These are the perfect brads for most of my projects.  I use them with my Bostich nail gun that came with my air compressor.  These are easy to load and fun to shoot into wood.  These are for light weight projects and not for heavy construction.  I make shelving out of thin boards to display my hand made soaps, and I also make wooden soap molds.  These 1" brads hold everything together very well, and are super easy to use.  One package of these should last a long time since there are 1000 brads.
