Hillman Fasteners 122518 Galvanized Wire Brads 1/2 in 19 Gauge

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122518 is a galvanized wire brad designed for light fastening applications in finish carpentry, trim work, and general construction. At 1/2 inch in length and 19 gauge, these small-diameter brads drive cleanly into thin stock, molding, and trim without splitting the material. The galvanized coating provides basic corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in mildly damp or exterior-adjacent conditions. Each package contains 1.5 oz of brads, and units are sold in a package quantity of 6. Carpenters, trim installers, and general contractors rely on wire brads like these for low-profile, nearly invisible fastening where a larger nail would cause damage.

These galvanized wire brads are used in residential and light commercial finish work. Typical applications include attaching thin wood moldings, small trim pieces, cabinet backs, and craft or millwork projects. The 19 gauge diameter keeps the brad head small, minimizing surface patching after installation. The 1/2 inch length is suited for thin substrate layering where deeper penetration is not required or desired.

Key Features

• 19 gauge wire diameter for minimal surface damage and easy concealment
• 1/2 inch length suited for thin trim, molding, and light fastening tasks
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for mildly humid or exterior-adjacent applications
• 1.5 oz per package with a package quantity of 6 units
• Small brad head reduces need for extensive surface patching after installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 19 gauge wire brad compatible with manual brad driving and pneumatic or hand nailers rated for 19 gauge, 1/2 inch wire brads.

Installation Notes

Wire brads of this gauge and length are typically installed by finish carpenters using a brad nailer or hand nail set. Ensure the nailer is set to the correct gauge and length before loading. When driving by hand, use a nail set to seat the brad below the surface without marring surrounding material. Always follow tool manufacturer safety guidelines when using pneumatic nailers.
