These nails are ideal for securing corners or near the corners of the wood and can be used to fix wood in place or to hold two pieces together and may be removed carefully when the glue dries. They are least likely to split the wood or damage the corners because they have blunt ends. The nails can be used in both soft and hardwood, offering various applications based on personal choice and the type of project. They are made with specialised glue, so if dropped, nails do not become loose and separate from the glue collation. All brad nails should be used in internal applications unless used for a temporary fix or when using stainless steel. Suitable for use in all major second fix angled nailing tools. With Gas powered second fix tools please purchase the fischer 2nd fix fuel cells 540496.
