The Type 17 point pierces wood and metal studs ranging from 26 to 20 gauge without predrilling, while the high-low thread design drives cleanly through dense cement board material. An epoxy coating provides corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including use with treated wood. Each package includes a free T20 Pro-Stik driver bit designed for stable one-hand operation. Tile setters, flooring installers, and general contractors rely on these screws for backerboard prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese screws are recommended for use with 1\/2-inch cement board fastened to wood or light-gauge metal stud framing. One 140-piece package provides enough screws to install six 3-foot by 5-foot boards. The twist shank design clears debris during driving to reduce the risk of board cracking. The textured head promotes mortar adhesion after installation, making these a practical choice for tile substrate preparation in kitchens, bathrooms, and other wet or high-humidity areas. Compatible with all major cement board brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 17 point pierces wood and light-gauge metal studs (20 to 26 gauge) without predrilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-low thread design drives fast and clean through dense cement board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwist shank clears debris and reduces the risk of board cracking during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTextured head improves mortar adhesion for tile substrate applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEpoxy coating provides corrosion resistance for interior and exterior use, including treated wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes one free T20 Pro-Stik driver bit for stable single-hand driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable and stackable plastic packaging for jobsite convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with all cement board brands.
