Metal Roofing Screws 12 x 1-1/2 in Pewter Gray - Re-Grip Case

In this review the focus is on a bulk option for roof and siding repairs: a case of metal roofing screws sold as 1,500 pieces in pewter gray. The bottom line is simple: this set is for contractors, restorers of outbuildings, and DIYers who need a reliable, direct replacement for failed nails or loose fasteners. The key reason to buy is the Re-Grip design combined with a 5/8 in EPDM washer that helps restore a watertight seal while the 1/4 in hex head provides good torque and grip when driving into wood.

Key Features

• Re-Grip design: Replaces failed nails or loose screws and lets installers secure existing roofing or siding without overdriving or stripping old holes.
• EPDM washer: The ~5/8 in washer creates a durable seal around the head to reduce leaks and improve weather resistance on roof panels.
• Sharp point: The sharp point is optimized for metal-to-wood applications so the screw starts easily and cuts a reliable thread in wood substrates.
• 1/4 in hex head: The hex head allows higher torque with common drivers, improving installation speed on large jobs.
• Polyurethane coat: The pewter gray coating is intended to closely match many roofing colors and resist corrosion in typical exterior conditions.
• Bulk packaging: Supplied as a case of six bags (1,500 screws total), which keeps jobs moving without frequent reordering.

Who It's For

This product is best suited for roofing contractors, maintenance crews, and homeowners repairing barns, metal roofs, or siding where original nails or small screws have loosened. The quantity and case packaging are convenient for multi-unit jobs or for keeping a ready supply for seasonal repairs.

Those who need specialty coated fasteners for coastal or highly corrosive environments should consider stainless or specially rated fasteners instead, and people who need painted-matched screws exactly to a manufacturer color may find slight color variation from the polyurethane coating.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value per piece for large projects due to the 1,500-screw case packaging.
• Effective seal from the 5/8 in EPDM washer, which customers report helps stop leaks.
• Re-Grip and sharp point perform well when replacing nails or loose fasteners in wood.
• The 1/4 in hex head speeds installation with less chance of cam-out.

Cons

• Color is polyurethane coated and may vary slightly from roofing manufacturers colors, so exact paint match is not guaranteed.
• Not specified as stainless; for the most corrosive coastal sites, a different finish may be preferred.
