Buyer Questions
Frequently asked questions
Coarse thread or fine thread — which do I need?
Coarse thread for wood studs (the deep thread bites into the wood and pulls the screw in fast). Fine thread for metal studs (the closely-pitched thread cuts into the steel without stripping). Using coarse thread on metal will strip; using fine thread on wood will be slow and prone to spinning.
Why are drywall screws black?
The traditional black color comes from a phosphate conversion coating that provides modest corrosion resistance during construction (between framing and finishing). It's not for permanent outdoor use — for that, choose deck screws or stainless screws.
