30mm brad nails - where to get in Australia?
Hi there. I haven't been here for 2 1/2 years. Wow. It's changed.
Anyway, I have a really good brad nailer that I bought in the UK (Maestro brand, FYI) and the biggest brad it takes is 30mm. I've used up all that I brought home with me, and now all I can find are 32mm in ALL the stores I've tried.
Does anyone know where I can get 30mm brads?
(The ones I brought back from the UK were 'Rapesco' brand 180/30 nails. I believe that Rapesco is now branded as Tacwise.)
Nice to be back.

Hi Muzza
Try Bunnnings, they have 16mm, 25mm & 30mm brads in the tool section
C-Brads I think they are called. Can't remember the guage, but they are very thin.
Cheers

Muzza
is it a ME30 or a ME30-08?
The Paslode C brads fit the ME30
I'm not sure who carries the 21ga pins used by the ME30-08, but I'm thinking seriously of getting one

Brads
Hi Muzza
Going by the coding of the brads you had (Rapesco' brand 180/30 nails)
I would assume that they are 18guage x 30mm long
18 guage (1.25mm) is a C1 brad
16 guage (1.6mm) is a C brad
They can not be interchanged
We would be happy to sell you them through our online storeRay

Bunnings only had 32mm or 25mm.
I found them at TradeTools in Nambour in the end. Thanks for all your suggestions.
