Achieve Superior Holding Power with Zeus Professional-Grade Fine Thread Drywall Fasteners
The Zeus #8 x 2-1/2 inch Fine Thread Drywall Screws are specifically engineered for heavy-duty interior applications requiring precision and strength. While standard screws may struggle with thicker materials, these #8 gauge fasteners provide the robust diameter needed for securing double-layer gypsum board or fire-rated Sheetrock to light-gauge metal studs. The specialized fine thread pattern is designed to tap into metal tracks with ease, providing a tight, vibration-resistant grip that prevents fastener "pops" and structural shifting. Coated in a high-quality black phosphate finish, these screws offer essential corrosion resistance and a textured surface that significantly improves the adhesion of joint compound and drywall mud for a seamless finish.
Designed for high-efficiency installation, these screws feature a #2 Reduced Phillips Bugle Head. This professional design allows the fastener to countersink perfectly into the drywall surface, creating a smooth "dimple" without tearing the protective paper face—an essential step for any paint-ready wall. The ultra-sharp piercing point eliminates the need for pre-drilling, biting into metal studs instantly upon contact. Whether you are a professional contractor managing a commercial build-out or a dedicated DIYer finishing a basement with metal framing, this 5 lb. bulk box ensures you have the quantity and quality required to get the job done right the first time.
Key Features
- Industrial Fine Threads: Optimized for superior pull-out resistance and high-torque grip in light-gauge metal studs.
- Reduced Phillips Bugle Head: Engineered to set flush without damaging the gypsum paper for easier finishing.
- Black Phosphate Coating: Enhances lubricity during driving and provides an ideal surface for drywall mud adhesion.
- Extended 2-1/2 Inch Length: The perfect size for double-layer drywall applications or specialized fire-rated assemblies.
- Precision Sharp Point: Enables immediate surface penetration for faster starts and reduced worker fatigue.
- High-Strength Carbon Steel: Heavy-duty #8 gauge construction prevents head shearing and ensures structural integrity.

Pro-Tip: When installing 2-1/2" screws, ensure your drill is perfectly perpendicular to the metal stud. Because of the length and gauge, any angle can cause the screw to skip across the metal. Maintain high speed and moderate pressure until the sharp point bites, then slow down as the bugle head approaches the paper to ensure a perfect, non-torn dimple every time.
