The Würth #10 x 6" Bugle Head Drywall Screw is a coarse-thread, sharp-point fastener for interior gypsum board applications where panels must be secured through thick assemblies, layered substrates, or deep framing members. Sized for situations where shorter drywall screws simply do not reach, this #10 gauge screw drives with a #2 Phillips bit and seats cleanly with a black bugle head.
Most drywall work is handled with screws in the 1-5/8" to 2-1/2" range, but certain assemblies demand more reach. Double-layer drywall systems, thick rigid insulation boards bonded to gypsum, and specialized deep-framing configurations all put the fastener tip farther from the panel face. A standard-length screw runs out of thread before it reaches solid wood, and the joint fails. The 6" length keeps the screw fully engaged in the framing member regardless of what is stacked between the panel face and the stud. For interior commercial or specialty residential work where layered wall assemblies are specified, this is the screw that closes the gap.
Coarse-thread drywall screws are the standard choice for wood-framed walls and ceilings. The wider thread spacing drives faster per revolution and grabs more wood fiber per thread, which translates to higher pull-out resistance in dimensional lumber and engineered studs. The bugle head profile is specifically shaped for gypsum board: the gradual curve under the head displaces the paper facing rather than cutting through it, producing the clean, slightly dimpled finish that accepts joint compound without cracking or tearing. The black finish suits the dry interior environments where this screw belongs. For wet areas, exterior assemblies, or treated lumber, a corrosion-rated fastener is the right call.
Commercial drywall contractors working with sound-rated or fire-rated assemblies often encounter multi-layer wall systems where panel thickness plus backing puts the framing at 3" or more from the face. This screw is also used by insulation contractors attaching foam-backed gypsum panels and by remodelers building out walls over existing surfaces. The 500-piece box suits a job that will consume a full case of these rather than an occasional handful, making it the right buy for a crew with a specific project in hand rather than general shop stock.
The 6" length is for multi-layer assemblies where gypsum board is mounted over foam insulation, sound board, or an existing wall surface, pushing the framing member farther from the panel face than standard screws can reach. If the screw tip does not fully seat in the stud, the joint will not hold.
This is a coarse-thread (W-type) drywall screw, designed for installation into wood framing. For metal stud framing, a fine-thread S-type screw with a self-tapping point is the correct choice.
The concave curve under a bugle head distributes driving pressure gradually as it seats, pushing the gypsum paper down into a clean dimple instead of cutting through it. A flat countersunk head in the same application would tear the paper and weaken the fastening point.
No. The black finish on this screw is rated for dry interior use only. Exterior work and pressure-treated lumber require a fastener with a corrosion-rated coating such as hot-dip galvanizing or an ACQ-compatible finish.
No. The sharp point self-starts in both drywall and wood framing without pre-drilling. Drive it directly through the panel and into the stud.
When a layered wall system puts the framing out of reach of standard drywall screws, the Würth #10 x 6" Bugle Head Drywall Screw closes that distance and seats the panel securely, leaving nothing to chance on the joints that matter most.
