Hillman Fasteners 40872 Drywall Screw 100 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40872 is a coarse-thread drywall screw designed for attaching gypsum wallboard to wood framing. Each screw features a flat bugle head that seats flush with the drywall surface without tearing the paper facing, a No. 2 Phillips recess for consistent driver engagement, and a phosphate finish that reduces friction during installation and provides basic corrosion resistance. The hardened steel construction gives these fasteners the strength needed to pull through drywall and bite firmly into wood studs. This package contains 100 screws, sized at No. 6 diameter by 1-1/4 inches in length, making them well suited for single-layer half-inch or five-eighths-inch drywall applications.

These screws are a standard choice on residential and light commercial drywall installations. Framers, drywall hangers, and finish carpenters reach for this size when fastening wallboard to wood framing members. The 1-1/4-inch length provides sufficient thread penetration into the framing without punching through the opposite face of standard dimensional lumber. The 100-count pack is appropriate for smaller drywall patches, repair work, or supplementing larger jobs where the fastener count runs short.

Key Features

• Flat bugle head seats flush with drywall face without damaging paper facing
• Coarse thread designed to grip wood framing efficiently
• No. 2 Phillips recess compatible with standard drywall screw guns and drill drivers
• Phosphate finish reduces installation friction and provides light corrosion resistance

• 100 screws per package for patch work and small-volume applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard coarse-thread drywall screw for fastening gypsum wallboard to wood framing members in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall hangers and carpenters using an electric drywall screw gun or drill driver set to the appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving. Drive each screw until the bugle head is just below the drywall surface without breaking through the paper facing. Follow local building codes and manufacturer recommendations for fastener spacing, typically defined by the applicable building code for the assembly type. Do not use coarse-thread drywall screws in metal framing — use fine-thread screws for metal stud applications.
