Fine Thread Drywall Screws Self Cutting 100pcs

Description

Fine Thread Drywall Screws – Self Cutting 100pcs (1¼” & 2″) Fine Thread Drywall Screws – Bugle Head, Fine Thread for Metal Framing Installation These Fine Thread Drywall Screws are the essential fasteners for professional drywall installation over light-gauge metal framing. The fine thread construction is specifically engineered to “self-cut” and hold reliably into thin steel studs, providing exceptional holding power and preventing stripping, a common issue when fastening to metal. The available lengths, 1-1/4″ and 2″, cover both standard single-layer (1-1/4″) and heavier double-layer applications (2″). The screw features the critical bugle head design, which countersinks perfectly without tearing the gypsum board’s paper surface, creating a clean, shallow dimple that is ideal for joint compound finishing. The black phosphate finish provides necessary corrosion resistance for interior use until the screws are covered and painted. Supplied in a convenient 100-piece box (per size), they are ready for high-volume use. Key Benefits Fine Thread Optimization: Engineered for secure, reliable holding power and self-tapping into light-gauge metal studs/framing. Bugle Head Design: Gently countersinks into drywall, preventing paper tear-out and creating a perfect depression for joint compound finishing. Versatile Lengths: Includes 1-1/4″ (for single layer) and 2″ (for double layer or thicker board). Fast Self-Starting: Sharp needle point allows for quick penetration without the need for pre-drilling. Phosphate Finish: Black phosphate coating provides necessary corrosion resistance for interior applications until covered. Technical Specifications Product Type: Drywall Screw (Fine Thread) Lengths Available: 1-1/4 inches and 2 inches Quantity: 100 Pieces (per size) Head Type: Bugle Head Thread Type: Fine (Optimized for Metal Framing) Point Type: Sharp Needle Point Finish: Black Phosphate Material: Hardened Steel Grade: Construction/Interior Finish Perfect For Securing standard 1/2″ or 5/8″ gypsum board panels to metal studs. Interior wall and ceiling installation on metal framing. Commercial interior construction projects. Remodeling projects requiring fast, reliable fastening to steel. Application Instructions Driving: Use a power drill or screw gun with a Phillips driver bit. Setting Depth: Drive the screw until the bugle head dimples the paper surface slightly without breaking the paper entirely (use a dedicated dimpler attachment for consistent depth). Joint Compound: Cover the dimpled head with joint compound during the taping and finishing stages. Safety: Wear safety glasses during installation. Pro Tips Fine thread is mandatory for metal studs; using coarse thread will strip the stud hole. Use a magnetic bit holder to simplify driving screws in awkward positions. Check the torque setting on the drill to prevent over-driving and stripping the threads in the thin metal stud. Ensure the screw penetrates the metal stud by at least 3/8 inch beyond the drywall thickness for a secure hold.
