Brad Nails
They are available in varying lenths, from 5/8 inch to 2 1/4 inch. They can be found in a variety of materials to suit different applications, such as galvanized and stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Galvanized brad nails are ideal for outdoor work as they are less likely to corrode, while stainless steel nails are ideal for harder materials such as tile to be nailed without splitting. Aluminum brad nails are more adept at piercing hard materials and are ideal for affixing thin metals or siding, while copper nails are much weaker and are designed for wood work, but are affordable and accessible.
The application of brad nails requires a specific nailer, called a brad nailer. Brad nails can be affixed by hand with a hammer, with an electric nail gun, or most commonly, with a pneumatic nailer that uses compressed air to fire the nail from a strip of nails inserted in the machine.
