Construction Nails

When you need strong construction nails with enhanced corrosion resistance, turn to Grip-Rite®. As your trusted partner for delivering reliable construction tools, we offer the best construction nails to meet your unique project demands.

Features and Benefits

Every Grip-Rite® construction nail is engineered for a durable hold and faster installation. Our nails feature:

  • Strong base material for superior performance.
  • Diamond point for reduced splitting.
  • Flat heads for easier driving.
  • Larger shanks for reduced pull-out.

We understand that no two construction projects are alike, so we have created nails with varying specifications.

Two head styles:

  • Flat head: This design makes for faster installations with reduced hammer slippage.
  • Round head: The round head provides enhanced holding power.

Different shank styles:

  • Ring shank: It has rings around the shank for greater grip.
  • Smooth shank: It offers a swift, frictionless installation.

Coating options:

  • Galvanized: We use hot-dipped and electrogalvanized coating options for strong rust resistance.
  • Bright: This is an aesthetically pleasing finish suitable for construction with limited exposure to elements.

Types of Construction Nails 

We categorize nails according to their functionality. To help you find the best nail for your construction project, here is our breakdown.

Roofing Nails

As the name suggests, these nails are perfect for roofing projects. They conform to ASTM F1667 standards, so you can use our roofing nails for joining asphalt shingles, felt or insulation boards. The steel construction and wide head ensure you have a lasting roofing connection.

Box Nails

Suitable for both exterior and interior use, our box nails play a significant role in construction projects using thinner woods. The main reason is that these general construction nails have a smooth, thin shank, which offers reduced wood splitting. These nails come in lengths from 1 inch to 3 1/2 inches.

Masonry Nails

When you need to join various materials like wood to concrete or mortar, our masonry nails are the ideal nail choice. We have cut masonry nails, which contractors use to connect concrete subflooring. However, you would buy our metal round cap masonry nails when you want to join foam insulation to masonry.

Common Nail

The Grip-Rite® Common Nail has a construction similar to a box nail, but with a thicker shank. Our common nails have gauge values as low as two, meaning you get reduced pull-out rates. Our common nails have a bright coating for use in places where corrosion is not a concern. We also offer hot-dipped galvanized coating for applications that require rust resistance.
