Why Grip-Rite dominates the contractor-bulk fastener aisle
The pallet-pricing brand
Grip-Rite is owned by PrimeSource Building Products and is purpose-built for production crews who measure fasteners in cases, not boxes. The 7,200-count case of 1-1/4" hot-dipped galvanized coil nails has been a roofing-supply staple for 25+ years.
The economics: at production volume, Grip-Rite typically lands 20–35% cheaper per-nail than the same length and shank in a Bostitch- or Maze-branded box.
Coatings: HDG vs electro-galvanized
Grip-Rite roofing coil nails come in two coatings: hot-dipped galvanized (HDG) and electro-galvanized (EG). HDG is the spec you want for shingle work — thicker zinc layer, longer rust life. EG is fine for short-life applications like temporary underlayment cap nails.
For coastal or cedar, neither HDG nor EG will hold up — switch to stainless.
Compatibility with every major coil roofer
Every Grip-Rite coil roofing nail is 15° wire-collated to the standard pattern. They feed cleanly through every major brand: Bostitch, MAX, Metabo HPT, DeWalt, and Senco.
