The Würth #7 x 1-1/4" fine-thread drywall screw is a bugle head, Phillips drive fastener with a sharp point, sized for attaching 1/2-inch gypsum board to metal stud framing. Packed 8000 to the box, it suits production drywall crews and contractors who move through volume on commercial and residential interiors.
Fine-thread drywall screws are the correct choice when framing is metal. The tighter thread pitch engages light-gauge steel studs and tracks cleanly, pulling the gypsum board snug without the thread skipping across the metal surface that a coarse-thread screw can produce. At 1-1/4 inches, this screw is the standard length for 1/2-inch drywall to metal framing: long enough to penetrate the stud adequately, short enough to avoid punching through the far flange on thin-wall track. It is also well matched to metal-framed ceilings and interior partition walls in commercial build-outs where metal stud systems are the norm.
The black finish on this screw is appropriate for dry, climate-controlled interior applications. It handles the routine moisture exposure of a conditioned building interior without issue. This is an indoor fastener: it is not intended for exterior framing, pressure-treated lumber contact, or high-humidity environments like unconditioned crawl spaces or exterior soffits. Keep it on interior metal stud work where it performs as designed.
Drywall subcontractors working commercial interiors, residential production builders running multiple units, and remodeling contractors who do not want to reorder mid-job are the natural buyers here. A box of 8000 outlasts a project without sitting idle long. Cabinet shops and finish crews that occasionally hang drywall in utility or storage areas also find the bulk count practical when the alternative is buying smaller packs at a higher unit cost. The #2 Phillips drive means no special bits required: any standard drywall gun or cordless driver with a Phillips bit is ready to go.
Fine-thread drywall screws are engineered for metal framing. For wood studs, a coarse-thread drywall screw provides better holding power because the wider thread pitch bites into wood fibers more effectively. This screw is the right call for metal; use a coarse-thread version for wood.
This length is standard for 1/2-inch gypsum board to metal stud framing. It provides adequate thread penetration into the stud without pushing through the back side of thin-wall track.
No. The bugle head is designed to self-countersink as the screw is driven, dimpling cleanly into the gypsum board surface without tearing the paper facing. A properly set clutch depth on a drywall gun keeps the head just below the surface.
No. The black finish on this screw is rated for dry interior conditions. Exterior framing, wet rooms with no vapor barrier, or unconditioned spaces with ongoing moisture exposure call for a corrosion-resistant fastener instead.
A #2 Phillips bit. That is the standard bit for drywall screws and fits the drive guns and cordless drivers most crews already have on hand.
When the framing is metal and the board is 1/2-inch drywall, this Würth fine-thread bugle head screw handles the connection cleanly, in volume, without a trip back to the supply house mid-job.
