What are 23G brads?
23G brads are thin nails often used for precision finishing woodwork, furniture, crown molding and other delicate carpentry projects. These nails are thin and cause minimal damage to the wood surface, making them ideal for applications where you don't want large visible nail holes. Furthermore, despite their fine size, they have a strong and efficient holding power.
The G in 23G brads stands for the American thickness gauge Gauge. Gauge indicates the wire thickness of the finishing nail. 23 gauge finishing nails have a wire thickness of 0.6 mm. Thinner brads than these do not exist! The 23G brad is therefore specific for an ultra-fine finish. Would you prefer a slightly thicker finishing nail?
