You're quite welcome. I kept the larger sized one I got with a busted corner, and I've already used it enough to declare this thing a winner. The trouble is, I can't find the guy who originally posted about this which got me started tracking it down. Whomever you are, step forward like a big ol' Canadian! This is a great thing you came up with.

I found out that any 18 ga. brad nail for a nailer will work. Usually, pneumatic nailers require 16 ga. for brads or full sized nails for framers. The little electric nailers use 18 ga. and as I learned the other day, some pneumatics are set for 18 ga. I choose the 1 1/2 inch 18 ga, and they work great. If they are too tall in some situations, I'll clip them off.
For those considering a purchase, let me say the larger one isn't really necessary to get a lot of good from this. The big difference is that both sides of the large one are flat. That's it.

Looking forward to seeing lots of output boys.
I wonder if they're available here. Amazon is not keen on posting to Oz. Worried about lions and tigers and bears I expect.

Where can you buy these - what size - what brand - what material. Larger and flat on both sides sounds good.
Anyone have a link to this?
