For many common construction and repair tasks, a versatile hand-drive nail is essential. Huttig-Grip 2″ (6d) Hand Drive EG Smooth Nails, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, offer reliable performance for a range of interior and protected exterior applications. These are standard 6d nails, measuring 2 inches in length with a typical shank diameter around .113″ to .120″. They are designed for manual installation using a hammer.
The smooth shank of these nails allows for easy penetration into wood and other materials, making hand driving efficient. The Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish provides a thin protective layer of zinc, offering basic resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes them a suitable choice for interior projects where humidity or occasional moisture might be a concern, as well as for exterior applications that are fully sheltered from direct exposure to rain and prolonged wetness.
It is important to understand the limitations of the EG finish. While it offers more protection than a bright finish, Electro-Galvanized nails are generally not recommended for use with treated lumber (such as ACQ) or in exterior applications directly exposed to weather, as these conditions can accelerate corrosion. For such demanding environments, fasteners with hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel finishes are typically required.
Huttig-Grip is a trusted brand known for providing a comprehensive selection of quality fasteners for professional builders. These 2″ (6d) Hand Drive EG Smooth nails are typically sold by weight in common package sizes 25 lb, or 50 lb boxes or pails, providing flexibility for different project sizes. By choosing Huttig-Grip hand drive nails from A1A Wholesale Supply, contractors can have a dependable fastener on hand for various general-purpose applications requiring a 2-inch length and basic corrosion resistance.
