drywall screws

Gypsum board hardware

Drywall screws are fasteners designed specifically for attaching drywall panels to wood or metal studs.

They have coarse threads, a bugle-shaped head that sits flush without tearing the paper surface, and a sharp point for self-starting.

The Phillips drive and black phosphate coating are standard: I need another box of drywall screws to finish the basement.
