The KYA Pneumatic 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer T64 is a professional air-powered finish nailer designed for trim, molding, baseboards, cabinetry, furniture, window and door casing, paneling and other finish carpentry applications. It drives 16 gauge straight finish nails from 1 in. to 2-1/2 in. (25mm to 65mm) and operates at 70-120 PSI (5-8.3 bar).
The T64 combines a 150-nail magazine capacity, lightweight 2.0kg aluminum body, selectable sequential or contact firing, quick-release nose for jam clearing, no-mar tip and adjustable exhaust. These features make it suitable for continuous professional woodworking and finish-installation work where stronger holding power than an 18 gauge brad nailer is required.

Request T64 PricingThe T64 holds up to 150 finish nails, helping reduce reload frequency during repetitive trim, molding, cabinetry and furniture production work.
The selectable trigger allows the operator to choose between sequential firing for controlled placement and contact actuation for faster repetitive fastening. Use the firing mode appropriate for the work procedure and applicable safety requirements.
The quick-release nosepiece provides access to the driver area when clearing a jammed or misfed nail, helping reduce downtime during production. Disconnect the compressed-air supply before inspecting or clearing the fastener path.
A no-mar rubber tip helps protect decorative wood, molding, cabinetry and other visible surfaces from unnecessary nose marks during fastening.
The adjustable exhaust port helps direct discharged air away from the operator and work surface, which is useful when working around trim dust and finished materials.
The T64 uses an aluminum body with a rubber hand grip. At approximately 2.0kg / 4.40lb, it is designed to balance durability with operator control during repetitive finish work.
The T64 accepts 16 gauge straight finish nails from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches (25-65mm). This fastener class provides more holding strength than typical 18 gauge brad nails, making it suitable for heavier molding, baseboards, casing and cabinetry.

If you are replacing nails from another brand, send KYA the existing fastener dimensions or tool model so the nail specification can be confirmed before ordering.
Check Nail CompatibilityThe 16 gauge fastener provides sufficient holding power for baseboards, crown molding, decorative trim and other finish carpentry where a stronger fastener is required than a small brad nail.
Straight 16 gauge finish nails are suitable for installing window casing, door casing and related trim components where controlled nail placement and secure fastening are important.
The T64 can be used for furniture frames, cabinets, cabinet trim, drawer components and other woodworking assemblies requiring a clean finish combined with stronger holding power.
Other applications include wall paneling, chair rails, interior decorative woodwork and similar finishing installations.
The tool may also be used for selected bedding, upholstery-frame and furniture fastening work where 16 gauge straight finish nails are appropriate.
| Feature | 16 Gauge Finish Nailer | 18 Gauge Brad Nailer |
|---|---|---|
| Fastener | Thicker 16GA finish nail | Thinner 18GA brad |
| Holding Power | Higher | Lower |
| Typical Work | Baseboards, casing, molding, cabinets, heavier trim | Light trim, delicate molding, small decorative pieces |
| Nail Hole | Larger | Smaller |
Choose a 16 gauge finish nailer when stronger fastening is the priority. Choose an 18 gauge brad nailer for lighter and more delicate trim where minimizing the visible nail hole is more important.
The T64 is a straight finish nailer. Straight magazines are practical for general trim, molding, cabinets and open-access finish work. Angled finish nailers are often selected when magazine clearance is important in corners or confined areas.
Straight and angled finish nails are not automatically interchangeable. Always match the fastener gauge, collation style, nail length and magazine specification to the tool being used.
Use clean, regulated compressed air within the specified 70-120 PSI operating range. Select compatible 16 gauge straight finish nails, load the magazine correctly and adjust the compressor pressure according to the material and required nail penetration.
Start with the lowest pressure that drives the nail correctly and increase pressure only as required. Excessive pressure can increase tool wear and may drive fasteners too deeply into finished wood.
Disconnect the air supply before clearing jams, performing maintenance, inspecting the driver or servicing the magazine.

The T64 uses 16 gauge straight finish nails from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches (25-65mm) long. The listed nail head diameter is approximately 2.8mm and the shank measures approximately 1.6mm × 1.4mm.
The recommended operating-pressure range is 70-120 PSI / 5-8.3 bar. Do not exceed the tool's rated operating pressure.
The T64 magazine holds up to 150 finish nails, helping reduce reload frequency during repetitive finish work.
A 16 gauge finish nailer is commonly used for baseboards, molding, window and door casing, cabinets, furniture, paneling, chair rails and other finish carpentry requiring stronger fastening than an 18 gauge brad.
A 16 gauge finish nail is thicker and generally provides more holding power. An 18 gauge brad leaves a smaller hole and is better suited to lighter, more delicate trim.
The T64 is a straight finish nailer designed for compatible straight 16 gauge finish nails.
No. The T64 is designed for 16 gauge straight finish nails. An 18 gauge brad has different dimensions and requires a compatible 18 gauge brad nailer.
No. 15 gauge angled nails differ in gauge and magazine geometry. Use only compatible 16 gauge straight finish nails within the T64's specified dimensional range.
Yes. The T64 has selectable sequential and contact actuation, allowing the firing mode to be selected according to the fastening task and operating procedure.
Disconnect the air hose first. The quick-release nose provides access to the driver and nail path so the jammed fastener can be inspected and removed. Reconnect the air supply only after the tool is correctly reassembled.
Possible causes include insufficient air pressure, air-line restriction, worn seals, inadequate lubrication, an incorrect nail specification or resistance from a harder work material. Check the tool within the specified 70-120 PSI range and inspect the nail and pneumatic system.
Frequent jams can be caused by incompatible or damaged nails, a worn driver, damaged driver guide, magazine misalignment or debris in the fastener path. Disconnect the air supply before inspection.
