Hillman Fasteners 40904 Drywall Screw 75 Pack Fine Thread

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40904 is a coarse-bugle-head drywall screw designed for fastening drywall panels to wood framing. Each screw measures No. 6 diameter by 1-5/8 inches in length and features a fine thread pattern, a flat bugle head profile, and a No. 2 Phillips drive recess. The phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior drywall applications. Made from hardened steel, these screws are engineered to set cleanly through gypsum board without tearing the paper face. The pack contains 75 screws, making it a practical quantity for small to mid-size drywall repairs or installation runs.

These drywall screws are suited for residential and light commercial interior work where 1-5/8 inch fasteners are the standard call. The 1-5/8 inch length is a common choice for attaching half-inch or five-eighths-inch drywall panels to wood studs. Drywall installers, finish carpenters, and general contractors keep this size on hand for board hanging, patch work, and backing installation. The fine thread design grips wood framing securely without splitting or over-driving.

Key Features

• No. 6 x 1-5/8 inch size — standard length for attaching half-inch and five-eighths-inch drywall to wood framing
• Fine thread pattern for secure bite into wood studs
• Flat bugle head profile seats flush without tearing drywall face paper
• No. 2 Phillips recess compatible with standard drywall screw guns and bit tips
• Phosphate finish for interior corrosion resistance
• Hardened steel construction resists cam-out and breakage during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use drywall fastener for interior drywall installation to wood framing using standard No. 2 Phillips drywall screw guns or drills.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws of this type are installed by drywall hangers and finish carpenters using a drywall screw gun set to the correct clutch depth to prevent over-driving. Drive each screw until the head sits just below the drywall surface without breaking through the face paper. Do not use these fine-thread screws in metal framing, which requires coarse or self-drilling thread variants. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing on wall and ceiling assemblies.
