What distinguishes 18G nails from nails is their thin size and rectangular head. This head is the same width as the shaft but deeper, resulting in greater bonding force. Despite the improved adhesion, less force is required to pull the head through the top layer compared to nails with a larger, round or truncated head. The minibrad offers significant advantages for fine carpentry. However, it is good to know that they are not suitable for larger construction purposes, as they do not have the same pull-out value as nails and screws.
