Technical Usage:
Drywall screws are specifically designed for use in the construction and installation of drywall. They are used primarily to attach drywall panels to wooden or metal studs. These screws feature a sharp, self-tapping point that allows them to easily pierce the surface of drywall and fasten securely into studs, minimizing the risk of damage to the drywall. The threaded shank ensures a strong, lasting hold, while the corrosion-resistant coating offers protection in environments with varying humidity levels. These screws are ideal for both residential and commercial drywall applications, where secure and efficient installation is critical.

History:
Drywall screws were developed in the 20th century to improve the efficiency of drywall installation. Before their introduction, workers typically used nails or other types of fasteners to attach drywall, which often resulted in inconsistent performance. The development of the drywall screw allowed for easier, faster, and more reliable installation of drywall. Their self-tapping tips and ability to hold drywall securely revolutionized the construction industry, becoming the standard for drywall applications.
