Do It 702226 Drywall Screw 6x1-5/8 Fine Thread 1 Lb Box

Product Description

The DO IT 702226 is a fine-thread drywall screw designed for smooth driving and strong holding power across a range of interior fastening applications. The standard bugle head profile with a No. 2 Phillips recess allows consistent countersinking without tearing drywall facing. Each screw is constructed of hardened steel produced through heat treatment, quenching, and further reheating, resulting in a fastener that resists wear, corrosion, and abrasion. The phosphate finish provides additional surface protection. Sold in a 1-pound box, this screw is sized at 6 x 1-5/8 inches and is installed by drywall finishers, framers, and general contractors.

This screw is intended for interior use and is suitable for attaching drywall to wood framing and to 20- to 25-gauge metal studs. It can also be used for drywall hardware, plywood, and softwood substrates. The fine thread design engages metal stud flanges effectively and pulls drywall panels tight without over-driving. This makes it a practical choice for residential and light commercial interior wall and ceiling assemblies where a reliable, general-purpose fastener is required.

This screw is rated for interior use only and should not be used in exterior or moisture-exposed assemblies. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth into framing members.
