Grip-Rite Coarse Thread Drywall Screws are intended for attaching drywall to wood studs. The sharp point cuts smoothly through gypsum board without pre-drilling or damaging the substrate, and the bugle head countersinks flush with the wall surface for a seamless finish ready to tape. The black phosphate coating speeds the drive, enhances grip, and helps joint compound adhere to the head. Meant for indoor applications with untreated wood.
