Forums Steel Investment Casting

I'm operating on a project where I need to use 18 gauge brad nails, and I want to make sure they're stainless steel for out of doors longevity. Do they make 18 gauge stainless steel brad nails?

Yes, you can definitely find stainless steel brad nails in 18 gauge. They're not as usual as regular steel, but they're available. Check out brands like Bostitch or Senco—they both offer stainless options.

I've used 18 gauge stainless steel nails for some outdoor trim work, and they held up truly well. Just make sure your brad nailer is compatible with stainless steel nails because they can sometimes be a bit harder on the gun than regular ones.

Thanks! That's helpful. I wasn't sure if stainless steel would be a good option for brad nails, but it sounds like they're sturdy plenty for outdoor projects.
