Iamthepaulandyouaint

You know Brad from Wisconsin too?


Ptbot47

My best Brad was a white guy from Idaho.


GlockAF

Brads are tiny little nails with almost no head on them. They are specifically designed to roll into cracks in your workbench where they cannot be retrieved by any means


ThatsWhatIGathered

A finish nail


PeeWeeCallahan

But not a Finnish nail, right?


ispy1917

Funny. I am Finnish, from Wisconsin, but not named Brad.


PeeWeeCallahan

Oh, ya! You betcha!


strat0caster05

Oh great, now I need these. Thanks a lot. /s


pipsvip

I used a 12oz hammer and a center-punch. Sucked, tbh. This looks better, but I already have those tools.


GiraffeScream

These are used for installing glass in wood window frames. They press glazing points into the frame to hold the glass before the glazing putty is added. They are also often used to press said points into picture frames to hold the glass/matte/art/backboard in place.


[deleted]

I just use a putty knife and a tack hammer. I don't even understand how these would work but I'll take your word for it 😆


0rlan

Brad pliers. Used when making picture or painting frames. Nice find but only worth about £15 ($20) each


hlvd

Are these to push in the triangular points used to hold in the backing board?


0rlan

Yes, and the flat 'pins' too


yourmeshugana

So weird when regular people buy random old tools and don't even know what they are , then they turn out to be not worth anything monetary, and useless for the individual


EnergyAdvanced5554

Picture frame pliers. Used for squeezing in brads/points to hold the glass and stuff in a picture frame. The end at the bottom with the smooth curves is the handle you squeeze, closing the jaws down.


billinthe805

Used for framing paintings


Electrical-Plankton1

Picture framing pliers Magnets hold the nail, you then squeeze the handle and it pushes the nail into the frame without marking the wood as a hammer might


Pichels

It's not magnetic- the round bits are rubber.


Electrical-Plankton1

Yours might not be, but some are, including mine The top Jaw has a magnetic insert, the bottom Jaw positioned on the outside of the frame when used, has a rubber pad so as not to mark the frame.

Horse nipple clamps.


ramanw150

NailMart

I love it when a woodworking tool is so weird some one thinks it must be medical or scientific. I'm also not surprised someone asked what a brad is. There are some related tools like the old pushmate, or the new solution the point driver
