I am building a series of cabinets and use the Bostitch brads for all the trim. I found that the 1 inch brads are exactly what I need for most of my project. I bought the 2 inch brads but find that most of the projects that I have tackled only require the 1 inch.

It took a little bit of time to learn to adjust my compressor to get the air pressure that is needed for the Bostitch brad nailer. I am new at using the nailer but got everything working after a few minutes of playing around. Just make sure use eye protection.

What else can I say. No feed problems and although a little more than the cheap brads they always feed cleanly.

Brads are Brads they get the job done. The brads are great but the packing during shipping was terrible. The box the brads where in was completely destroyed and rows they come in where all broken apart. If not for the packing this would have been a 5 star review.

I may have simply gotten a bad batch but many of the strips of nails in the box were rusted and couldn't be used so keep that in mind when ordering these. It's a risk you always take when you buy these types of products online and like I said, it may have just been a bad batch that I got.

I received the staples and then realized my stapler is broken. I think the staples are fine but I haven't been able to use them. I received the product quickly with no problem from seller.

Well packaged and item was exactly as described. Wasn't in stock and took longer than expected, but multiple shipments are ok with me as long as the seller communicates well and I don't have to pay for their lack of inventory through multiple shipping bills. Such was the case here.

Bottom line - they're 18 GA brads, alright...

Bought a reconditioned Bostich nail gun for $30 from Amazon, and have used Bostich brads exclusively with no jams, no problems. Have heard stories about jamming with other makes of nails and brads.

Beware ordering from Amazon. Of the three packages of brads, staples, and finish nails, two were broken open on the inside of the box with the brads scattered all over. They just don't pack them carefully!
