This Würth #7 x 1-1/4-inch bugle head drywall screw is sized for the most common interior drywall application: attaching 1/2-inch gypsum board to wood studs. The sharp point, coarse thread, and curved bugle head work together to drive quickly and seat cleanly without tearing the paper facing.
The 1-1/4-inch length is the standard specification when hanging 1/2-inch drywall on wood framing. It clears the board thickness and drives at least 5/8 inch into the stud, meeting typical minimum embedment depth for interior walls and ceilings. This length also covers common repair and patch work where a single layer of 1/2-inch gypsum needs to be secured to exposed wood blocking or nailers.
The black finish reduces corrosion risk in the dry indoor environments where drywall screws are used and minimizes visual contrast inside the dimple left after driving. The bugle head's curved underside distributes driving pressure and guides the head just below the paper surface without tearing it, leaving a clean dimple ready for joint compound. Coarse threads are matched to softwood framing: the wider thread spacing grips wood fiber efficiently and resists pull-out as the panel shifts or settles.
This screw is suited for production drywall crews and finish contractors running wood-framed residential or light commercial projects. At 8,000 screws per box, it is stocked for jobs where a single box needs to carry through multiple rooms or an entire floor. Remodelers patching walls over wood blocking and light commercial tenants finishing out new office space over wood stud partitions will find this length covers the most frequent fastener call in those settings. It is an indoor-only screw: the black finish holds up in dry framing but is not rated for exterior or treated-lumber applications.
The 1-1/4-inch length clears the 1/2-inch panel and embeds roughly 5/8 inch or more into the wood stud, which is the minimum penetration depth most installation standards call for to hold the panel securely.
Yes. This length works for 1/2-inch drywall on wood ceiling joists the same way it does on walls, provided the framing is wood and the board is 1/2-inch thickness.
Yes. The #2 Phillips drive is compatible with drywall screw guns, auto-feed attachments designed for collated strip screws are not applicable here since these are loose screws, and standard drill drivers all accept a #2 Phillips bit.
The concave curve on the underside of a bugle head transitions smoothly into the drywall paper instead of cutting into it, dimpling the board cleanly rather than tearing the facing around the fastener hole.
No. Coarse-thread drywall screws are designed for wood framing. Metal stud applications call for a fine-thread S-type drywall screw with a self-tapping point sized for the gauge of the metal stud.
When the job is 1/2-inch gypsum board on wood framing and you need a screw that drives fast, seats cleanly, and comes in a quantity that matches production volume, this is the straightforward choice.
