatible nailers.
Reliable mechanical hold keeps skirting, architraves and trim in place during assembly and finishing, reducing the need for filler or touch-ups.
Rust resistance for visible finishes - with galvanised coating
A galvanised zinc coating is applied to each nail to inhibit surface corrosion, creating a rust-resistant barrier. The coating is noted specifically for protecting nails used in woodworking and second-fix trades.
Galvanised finish helps prevent rust stains on joinery and interior fittings, making nails suitable where occasional moisture might occur.
Fewer stoppages on the job - with consistent manufacturing to 18G standards
Produced to be equivalent to Stanley type J, Rapid type 8 and Arrow 18GA dimensions, the nails feed smoothly in compatible 18G brad nailers. User feedback highlights smooth feeding and minimal jamming during use.
Smooth, reliable feeding and full drives reduce downtime and speed up trimming, assembly and sub-flooring tasks.
