FAQs

What gauge are these brad nails?

These brad nails are 16 gauge.

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

These nails are for internal applications unless stainless steel nails are used.

What types of wood can these nails be used with?

These nails can be used with both soft and hardwood.

What is the benefit of the angled design?

The angled design is ideal for securing corners or near the corners of the wood.

How should I store these nails?

Store the nails in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.

Can I use these nails with a gas-powered nail gun?

Yes, but you will need to purchase Fischer 2nd fix fuel cells (540494).

Are these nails likely to separate from the collation?

No, specialised glue is used to prevent the nails from separating from the collation if dropped.

Troubleshooting

Nails are jamming in the tool.

Check the nail strip for damage or debris. Ensure the nails are properly aligned in the magazine. Clear any jams according to the tool's manual.

Nails are not countersinking properly.

Adjust the tool's depth setting. Make sure the air pressure (if applicable) is set correctly. Ensure the nail gun is making firm contact with the wood.

Wood is splitting.

Use a slower firing speed. Try pre-drilling holes, especially in hardwoods, to prevent splitting.
