Draper Air Nailer, 10 - 50mm

A Dedicated Brad Nailer for Trim, Joinery, and Finishing Work

The Draper DAT-ANK2050 is a dedicated air-powered brad nailer designed for tradespeople, joiners, and DIY users who need a reliable, comfortable tool for second-fix and finishing tasks. With a quality cast aluminium housing, ergonomic soft grip handle, and built-in safety features, it delivers a considered balance of performance, comfort, and protection in a single compact package — supplied ready to use in its own heavy-duty carry case.

Quality Cast Aluminium Construction

The tool is housed in a cast aluminium body designed to balance strength with manageable weight. At just 1.4kg, the DAT-ANK2050 is light enough to use comfortably for extended periods — whether you're working overhead on ceiling trim, along long runs of skirting and architrave, or assembling cabinet carcasses. The soft grip handle further enhances comfort and helps to reduce hand fatigue over the course of a job.

Drives Brad Nails from 10 to 50mm

The DAT-ANK2050 is built to drive 18 gauge brad nails from 10mm right up to 50mm in length, with a 2mm head and a shank measuring 1.25mm wide and 1.05mm thick. That range covers the bulk of typical finishing work — from light beading and trim into thin timber through to deeper fixings into thicker stock such as door frames, skirting, and panelled walls. The slim brad head leaves a small, easy-to-fill hole, keeping finished work looking clean.

Built-In Safety Features

The nailer is fitted with a safety bump mechanism that helps prevent accidental firing — a practical safeguard when working at pace or moving the tool between fixings. A safety latch mechanism adds a further layer of protection, so the tool only fires when you intend it to. Together, these features help to reduce the risk of misfires and the kind of accidents that can happen with less considered air tools.

Smooth-Loading Nail Holder

The integrated nail holder is designed for quick, smooth loading of brad strips, helping to keep workflow moving when you're working through long runs of fixings. Combined with the light cast aluminium body and ergonomic grip, the result is a tool that feels considered in the hand from the first fixing to the last.

Efficient Air Consumption

With an average air consumption of just 0.26cfm (0.75L/min) and an operating pressure of 75–100psi, the DAT-ANK2050 is undemanding on the compressor — even modest workshop compressors will keep up comfortably with sustained use. A 1/4" BSP air inlet makes for straightforward connection to standard workshop airline setups, with a minimum recommended hose size of 3/8" (10mm).

Stored in a Heavy-Duty Carry Case

The nailer is supplied in a robust heavy-duty storage case, keeping the tool protected between uses and easy to transport between jobs, vehicles, or workshops — a worthwhile detail for tradespeople who move kit around regularly.
