When your exterior fastening jobs require the control and precision of hand driving, and the durability to withstand the elements, Huttig-Grip 1-1/4″ Hand Drive Nails – HDG Finish, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, deliver reliable performance. These 1-1/4 inch nails are a versatile length suitable for a wide range of outdoor fastening tasks encountered by roofing contractors and general builders.

The defining characteristic of these nails is their Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) finish. This process involves dipping the steel fasteners in molten zinc, creating a thicker and more durable protective coating than electro-galvanization. This provides significant resistance to rust and corrosion, making these nails ideal for exposed exterior applications and crucial for use with modern treated lumber, which can be corrosive to fasteners with less robust coatings.

Huttig-Grip offers 1-1/4″ HDG hand drive nails that may feature either a smooth shank or a ring shank.

• Smooth Shank: Provides easier driving with a hammer, which can be beneficial for speed and reducing fatigue during manual installation.
• Ring Shank: Features annular threads that significantly increase withdrawal resistance, providing a stronger hold that is particularly valuable in exterior applications subject to wind, expansion, and contraction. For many demanding outdoor uses, including aspects of roofing like securing flashing or trim where pull-out is a concern, ring shank is often preferred for its enhanced holding power.

These hand drive nails typically have a robust shank diameter (often around .120 inches, correlating to an 11 gauge) and a large head (such as a flat or checkered head, commonly around 5/16″ to 3/8″ in diameter). This construction provides good strength and ample bearing surface to prevent pull-through of the fastened material.

Huttig-Grip is a trusted brand known for supplying quality fasteners designed for professional use. These 1-1/4″ Hand Drive HDG Nails are commonly available in bulk 30lb buckets and 50lb boxes, providing ample supply for large projects and ensuring contractors have the fasteners they need on hand. With approximately 196 to 209 nails per pound (depending on the exact gauge and head size), a 30lb bucket contains roughly 5,880 to 6,270 nails, and a 50lb box contains approximately 9,800 to 10,450 nails. By choosing Huttig-Grip HDG hand drive nails from A1A Wholesale Supply, contractors can be confident in using fasteners that offer superior corrosion resistance and reliable performance for all their exterior hand-fastening needs.
