When you've got detailed woodwork to attend to, grab your nail gun and load it up with this strip of brad nails from Tacwise. It has 5000 18-gauge nails that can be used to bind lightweight wood trims. Brad nails are small (these are 32 mm in length) and tricky to drive manually into wood. Placed together as they are in this strip - and combined with the force generated by your electric power tool - they'll penetrate surfaces easily. These nails are galvanised and as a result, highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Their slender profile helps to prevent splitting as you drive them into the wood, and once they're home, they're practically invisible, leaving your work with a neat finish. These pieces are suitable for wooden structures both indoors and outdoors, from kitchen cabinets to garden sheds. Tacwise Brad Nail Strip 32mm 18g (5000 Pack) in Chrome.

Troubleshooting
Nails are not firing.
Check the nail gun for jams, ensure the nail strip is loaded correctly, and verify the power source (if electric or pneumatic).
Nails are not countersinking properly.
Adjust the nail gun's depth setting. If this does not work, the wood may be too hard, and pre-drilling might be necessary.
Nails are bending.
Ensure the nail gun is perpendicular to the wood surface. Reduce the firing power or use a slower firing speed. Try using a different wood type if possible.
Nails are jamming the nailer.
Clear the jam according to the nailer's instructions, check for bent nails in the strip and ensure you are using the correct size and type of nails for your nailer.
