Pro-Tip

Pro-Tip: Because 23-gauge headless pins are so incredibly thin, they lack the holding power of brad nails or finish nails on their own. For the strongest and most professional result in fine finish carpentry, apply a high-quality wood glue to your joint before pinning. The AF353 pin nailer acts as an instant, invisible clamp to hold the pieces perfectly in place while the glue sets permanently.
