SOUTHERN CARLSON BRIGHT 16-GAUGE FINISH NAILS - 1-3/4"Southern Carlson bright-finish 16-gauge straight-collated finish nails for interior trim and finish carpentry. Bright finish means uncoated carbon steel - the right choice for interior dry-service work where the nail head will be filled and painted. Driven by most 16-gauge straight finish nailers, the chisel point lets the nail glide past wood fibers instead of splitting them and the slight head countersinks cleanly for easy fill-and-paint cleanup.
- Gauge: 16 (approximately 0.0625" / 1.6 mm shank)
- Length: 1-3/4"
- Collation: Straight strip, glue collated - fits the magazine of most 16-gauge straight finish nailers (Bostitch, Porter-Cable, Hitachi/Metabo HPT, Senco, DeWalt, Duo-Fast, Hilti, and similar)
- Point: Chisel point reduces wood splitting in oak, maple, and other dense trim stock
- Head: Slight T-head countersinks cleanly into softwood and hardwood for fill-and-paint or stain-grade finishing
- Finish: Bright (uncoated carbon steel) - interior dry service only, not for any exterior exposure
- Pack: 2500 nails per box
- Applications: Interior trim, baseboard, crown molding, door and window casing, chair rail, panel molding, cabinet face frames, and built-up trim assemblies
Tip: This length suits standard interior trim runs - window and door casing, base shoe, chair rails, picture rails - through trim stock into solid stud or backer. Set the nailer depth to leave the head just below the surface for cleaner fill, and run a test fire into scrap before starting on finished trim.
