Brads

What Are Brads?

Brads are small, thin nails or fasteners with minimal heads, designed for precision work where a discreet finish is essential. Often used in woodworking, upholstery, and trim applications, brads provide a clean, nearly invisible hold without splitting delicate materials. Their slender design makes them ideal for securing lightweight moldings, fabric, or decorative elements while maintaining a polished appearance.



Why Choose Brads?

Brads offer a blend of functionality and aesthetics, making them a favorite among craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts. Unlike bulkier nails, they leave minimal marks and are easy to conceal with putty or paint. Their versatility extends to both manual and pneumatic tools, ensuring seamless integration into various projects.

✨ Discreet Fastening: Tiny heads reduce visibility, perfect for finishing work.
🎯 Precision-Driven: Ideal for delicate materials like trim or veneer.
🔨 Easy to Use: Compatible with brad nailers for quick, efficient installation.
🏆 Durable Hold: Provides reliable adhesion without compromising material integrity.



Common Uses for Brads

From cabinetry to picture frames, brads are indispensable in detailed woodworking. They’re also widely used in:

✨ Upholstery: Securing fabric to furniture frames without visible damage.
🎯 Baseboards & Crown Molding: Ensuring a flush, professional finish.
🔨 Craft Projects: Assembling lightweight materials with precision.
🏆 Paneling & Wainscoting: Holding panels in place discreetly.



Material & Sizing Options

Brads are typically made from steel, stainless steel, or brass, offering corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance. Available in gauges ranging from 18 to 23 and lengths from ½ inch to 2 inches, they cater to diverse project needs. Choose finer gauges for fragile materials or longer lengths for deeper holds.



Upgrade your toolkit with brads—the go-to fastener for flawless, professional results in every detail-oriented project.
