Hillman 122513 Wire Brad Nail 1-1/4 Inch 16 Gauge

Product Description

The HILLMAN 122513 is a bright wire brad nail intended for fine, detail-level fastening in wood and trim work. At 1-1/4 inches in length and 16 gauge, it features a small cupped head and a slender diameter designed to be driven flush or set below the wood surface for a clean, concealed finish. Sold in a 2 oz. hang package, these brads are well suited for light-duty fastening tasks where minimal surface disturbance is required. Licensed tradespeople and skilled finish carpenters reach for this size when working with delicate moldings, trim, and casings where larger fasteners would split or damage the material.

This brad nail is used in residential and light commercial interior finish work. Typical applications include attaching door and window casing, baseboards, chair rails, crown molding, and other detail carpentry elements. The small gauge and cupped head allow the nail to be set with a nail punch and filled with wood putty for a nearly invisible repair. These nails are commonly used with pneumatic brad nailers or driven by hand with a finish hammer.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16 gauge wire brad nail for use in hand nailing or pneumatic brad nailers compatible with 16 gauge fasteners, appropriate for light-duty interior finish carpentry applications.

Installation Notes

Brad nails of this gauge are typically installed by finish carpenters and trim tradespeople. When driving by hand, use a finish hammer and nail set to recess the head below the surface without marring the surrounding wood. When using a pneumatic nailer, verify tool compatibility with 16 gauge brads and adjust drive depth to avoid over-penetration in soft or thin stock. Always wear eye protection when nailing, as brads can deflect off hard grain.
