Drywall Wood Self-Tapping Screw

Self-tapping screws for drywall and wood are fasteners used for repair and finishing works.

It looks like a screw with a pointed tip that drives easily into the surface. The heads vary in shape: round, countersunk, pan with pressed washer, hex, and others.

Self-tapping screws are made of steel with an oxide coating, which gives them a characteristic black color. Their corrosion resistance is low, so such self-tapping screws should only be used for interior works. Main dimensions: length 9.5–75 mm, diameter 3.5–4.2 mm.

How to use

When working with drywall, there’s no need to pre-drill holes — the material is soft, and the fastener screws in easily with a screwdriver or power driver. The same applies to thin wood sheets. When working with wider or denser surfaces, it’s better to pre-drill the hole.
