Every contractor needs a dependable supply of hand-drive nails for a variety of tasks, from intricate work to quick repairs. Huttig-Grip 1-1/4″ Hand Drive Smooth Shank Nails – EG Finish, offered by A1A Wholesale Supply, are a versatile and cost-effective choice for manual fastening. These nails are 1-1/4 inches long, a practical length for numerous applications, including those encountered by roofing professionals.

Featuring a smooth shank, these nails are designed for easy and consistent driving with a hammer, making installation quicker and less fatiguing for hand-drive applications. The typical shank diameter for this size is around .120 inches (often referred to as 11 gauge), providing ample strength for general fastening.

The Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish provides a thin layer of zinc coating, offering basic protection against rust and corrosion. This makes them suitable for interior use and exterior applications in moderate climates where the fasteners are not exposed to prolonged or severe moisture, salt spray, or corrosive elements. It is important to note that the EG finish is not recommended for use with treated lumber (such as ACQ) or in harsh exterior or coastal environments, as these conditions can lead to premature corrosion. For applications requiring higher corrosion resistance, fasteners with hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel finishes should be used.

These Huttig-Grip hand-drive nails typically feature a large head (around 5/16″ to 3/8″ in diameter), which provides a good bearing surface to resist pull-through in softer materials like roofing felt or insulation board. Their versatility makes them useful for a range of tasks beyond primary shingle installation, such as securing underlayment, attaching flashing, performing roof repairs, or various general carpentry applications in protected or moderate outdoor environments.
