Technical Usage
The drywall screw with a needle point is primarily used in the installation of drywall or gypsum board on framing studs, including wood and metal. The needle point, which is sharper and finer than other screw types, allows it to penetrate through drywall quickly and easily, reducing installation time. This type of screw is essential for securing panels without cracking or damaging the material. Its threaded body ensures a strong hold in both wood and metal, making it versatile for different construction needs. Drywall screws are also ideal for use in environments where moisture resistance is crucial, thanks to their corrosion-resistant coating.

History
The development of the drywall screw can be traced back to the need for more efficient methods of attaching drywall to wooden or metal studs. Early fasteners were prone to loosening, causing damage to the drywall. The introduction of the needle point design improved this by allowing for easier penetration without cracking the drywall material. Over time, advancements in material coatings and manufacturing processes further enhanced the screw’s durability, leading to the corrosion-resistant variants that are widely used today.
