Hillman Fasteners 41875 Drywall Screws 6x1.625 in 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 41875 is a 50-count pack of Star Drive drywall screws sized at 6 x 1.625 inches. These screws are engineered for securing drywall panels to wood or light-gauge steel framing. The Star Drive recess provides a higher torque transfer than a Phillips head, reducing cam-out during installation. At 1.625 inches in length, they are suited for standard single-layer drywall applications. The pack contains 50 screws and ships at 1.45 pounds, making it a practical quantity for small jobs or supplemental stock.

These drywall screws are used in residential and light commercial interior finishing work. Typical applications include hanging half-inch or five-eighths-inch drywall panels to wood studs or light-gauge metal framing. They are installed by drywall hangers, finish carpenters, and general contractors. The Star Drive head style requires a matching Star Drive bit, which provides consistent drive depth and reduces overdriving on standard screw guns and variable-speed drills.

Key Features

• 1.625-inch length suits standard single-layer drywall hanging applications
• 50-screw pack provides a practical quantity for targeted use or stock replenishment

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall hangers or finish carpenters using a screw gun or variable-speed drill fitted with a matching Star Drive bit. Set the clutch depth to avoid overdriving and breaking the drywall paper face. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing, which typically reference IRC or applicable residential construction standards. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving fasteners overhead.
