Hillman Fasteners 40908 Flat Head Drywall Screws 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40908 is a 50-count pack of No. 6 x 2.25-inch flat head drywall screws suited for interior wall and ceiling assemblies. These screws are sized for attaching standard and thicker drywall panels to wood or light-gauge steel framing. The flat head profile seats flush at the panel surface, reducing the need for excessive joint compound to conceal the fastener. At 2.25 inches in length, these screws provide adequate thread engagement for single-layer and some double-layer drywall applications. The pack weighs 1.65 pounds, making it a practical jobsite quantity for focused repairs or smaller finishing runs.

These drywall screws are intended for residential and light commercial interior construction. Typical applications include hanging 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch gypsum board on wood stud walls, ceiling joists, or metal framing. They are installed by drywall hangers and finish carpenters using a screw gun or variable-speed drill with a dimpler attachment. The 50-count XL package format is practical for repair kits, punch-list work, or supplementing larger fastener supplies on active job sites.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws are installed by drywall hangers or finish carpenters using a screw gun or variable-speed drill fitted with a dimpler bit. Drive screws to a consistent depth that creates a slight dimple in the drywall face paper without breaking through. Follow local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer spacing requirements for fastener placement. Do not overdrive screws, as breaking the face paper reduces holding strength and requires additional patching.
