Zeus #6 x 1 Inch Fine Thread Drywall Screws 5lb Box Black Phosphate Coated Sharp Point Reduced Phillips Bugle Head Fasteners Light Gauge Metal Studs

Precision Fastening for Professional Metal Stud Drywall Installations

The Zeus #6 x 1-inch Fine Thread Drywall Screws are the industrial standard for securing interior gypsum panels to light-gauge metal studs. Engineered for maximum efficiency, these fasteners feature a specialized fine thread pattern that provides superior grip and high-torque stability in steel framing. Whether you are installing 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch Sheetrock in a commercial office space or a residential basement with metal tracks, these screws deliver the reliable holding power required for a lasting, crack-free finish. The black phosphate coating not only ensures a smoother drive but also serves as a protective barrier against corrosion while providing an ideal surface for drywall mud and joint compound adhesion.

Designed with the professional installer in mind, these screws utilize a #2 Reduced Phillips Bugle Head. This specific design allows the fastener to sit perfectly flush or slightly recessed without tearing the delicate face paper of the drywall, significantly reducing the time spent on patching and sanding. The ultra-sharp point enables immediate surface penetration, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and reducing worker fatigue during high-volume hanging. Built from high-strength carbon steel, this 5 lb. bulk box provides the durability and piece count necessary to keep your job site moving toward a flawless, paint-ready finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When driving fine thread screws into metal studs, set your screw gun to its high-speed setting and allow the sharp point to pierce the metal before applying full pressure. To ensure the best finish, drive the screw until the bugle head is slightly recessed—about 1/32 of an inch below the surface—to create a "dimple" that holds joint compound securely without breaking the drywall paper.
