Paslode F16 16g brad nails are the standard consumable for anyone running a Paslode IM65 or IM50 gas nailer on site. These straight, glue-collated brads are made specifically for those tools and come in packs of 2000 nails with 2 fuel cells included, so you have everything needed for a full working session without digging around the van for a spare cell. Available in eight lengths from 16mm to 63mm, the range covers most internal carpentry and light joinery tasks you will encounter.
The lost head profile is what makes 16g Paslode nails particularly useful for finish work. The head sits flush or just below the surface, so fixings can be concealed with filler or left almost invisible under paint, veneer, or trim. Cabinet fitting, skirting, architrave, beading, and general joinery all benefit from a fixing that does not draw the eye once the job is done. The chisel point helps each nail enter timber cleanly, reducing the risk of splitting finer sections.
Collation, Coating, and Choosing the Right Length
The nails carry a light galvanised coating in the 1 to 3 micron range. That is appropriate for interior timber work where some moisture resistance is useful, such as fixing into frames before a building is dried out. For fully exposed exterior applications or corrosive environments, a heavier coating would be the right call, but for the vast majority of indoor carpentry these are entirely suitable.
Glue collation is the standard format for Paslode gas tools. It holds the nails consistently in the magazine and allows the tool to feed reliably at pace, which on a busy fit-out matters more than it might seem. Misfeeds and stop-start feeding slow a job down and generally test your patience in ways best avoided.
Getting the nail length right is worth a moment of thought. As a general guide, the nail should penetrate the receiving timber by at least two-thirds of its total length for a reliable fix. For 12mm MDF onto a 45mm batten, a 38mm or 45mm nail is the sensible choice. For lighter beading or veneer strips, 16mm or 19mm keeps things tidy without punching through.
Pro Tip: When running multiple lengths on the same job, mark each pack clearly before loading because an IM65 magazine loaded with the wrong length mid-run is an easy mistake to make and a nuisance to clear.
Paslode F16 16g brad nails are used across internal carpentry and joinery work wherever a clean, concealable fixing is needed. Typical applications include fitting skirting boards, architrave, door casings, window beading, cabinet carcasses, and MDF trim. They are also widely used in second fix joinery on new builds, commercial fit-outs, and domestic renovations. The range of lengths available makes these suitable for fixing thin beading through to heavier trim sections onto timber frames and battens.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for fully exposed exterior use or corrosive environments where a heavier galvanised or stainless coating would be required. These nails are not compatible with Paslode framing or strip nailers, only the IM65 and IM50 brad nailer models.
Load the glue-collated strip into the IM65 or IM50 magazine with the nail points facing forward. Insert a fuel cell into the tool's fuel cell chamber before starting. Select the nail length appropriate to the material thickness and substrate, aiming for at least two-thirds of the nail length to penetrate the receiving timber.Set the tool's depth drive adjustment on a scrap piece of the same material before working on the finished surface. This avoids over-driving on softer timbers or leaving proud heads on hardwood trim. Keep the contact foot flush against the workpiece and fire cleanly to avoid angled nails, which are harder to conceal and weaker in holding power.
Select the correct nail length for the job, ensuring at least two-thirds penetration into the receiving timber.
Insert a fuel cell into the Paslode IM65 or IM50 fuel cell chamber.
Load the glue-collated nail strip into the magazine with points forward.
Test depth drive setting on offcut material before working on the finished surface.
Hold the contact foot flush against the workpiece and fire with steady, direct pressure.
Punch any proud heads below the surface with a nail punch if needed, then fill and finish.
Do these nails work with any nailer other than the Paslode IM65 and IM50?
These are designed specifically for the Paslode IM65 and IM50 gas nailers. They use Paslode's straight glue-collated format and will not function correctly in other brands' tools or in Paslode framing nailers. Always check tool compatibility before ordering.
Are the fuel cells included in the pack, or do they need to be bought separately?
Each pack of 2000 nails includes 2 Paslode fuel cells. The pack is put together to roughly match one working session, so you should not find yourself with a full magazine and an empty fuel chamber, or vice versa.
Paslode F16 brad nails are manufactured in 16 gauge wire and supplied in a straight glue-collated format for use in Paslode gas nailers. The galvanised coating of 1 to 3 microns provides light corrosion resistance suitable for interior timber applications. The lost head profile minimises surface disruption, and the chisel point reduces timber splitting during penetration. Each pack contains 2000 nails and 2 Paslode fuel cells.
