Even with the prevalence of pneumatic tools, hand-drive nails remain an essential fastener for many specific applications and general construction tasks. Huttig-Grip 1″ Hand Drive EG Smooth Fasteners, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, provide a reliable option for manual fastening. These nails are 1 inch in length, a common size used for securing thinner materials to wood substrates.
Constructed from durable steel, these fasteners feature a smooth shank. This design allows for easy penetration when hammered manually, making installation quicker and less fatiguing in appropriate materials. The Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish provides a protective zinc coating that offers basic resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes the nails suitable for interior applications or exterior use in very mild or protected environments where prolonged exposure to moisture is not expected. It’s important to note that Electro-Galvanized fasteners are generally not recommended for use with treated lumber or in severe outdoor or coastal conditions, where more robust corrosion protection is required by building codes.
These 1″ hand drive EG smooth nails are commonly used in roofing for fastening roofing felt or insulation board to the roof deck before the primary roofing material is installed. They may also be used for fastening asphalt shingles in repair work or areas where a nail gun is not practical, provided the application is suitable for an EG finish. Huttig-Grip is a trusted brand known for providing a comprehensive range of fasteners for the construction industry. These hand-drive nails are typically available in standard box quantities, often sold by weight (e.g., 1 lb or 5 lb boxes) or by count. By choosing Huttig-Grip 1″ Hand Drive EG Smooth fasteners from A1A Wholesale Supply, contractors can rely on a simple, effective, and dependable fastener for their manual fastening needs.
