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.
