Stanley Bostitch BT1338B-1M 18 Gauge Brad Nail 1000 Count

Product Description

The STANLEY BOSTITCH BT1338B-1M is an 18-gauge coated brad nail designed for use with pneumatic and cordless brad nailers in finish carpentry, trim work, and cabinet installation. Each nail measures 1.5 inches in length and features a coating that reduces friction during driving while helping to resist corrosion. This 1,000-count box is sized for job-site volume work, reducing downtime from frequent reloading. The 18-gauge wire diameter provides holding strength without splitting thin or delicate stock. Carpenters, finish contractors, and trim installers reach for this size when fastening base molding, door casing, window trim, and light-duty wood assemblies.

These brad nails are suited for residential and light commercial finish carpentry applications. The 1.5-inch length works well when fastening trim stock and molding to framing or substrate where a shorter nail lacks pullout resistance and a longer nail risks blow-through. The coated finish aids consistent magazine feeding and smooth firing through compatible 18-gauge brad nailers. Typical install scenarios include interior trim, furniture assembly, cabinetry face frames, and decorative millwork where nail heads must remain small and inconspicuous.
