Do It 702242 Drywall Screw 6x1-1/4 Inch Fine Thread 1 Lb

Product Description

The DO IT 702242 is a fine-thread bugle-head drywall screw designed for reliable fastening in gypsum board, plywood, softwood, and light-gauge metal framing. Constructed from hardened carbon steel that has been heat-treated, quenched, and reheated, this screw delivers exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion. The No. 2 Phillips recess drive provides positive bit engagement during installation, while the fine thread promotes smooth driving and strong holding power in 20- to 25-gauge metal studs as well as wood substrates. Each box contains approximately 1 pound of screws in a 6 x 1-1/4 inch size. The phosphate finish aids lubrication during driving and provides a base layer of corrosion resistance for interior applications.

This screw is suited for interior residential and light commercial construction work. Primary applications include attaching drywall panels to wood framing and 20- to 25-gauge metal studs. The fastener is also appropriate for securing drywall hardware, plywood, and softwood components. It is intended for interior use only and is a standard go-to fastener for drywall installers, framers, and general contractors working on partition walls, ceilings, and similar assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by drywall installers or carpenters using a screw gun or drill driver set to the appropriate depth-sensitive clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Power down all electrical circuits in the work area before fastening near electrical boxes or conduit runs. Screw spacing and pattern should follow applicable building codes and drywall manufacturer guidelines. These screws are rated for interior use only and should not be used in exterior or moisture-exposed applications.
