What are angled stainless brad nails used for?
These 16g angled stainless brad nails are designed for finishing jobs where you need both easier access into awkward areas and a fixing suitable for more demanding conditions.
Their 20-degree angled strip helps a compatible nailer reach corners and confined spaces where positioning a straight nailer is harder, such as when installing skirting boards, architraves, mouldings, and timber trim.
Made from A2 stainless steel to Service Class 3, they can be used indoors or outdoors, including in damp and exposed areas, and are also suitable for oak and other tannin-rich timbers.
They also feature a concealed T-head for discreet fixing and a reduced-split design for a neat finish. Browse our full range of brad nails, see our wider range of collated nails, or explore our range of lenne pins and tools.

Which nailers are compatible with 16g angled stainless brad nails?
These brad nails for nail gun applications fit most 16G 20-degree angled brad nailers, including compatible models from Tacwise, Milwaukee, and DeWalt.
They will not fit a straight-brad nailer. Likewise, straight-collated nails can’t be used in a 20-degree angled nailer.
Always check the gauge, collation angle, and maximum nail length your tool supports before ordering.
Stainless or galvanised angled nails?
These A2 stainless steel-finish nails are Service Class 3, making them right for outdoor, damp, and exposed applications, as well as oak and other tannin-rich timbers.
For straightforward second-fix work in dry indoor conditions, galvanised angled brad nails with Service Class 1 plating may be more suitable.
FAQs
Can I use stainless steel angled brad nails outdoors?
Yes, these stainless steel angled brad nails are rated Service Class 3 and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, including damp and exposed conditions.
Their stainless steel construction also makes them suitable for working with oak and other tannin-rich timbers.
Do 20-degree angled brads fit a straight brad nailer?
No, a 20-degree angled brad is collated specifically for a compatible angled nailer and won’t fit a straight brad nailer.
Straight nails won’t fit a 20-degree angled tool either. These nails can be used with compatible 16G 20-degree angled brad nailers, including models from Tacwise, Milwaukee, and DeWalt.
Why choose stainless over galvanised?
Galvanised Service Class 1 nails are designed for dry internal applications, while these stainless steel Service Class 3 nails are suitable for indoor and outdoor jobs, as well as damp and exposed conditions.
Also use stainless steel finish nails when fixing into oak and other tannin-rich timbers, since tannins in certain woods can react with unsuitable metal nails, causing dark staining around the nail once installed.
