Hillman Fasteners 39290 Drywall Screw 6x1-5/8 in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 39290 is a No. 6 x 1-5/8 inch fine-thread drywall screw designed for fastening drywall panels to wood or light-gauge steel studs. Constructed from hardened steel, it delivers the shear strength and corrosion resistance needed for interior wall and ceiling assemblies. The Phillips bugle head drives flush with the drywall face without tearing the paper, allowing for a clean skim-coat finish. Each pack contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for single-room or multi-room drywall installation projects. This fastener is installed by drywall hangers, finish carpenters, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial projects.

This screw is suited for standard 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch drywall applications where a fine-thread fastener is required. Fine-thread screws are the correct choice when fastening into metal framing, as the tighter thread pitch engages light-gauge steel studs more effectively than coarse-thread variants. They also perform reliably in wood framing applications. The 1-5/8 inch length provides adequate penetration depth for single-layer drywall installation on both wood and metal substrates.

Key Features

• No. 6 x 1-5/8 inch fine thread for reliable engagement in wood and light-gauge metal framing
• Hardened steel construction for consistent drive performance and shear strength
• Phillips bugle head seats flush without damaging drywall face paper
• Fine thread pitch optimized for light-gauge steel stud applications
• 100-count pack suitable for single-room drywall installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supply-stock fine-thread drywall screw compatible with typical residential and light commercial drywall installations using wood or light-gauge metal framing.

Installation Notes

Install with a screw gun or drill-driver set to the appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving and dimpling the drywall surface. Proper fastener depth leaves the head just below the surface without breaking the face paper. Follow local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing, typically 12 to 16 inches on center for field screws. No power shutdown is required for this fastener, but standard PPE including eye protection is recommended when operating power tools.
