Bsc Preferred 730249 Drywall Screw 6x1-1/4 Coarse Thread 1 Lb

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 730249 is a coarse-thread drywall screw sold in a 1-pound box. The screw measures No. 6 diameter by 1-1/4 inches in length and features a bugle head with a No. 2 Phillips recess drive. The sharp point drives cleanly through drywall panels without pre-drilling. Construction is hardened steel produced through heat treatment and quenching, resulting in a fastener that resists wear, corrosion, and abrasion. A phosphate finish provides additional surface protection. Intended for interior applications only.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial interior work. Typical applications include fastening drywall to wood studs, attaching plywood to framing, and securing composition board or softwood substrates. The coarse thread pattern bites aggressively into wood framing, pulling the panel tight to the stud face with minimal blowout. The bugle head countersinks flush without tearing the drywall facing paper when driven correctly.
