No. 18 gauge brads are only a little thicker than pins. They're literally made from 18 gauge steel wire.

They're small, fast, leave minimal trace (small to non-existent nail heads), and are useful primarily for decorative or cases such as trim/casing, molding, decorative accessories, and "holding" while fastening.

Their benefit is that they're small enough that you typically won't see them unless looking for them and you don't have to fill the nail holes (except in fine woodworking (where you probably aren't using brads anyway, at last not in visible locations). If you look closely at the molding or trim along a floor or around a window, you'll see tiny little holes in the tram from the brad nails that are holding it in place.

For anything structural or that needs strength, brads are only useful as a temporary holding support to assist with stronger fasteners. For example, I will often line up pieces of wood and then place a few nails with the brad nailer to hold them in place while glue dries, or while I then insert screws. I would never rely on brads for anything that is stressed, though.

Any time you're doing something that is structural (has to support a load), it's best to err on the side of extra support. You mention shelves in a closet. . . for that, you'll want to use screws and you'll want to ensure that you're screwing into the wooden studs, not just the drywall. Since you'll typically be going through 3/4" of wood, plus 1/2 of drywall, and then into the stud, you'll want 2 1/2" to 3" screws.

Thanks, I ordered this from Fasteners on black Friday but had it refunded today with no explanation. I presume they don't have the stock as it was showing OOS shortly after. Thanks for posting.

Great tool 18GA is a good all around size for 90% of DYI home needs. So handy not to have to drag out an compressor to fix or replace a little trim in the home.

Would this gauge be strong enough to nail that wooden piece when adding selves in a closet that supports the weight?

I ended up just buying a small Craftsman pancake compressor. I use it for my brad nailers and to put air in tires. While I agree with your statement, I still find it hard to pull the trigger at $200 especially when the Craftsman version of this nailer was just on sale for $99. A small compressor is the next best thing although having to deal with a hose is still a PITA.

Even with a Dewalt to craftsman adapter, it is cheaper

For someone like me that's already got dewalt tools and batteries I'd still have to purchase batteries for that linked craftsman. I'm sure that puts me at the $200 price point.

Going with a pancake and pneumatic guns would be cheaper in the long run but I'll probably use brads 90% of the time so in the short term it's more expensive.

I tend to think too long and miss out on the deals which is both good and bad lol.

Edit - I didn't see your adapter when I hit reply. That looks like a problem waiting to break to me.

15 gauge would be much better for your intended need.
