    Default Where to buy 23 gauge (0.6mm) headless pins?

    I'm looking for 23 gauge (0.6mm) headless pins for a finish nailer. Does anyone know where they can be bought in Melbourne or on-line?

    They only stock the one length... 15mm!

    Anywhere else?

    Theoretically, I should have received a box of 3/4" pins with the 23 gauge pinner (they're now on their way), but I'd also like a box of each of 1/2", 5/8" and 1" which would see me out.

    I see this is 6 years old.

    Anyone find 23 gauge pinner nails in Melbourne recently?
    Thanks,

    I bought a box of assorted sizes from Bunnings. Hmm, 1/2", 3/4" and 1", in a white box. I had to search for them but they are in the tool shop.

    Yes they are - at least here in Adelaide.

    I had never seen them and had to chase around to get some previously, so following Yanis comment had a look yesterday and there they were (mention of white box helped!)

    Not all stores may have them, but Bunnings are fairly consistent with their product lines across states.
    Mixed in with all of the other Air Nails.

    A bit expensive per nail, but if you only use a few and want an assortment like me it would be handy. Previously I ended up buying three boxes at about $15 each just to get a few of each.

    Through Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more you can buy 23 ga pins of various sizes made by Stanley/Bostich for Bostich Tu-216-2330 and other tools.

    Got'em!

    Thanks for posting that pic Bauldy.
    Absolute champion!
    The L/N number made it sooooo much easier.


    Man these are microscopic.
    I was convinced they had mislabeled the pac or miscounted the content.

    Got two pacs. One of theme had the 25mm missing so they sold to me for $7 instead of $14.95.

    Now why did I need these in the first place?

    Nice to finally get to tick some things off me todo list!

    One of the things I found, was that before I had the "Pinner" I had an occasional need, but got by.

    Now I have it, I find more and more uses for it.

    Recently been using it just to hold glued items until set. I am sure it does not replace clamping fully, but works for many purposes and is quick and easy and allows you to keep working on the project.
