Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What nailers are compatible with these nails?
   These nails work with most 18G brad nailers that accept 12mm length nails.

   They are best used indoors. For outdoor projects, stainless steel or specially treated nails are recommended.

3. Can I use these nails on hardwood?
   They’re primarily designed for softwoods, MDF, and similar light materials. Hardwood use may require more robust fasteners.

4. Do they prevent wood from splitting?
   Yes, the fine 18G profile helps minimise the risk of splitting delicate materials.

   Yes, they are collated for seamless loading into compatible nailers.

8. Do they leave visible marks?
   Minimal—ideal for finish work where appearance matters. Use filler if a completely flush finish is required.
