Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Keep a small box of cap nails in the truck for tear-off repairs and re-securing loose felt before shingling. The 1-1/4 in. ring shank length is right for single-layer underlayment over decking; step up in length if fastening over rigid insulation. Drive caps flush so they do not telegraph through the finished roof.
Handle with gloves; cap edges and nail points are sharp, and wear eye protection when driving fasteners.
Pick up a 3 lb. box of Grip-Rite 1-1/4 in. Grip-Cap ring shank metal cap nails for repairs and small roofing jobs.
