brad nails

Slender finishing fasteners

Brad nails are thin, small-gauge finishing nails used in woodworking and carpentry.

They leave minimal holes, making them ideal for attaching trim, molding, and delicate pieces where larger fasteners would split the wood or look unsightly.

Brads are typically driven by pneumatic or electric nail guns: I used brad nails to secure the cabinet backing.
