A 2 in glue-collated 18-gauge brad from Bostitch, the extra length reaches through thick casing and baseboard where shorter brads fall short. The coating eases driving and boosts holding power, and the straight strips fit common 18-gauge nailers, making it a good interior choice when you want maximum brad length while still leaving a small, fillable hole.
Pros
- Full 2 in length reaches through thick casing and baseboard for a better bite than short brads
- Coating eases drive resistance and increases holding power once the nail is set
- Glue-collated straight strips fit a wide range of Bostitch and other 18-gauge brad nailers
Cons
- Coated for interior use, so it will rust outdoors or on treated lumber
- Still only 18-gauge, so for heavy casing and stair parts a 15 or 16-gauge finish nail holds better
- 1000-count box is a smaller quantity, so heavy trim users may prefer a larger bulk pack
