A drywall screw is a specialized fastener with a sharp point, deep threads, and a bugle-shaped head, designed to securely attach drywall (gypsum board) to wood or metal studs, providing strong holding power without tearing the paper surface for a flush finish. They're usually made of hardened steel, often with a black phosphate coating for rust resistance, and come in coarse (for wood) or fine (for metal) threads, with specific lengths for different drywall thicknesses. | |||
