Every roofing project requires dependable hand-drive fasteners for various critical tasks, and Huttig-Grip 1-1/2″ Hand Drive EG Smooth Roofing Nails are built to meet the demands of professional roofing contractors. Offered by A1A Wholesale Supply in practical 30lb buckets and economical 50lb boxes, these nails are essential for a wide range of hand-nailing applications on the roof.

Measuring 1-1/2 inches in length, these nails provide the necessary penetration for securely fastening asphalt shingles, roofing felt, and insulation board to wood roof decks. The smooth shank design allows for easy and efficient driving by hand, ensuring quick and consistent installation.

These hand-drive roofing nails feature an Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish, which provides a layer of zinc for basic protection against rust and corrosion. This makes them suitable for general exterior roofing applications in moderate climates. However, like all EG fasteners, they are not recommended for use in corrosive environments such as coastal areas with salt exposure or when fastening into chemically treated lumber (like ACQ), as these conditions can accelerate corrosion. For such applications, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel roofing nails should be used.

Huttig-Grip is a trusted national brand known for its commitment to quality and reliability in construction fasteners. These 1-1/2″ Hand Drive Roofing Nails are manufactured to industry standards, typically featuring an 11-gauge (.120″) shank diameter and a large, flat head (approximately 7/16″ in diameter). The generously sized head is crucial for roofing applications as it provides a large bearing surface that effectively prevents roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles and felt, from tearing or pulling over the nail head, ensuring a strong and lasting hold.

Available in bulk 30lb buckets (containing approximately 5,820 nails) and 50lb boxes (containing approximately 9,700 nails), these hand-drive roofing nails offer flexibility and value for roofing contractors. The sturdy packaging ensures the nails are protected and easily accessible on the job site. Whether for starter courses, flashing details, hip and ridge cap shingles, repair work, or areas where a pneumatic nailer cannot reach, Huttig-Grip 1-1/2″ Hand Drive EG Smooth Roofing Nails are an indispensable fastener for any roofing professional’s toolkit.
