Würth #7 x 1" Bugle Head Drywall Screw Phillips Drive - Sharp Point Coarse Thread Black, 3670000269961 1000 - 1000/Box

Black Drywall Screw Built for Thin Panel Work

This Würth #7 x 1" bugle head drywall screw handles the short-fastener jobs on the board — securing 1/2" or thin panel material to wood framing where a longer screw would over-penetrate. The Phillips drive and sharp point make for fast, clean driving, and the black finish blends into the gypsum surface once the head is seated.

Key Features

• Bugle head profile seats flush into drywall paper without tearing the facing.
• #2 Phillips drive works with standard drill/driver bits found on any framing or finish crew.
• Sharp point self-starts in wood studs without a pilot hole.
• Coarse thread provides strong pull-out resistance in wood framing.
• Black finish disappears under joint compound for a clean, low-visibility result.
• 1,000 screws per box keeps a busy crew stocked through a full wall or ceiling section.

Where a 1" Drywall Screw Earns Its Place

A 1" length is the right call when stock thickness is thin and penetration depth needs to stay controlled. Hanging 3/8" repair panels, adding a layer of 1/4" sound board over existing drywall, or tacking light gypsum backing in tight utility spaces — these are the jobs where a standard 1-5/8" screw bottoms out against the stud before the head seats. The 1" screw threads into the wood framing far enough to hold firmly without punching through the back of shallow blocking or doubling material. It also sees regular use in light wood panel work where the installer wants a drywall-profile head and a coarse thread without carrying a second screw type on the belt.

Bugle Head, Black Finish, and Coarse Thread

The bugle head on this screw is designed specifically for gypsum board. The curved underside transitions gradually from head to shank, so the screw dimples the paper facing cleanly as it seats rather than tearing through it. That dimple is what joint compound fills — a torn face leaves a rough spot that takes extra work to hide. The black finish keeps the seated head low-contrast against the board surface. For drywall applications, this finish is an interior choice suited to dry conditions; it is not a corrosion-resistant coating for wet or exterior work. Coarse threads run the full effective shank length, gripping the fiber of wood studs on contact and resisting pull-out through normal loading cycles.

The Right Fit for Repair Crews, Finish Carpenters, and Cabinet Installers

Short drywall screws tend to show up in three places: patch and repair kits where one or two panels go up and waste matters, millwork and trim installs where a panel backer needs to be held flush without over-driving, and cabinet or built-in work where a drywall-head screw is the cleanest option for attaching a thin back panel or filler strip to framing. A 1,000-count box suits a shop or crew that cycles through short screws regularly and wants a consistent, single-brand fastener without mixing packaging from multiple suppliers.

Common Questions

A Short Screw That Handles Its Own Work

When the job calls for a precise, controlled depth on thin material, the 1" length does what longer screws cannot — seats fully, holds firmly, and leaves the stud face clean behind it.
