The Würth #7 x 2-1/4" bugle head drywall screw is a coarse-thread, sharp-point fastener sized for thicker single-layer installations and double-layer drywall applications where a shorter screw will not reach the framing reliably. It drives with a #2 Phillips bit and seats flush in the gypsum face without tearing the paper.
Most single-layer 1/2" drywall jobs reach for a 1-1/4" or 1-5/8" screw. The 2-1/4" length steps in when the assembly gets thicker. Double-layer ceilings, 5/8" type-X fire-rated wall panels stacked over a base layer, and resilient channel installations all put more material between the screw head and the framing. At 2-1/4", this screw maintains enough thread engagement in the stud to hold the panel securely without the head pulling through. It also works for attaching 3/4" furring strips over existing drywall before a finish layer goes on. When the panel count or thickness goes up, the screw length needs to follow.
The bugle head's curved underside transitions smoothly from the screw shank to the bearing face. That geometry lets the head self-countersink into the gypsum surface at screwgun speed without the sudden stop of a flat-head that would tear the paper. The coarse thread is matched to wood framing: the wider thread pitch displaces more fiber per revolution, which translates to faster seating and solid holding power in dimensional lumber and engineered wood studs. The black finish on this screw is a standard interior-grade coating appropriate for dry, climate-controlled framing cavities. It is not rated for exterior, high-humidity, or pressure-treated lumber applications.
This box holds 3,000 screws, a quantity suited to production drywall crews and contractors working through multi-room or multi-floor jobs where running out mid-task costs real time. At the 2-1/4" length, usage per sheet is roughly similar to shorter lengths, but double-layer work increases screw count per square foot. A 3,000-count box supports that volume without constant restocking. The #2 Phillips drive is universal across screwguns and auto-feed attachments, so the whole crew can pull from the same box regardless of which tool they are running.
For single-layer 1/2" drywall on wood studs, 1-5/8" is the standard choice. The 2-1/4" length is the right call when you are working with 5/8" panels, double-layer assemblies, or when there is a resilient channel or furring strip adding thickness between the panel and the framing.
This is a coarse-thread screw designed for wood framing. Metal stud work calls for a fine-thread S-type drywall screw, which has a self-tapping point suited to thin-gauge steel. The coarse thread on this screw is not optimized for metal stud engagement.
Yes. The #2 Phillips drive and standard bugle head profile are compatible with auto-feed screwgun attachments that accept strip-collated or clip-fed drywall screws. Confirm your auto-feed magazine accepts loose screws in this gauge and length before loading.
The black finish on this screw is an interior-grade coating for dry framing environments. For wet areas, tile backer, or exterior applications, a more corrosion-resistant fastener is the right choice.
This box contains 3,000 screws.
When the panel assembly is thicker than a single layer of 1/2" drywall, the 2-1/4" length puts enough thread into the framing to hold the work and let the taper and finishing crew follow without callbacks.
