| How to choose the right fastener for your tool and for your project |
| Grip-Rite's color-coded packaging and labeling takes the guesswork out of matching a fastener to a tool and a fastener to the project. |
|
| A color-coded band around the bottom of each box identifies the type of fastener (framing, roofing, finish, or staples). |
- Framing nails -Red band
- Roofing nails - Gray band
- Staples - Blue band
- Finishing Brads - Green band

| The background color of each Grip-Rite Collated Fastener label identifies what type of project the
fastener is designed for, while the label color stripe identifies the style of tool the fastener will fit. |

| The "new" treated lumber |
| Many woods are treated with chemicals to prevent rot and insect infestation, and these chemicals can also corrode
fasteners. Due to safety concerns, chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated lumber has been replaced by other
chemical lumber treatments, some of which appear to be more corrosive than the CCA-treatment. Only stainless
steel fasteners or fasteners that meet or exceed ASTM A 153 Class D for galvanization are recommended for
use with treated lumber. Look for the "Approved for Treated Lumber" starburst on Grip-Rite Collated Fasteners
approved for use with treated lumber. |
