Differences Between F Brad Nails and T Brad Nails

1.  ‌Nail Head Design‌

‌F Brad Nails‌: Feature a ‌single-sided protruding head‌ resembling the letter "F" in profile

‌T Brad Nails‌: Have a ‌double-sided protruding head‌ (resembling "T") for enhanced grip and stability

2.  ‌Wire Diameter & Specifications‌

‌F Brad Nails‌:

Thinner wire diameter (‌1.0–1.2 mm‌) and shorter lengths, such as ‌F10–F30‌ (10–30 mm)

‌T Brad Nails‌:

Thicker wire diameter (‌1.4–2.2 mm‌) and longer lengths, including ‌T30, T50, T64‌ (up to 64 mm)

3.  ‌Applications‌

‌F Brad Nails‌:

Ideal for lightweight tasks: ‌decorative panels, small furniture, wooden crates‌, and delicate materials like rattan

‌T Brad Nails‌:

Designed for ‌high-strength connections‌:

‌Baseboards, structural frames, ceilings‌, and dense materials (e.g., hardwood or thin metal sheets)

4.  ‌Grip Strength‌

The ‌T-type‌’s thicker wire and bilateral head provide superior holding power in dense wood or concrete

5.  ‌Material and Coating‌

‌F Brad Nails‌ may use similar coatings but prioritize lightweight performance over heavy-duty durability

6.  ‌Compatibility with Nail Guns

‌F Brad Nails‌: Typically used with ‌F30 nail guns‌ for precision work

‌T Brad Nails‌: Require ‌T50 nail guns‌ to handle their thicker gauge and higher driving force

7.  ‌Cost‌
