Zeus #8 x 3 Inch Fine Thread Drywall Screws 5lb Box Black Phosphate Coated Sharp Point Reduced Phillips Bugle Head Metal Stud Fasteners for Sheetrock

Secure Multi-Layer Gypsum and Commercial Wall Systems with Zeus Professional Fine Thread Fasteners

The Zeus #8 x 3-inch Fine Thread Drywall Screws are the industrial standard for demanding interior applications that require extra reach and high-torque stability. Specifically engineered for securing gypsum panels and Sheetrock to light-gauge metal studs, these #8 gauge fasteners provide the robust diameter and length necessary for multi-layer drywall installations, soundproofing projects, or fire-rated assemblies. The specialized fine thread pattern is designed to tap effortlessly into metal tracks, providing a vibration-resistant grip that prevents structural shifting and fastener pops. Finished with a premium black phosphate coating, these screws provide essential corrosion resistance for interior environments while offering a textured surface that maximizes the adhesion of joint compound and drywall mud.

Precision-crafted for the professional installer, these fasteners feature a #2 Reduced Phillips Bugle Head. This specialized head design allows the screw to set flush or slightly recessed without tearing the delicate face paper of the drywall, significantly reducing the labor required for patching and sanding. The ultra-sharp piercing point eliminates the need for pre-drilling, biting into metal studs instantly upon contact to increase job site efficiency. Whether you are a commercial contractor managing a large build-out or a homeowner tackling a specialized interior renovation, this 5 lb. bulk box provides the strength, durability, and high piece count required for a flawless, paint-ready finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Due to the 3-inch length and fine thread pattern, maintain a high RPM on your screw gun to help the sharp point pierce the metal stud quickly. Always drive the screw perpendicular to the stud; for multi-layer applications, ensure the first layer is tightly secured before adding the second to prevent "gaps" that can cause the drywall to flex or crack at the seams.
