The Würth #7 x 1-1/8" drywall screw is a short, coarse-thread fastener with a bugle head and #2 Phillips drive, built for attaching gypsum board and thin panel materials to wood framing. The 1-1/8" length is a practical choice wherever the material stack is shallow and a longer screw would over-penetrate or break through the back face of the substrate.
Standard 1/2" gypsum board to wood studs calls for a 1-1/4" or longer screw, but a few common situations favor the shorter 1-1/8" length. Patching work over existing drywall, laminating a thin second layer of 1/4" or 3/8" board, fastening into shallow nailers or backing strips, and securing thin ceiling tile or panel products to wood substrates are all cases where the 1-1/8" sits precisely enough to seat flush without running past the back edge of the framing. It is also a go-to length when clearance behind the stud is limited, such as blocking tight to a pipe chase or a doubled-up header where additional penetration would be a problem.
The bugle head's curved underside transitions from the face to the shank in a gradual arc that distributes driving pressure evenly. That geometry lets the head dimple cleanly into gypsum facing without tearing the paper, which is the correct seating condition for a joint-compound skim coat. The black finish on this screw is a surface treatment applied to hardened steel, suitable for the dry interior environments where drywall work happens. It is not rated for exterior exposure or high-humidity spaces. For wet-area framing or any outdoor application, a corrosion-resistant screw is the right call.
A box of 10,000 is sized for teams that go through screws quickly: drywall contractors running multiple rooms, cabinet shops fastening backing panels and interior carcass skins, or finish carpenters attaching thin substrate to wood frames. The coarse thread drives fast in SPF and similar wood-stud framing, and the #2 Phillips drive means no bit swap on a crew where everyone already runs Phillips. The sharp point starts without pre-drilling, which keeps the pace up on production work. This screw is for indoor, dry-framing applications only.
The 1-1/8" length suits thin material stacks where a longer screw would over-penetrate. Typical uses include laminated panel layers, thin backers, and shallow nailers where keeping the tip within the framing member matters.
No. The curved bugle profile self-countersinks as it is driven into gypsum board, seating the head slightly below the face without requiring a separate countersink step.
No. The coarse thread is designed for wood framing. Drywall into metal studs requires a fine-thread S-type screw with a self-tapping point for proper thread engagement in steel.
This screw carries a black finish rated for dry interior environments. Wet areas, high-humidity spaces, and exterior applications call for a corrosion-resistant fastener.
A standard #2 Phillips bit. No specialty bit is required.
When the job calls for a drywall screw that seats cleanly in a shallow material stack without over-penetrating, the Würth #7 x 1-1/8" bugle head screw delivers a reliable, fast-driving result for dry interior framing work.
