Brads and Finish Nails for Delicate Work
Every nail has its purpose. Using the correct ones for the job — like brads and finish nails for trim work — is crucial for quality and sound construction. At Lowe's, we offer a wide selection of nails in a variety of lengths, gauges and shank types. Find collated nails, like DEWALT finishing nails or PORTER CABLE brad nails, for use in pneumatic nail guns.
Brad nails, like DEWALT brad nails, are smaller in diameter than finish nails and blend in when used for crafts, decorative trim and other light uses. Finish nails offer more support and are best for larger woodwork and trim such as crown moulding. They often require puttying over because they leave a more visible hole. Pin nails, some of the smallest nails you can find, are used for very fine finishing work or to temporarily hold pieces together while glue dries. We also carry a selection of collated pin nails for use in appropriate nailers.
Nails come in a number of finishes including coated, electro-galvanized, bright, galvanized and yellow zinc. With so many choices available, use our nail buying guide — How to Choose the Right Nails for Your Project — to find out which nails are best suited to your project.
