BRAD NAIL
Description: A brad is a finishing nail that is shorter than 1 1/2 inches. It is available in lengths of 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch, and is very thin (19 gauge).
Buying information: It is very good for making picture frames.
How-to hints: To work with these nails more easily, since they are so small, hold them in place with needlenose pliers as you drive them, or use a brad driver (basically a hollow metal tool that has a spring and a magnet in it). Brads (up to 1 1/4 inch) are dropped into the tube and then can be pushed in place rather than hammered.
