Choosing the perfect gift for your favorite contractor or DIY enthusiast can be tricky, especially if you’re not up on the latest trends. You could just go with gift cards to a hardware store, but that lacks a personal touch. We’ve compiled the Grip-Rite® Gift Guide to help you find the right gift for your pro.
With our help, your gifting just got easier!
Updating your deck is one of the best ways to bring a clean and modern look to your outdoor spaces. Traditional fastener systems are effective but leave much to be desired regarding overall aesthetics. Replacing worn-out wooden deck boards with grooved composite decking can prolong the life of your deck, and the correct fasteners can make all the difference.
Grip-Rite Ninja™ Hidden Deck Clips are the perfect solution. We’ve engineered this fastener system to replace traditional fasteners in grooved deck boards for ultimate durability and flexibility. They support complex patterns and work seamlessly with most leading composite grooved deck boards.
Packed with innovative features that make installation fast and easy, they will surely be a hit under the tree.
In some parts of the country, winter-time is the perfect time to prepare outdoor spaces for gardening in the spring. Designing a pest-resistant garden is best done in the off-season, and Grip-Rite® hardware cloth is an eco-friendly way to keep gardens and coops protected in the coming spring.
Hardware cloth comes in various sizes, heights, and lengths to meet the needs of any project. It is a quick fix for keeping squirrels out of the garden, deer off the lawn, or predators out of the chicken coop. Available in galvanized or vinyl coated, Grip-Rite® hardware cloth resists corrosion and is strong enough to protect the spaces that matter.
If you’re looking for something for a pro who spends their days framing, roofing, or building with a nailer in hand, look no further. Tools in our RED System are backed by the Grip-Rite® name and have a 7-year warranty.
Our 21° Framing Nailer is a lightweight and powerful tool for long work days. It’s durable and meant for all-day use with features that make operation easy. Fast loading from the top or back of the magazine and a short body to fit between 16” O.C. studs make it ideal for framing applications. A selectable trigger toggles quickly between sequential and bump mode, and the dry fire lockout prevents damage.
The tool also comes with a complete accessories kit, including eye protection, a removable no-mar pad, and a swivel air plug.
Pair with the Grip-Rite® 21° plastic strip collated round head nails for best results.
Renovating around the home during winter is a fantastic way to stave off boredom. Minor updates are often enough to bring a fresh look to the interior of a house. Painting is one of the easiest ways to brighten up a dingy space, but damage to flooring from spills is a costly byproduct.
Instead of relying on plastic products, embrace a more eco-friendly approach with eco-friendly floor protection from Grip-Rite®. Rosin paper, or builder’s paper, is designed to protect floors and cabinetry from paint, dirt, spills, and some impact during renovation.
More robust builder’s board or synthetic floor protection replaces less convenient products and protects against impacts and spills. Reusable and made from recycled materials, these floor protection options are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic sheeting or tarps.
If your special person is trying to emulate their favorite projects from the ‘Gram, fasteners will likely be involved at some point. The right tools are essential, but the project can fall flat without reliable, function-specific fasteners.
Grip-Rite® construction screws are ideal for any non-structural interior building project. Projects ranging from framing a cabinet to installing trim or shelving are perfect for these fasteners. Self-drilling points and a star drive connection make them a must-have for any builder.
No pre-drilling is necessary with these screws, which means faster project completion and more enjoyment of the finished product.
When projects require serious power, pneumatic tools are the go-to option for most contractors and DIYers. Battery-operated tools are convenient but can run out of juice long before the project is complete. An air compressor is the best way to power a project consistently for maximum efficiency.
If you’ve used an air compressor before, you know that they’re notoriously loud. Given that many winter projects are indoors, the Grip-Rite® 1.5 gallon ultra-quiet compressor is ideal.
Relatively light at 34 pounds, this powerful compressor operates at 60 dB, or around the level of a normal conversation. It’s considered a safe volume for long-term exposure and is perfect for trim work, assembly, or framing without the earache.
Packed with features that make it DIY friendly, the compressor is powerful enough to run up to three pneumatic tools simultaneously!
