I think so.
I got tired of stocking galv and non galv and SS in every form of fastner..nails, screws, staples..blah. I pretty much only use galv/ss anymore..less inventory to keep sorted.
Poprivets were the worst. white alum, brn alum, and copper for dounspouts and such...spray paint to the rescue! LOL.
