Most drywall installed in homes is 1/2-inch thick. Thickness can sometimes increase or decrease, but only by very little and not very often. About the only time that do-it-yourselfers will need to install thicker drywall is with fire code or type-x drywall.
At 5/8-inch, type-x drywall is slightly thicker to retard the spread of flames and is used in garages and walls adjacent to furnace rooms. Drywall that is 1/4-inch thick is sometimes used as facing for walls and ceilings. Because it is flexible, it can be used to form curves. Still, the majority of drywall installed by do-it-yourselfers in kitchens, bathrooms, and general areas will be 1/2-inch thick.
Product Description
Taiwan black phosphate bugle head phillips easydrive screws for sheet metal
Grip-Rite drywall screws are used when installing gypsum board to light-gauge steel studs. They have a sharp point to pierce through drywall, and a fine thread design to help grab into light-gauge steel studs.
Screws intended for construction generally range from 1 inch to 8 inches long. The reason is because building materials can have a wide range of thicknesses: from sheet metal to four-by-four posts and even thicker. Not so with drywall.

Coarse Thread
* Coarse: Use coarse-thread drywall screws for most wood studs.
Coarse-thread drywall screws work best for most applications involving drywall and wood studs.
* Fine: Fine-thread drywall screws are self-threading, so they work well for metal studs.

Drywall Screw Terminology and Features
1. The main purpose for drywall screws is securing full sheets of drywall (usually 4-foot by 8-foot for do-it-yourselfers) or partial sheets of drywall to either wood or metal studs.2. Bugle head: Bugle head refers to the cone-like shape of the screw head. This shape helps the screw stay in place, without tearing all the way through the outer paper layer.
3. Sharp point: Some drywall screws specify that they have a sharp point. The point makes it easier to stab the screw into the drywall paper and get the screw started.
4. Screws-per-pound: Most often, larger size boxes of drywall screws are measured by weight, not quantity of screws. For example, 1 5/8-inch coarse thread #6 screws will yield about 200 screws per pound.
5. Drill-driver bit to use: For most drywall screws, you will generally use a #2 Phillips head drill-driver bit. While many construction screws have begun to adopt Torx, square, or heads other than Phillips, most drywall screw still use the Phillips head.
6. Coatings: Black drywall screws have a phosphate coating to resist corrosion. A different type of drywall screw has a thin vinyl coating that makes them even more corrosion-resistant. Additionally, they are easier to draw in because the shanks are slippery.
