    Default Type 13 brads anyone?

    I have a B&D Powershot stapler that I have had for years and it works exceptionally well with staples. I need to shoot some 15mm brads which it is capable of but I have never done it. The brads required are type 13 which seem to be readily available in the US and UK but can't find them here. Are they known by another name here, or has anyone ever bought them here?

    Try Bunnings, I get my C1 brads for my air brad gun there and I think they may be the same type.

    If you are in Bunnings, look for Bosch nails which were kept in the same section as the staples for hand staplers. I think they are type 13 but may be a bit shorter, maybe 12mm?. Unfortunately Bunnings are doing as predicted, once they club the opposition out they reduce range and up prices.

    Thanks guys. The only ones I have seen in bunnos are Trojan brand but it doesn't say if they are type 13 or not.

    If you have a Total Tools near you they have nails at half the price of Bunnies. They might have more knowledge of what you are after.
