Coarse Thread Drywall Screws & Fine Thread Drywall Screws

There are two types of drywall screws: coarse thread and fine thread.

Coarse Thread Drywall Screws

Use coarse-thread drywall screws for most wood studs.

Coarse-thread drywall screws, also known as W-type screws, work best for most applications involving drywall and wood studs. The wide threads are good at gripping into the wood and pulling the drywall against the studs.

One downside of the coarse-thread screws: the metal burrs that can embed in your fingers. Be sure to wear gloves when working with coarse-thread drywall screws.

Fine Thread Drywall Screws

Fine-thread drywall screws, also known as S-type screws, are self-threading, so they work well for metal studs.

With their sharp points, fine-thread drywall screws are best for installing drywall to metal studs. Coarse threads have a tendency to chew through the metal, never gaining proper traction. Fine threads work well with metal because they are self-threading.
