⁷⁄₁₆” Drywall Framing Screws 100pcs

Drywall Screws – Bugle Head Design for Flawless Drywall Installation

These Black Thread Drywall Screws are the fundamental fastener for professional and reliable interior construction. The coarse thread is specifically optimized for secure and rapid gripping into wood studs, providing exceptional holding power. Supplied in a convenient 100-piece pack, they are ideal for small-to-medium drywall installation or repair jobs.

The most critical design feature is the bugle head. This unique shape countersinks perfectly without tearing the gypsum board’s paper surface, creating a clean, shallow dimple that is ideal for applying and finishing with joint compound (mud). The black phosphate finish provides necessary corrosion resistance for interior use until the screws are covered and painted.

Key Benefits

• Bugle Head Design: Gently countersinks into drywall, preventing paper tear-out and creating a perfect depression for joint compound finishing.

• Coarse Thread: Optimized for fast driving and secure, strong hold into wood studs and framing.

• High Volume: Conveniently supplied in a pack of 100 pieces for small to medium projects.

• 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.

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

• For maximum holding power, screws should penetrate the wood stud by at least 5/8 inch beyond the total thickness of the gypsum board.

• Use a magnetic bit holder to simplify driving screws in awkward positions.

• Coarse thread is best for wood; use fine thread drywall screws for metal framing.

• Check the torque setting on the drill to prevent over-driving and stripping the screw.
