Professional Features & Benefits

Superior Construction & Materials

• Steel Black Phosphate Construction - AISI 1018 material standard with Rockwell C44 hardness provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance for demanding drywall applications
• Fine Thread Design (18 TPI) - UNF thread type with fine thread spacing ensures secure grip and superior holding power in drywall and light gauge materials
• Bugle Head Configuration - Precision bugle head design (0.315-0.347" width, 0.020-0.031" height) countersinks cleanly without tearing drywall paper
• Phillips Drive System - #2 Phillips recess (0.176-0.201" diameter, 0.106" depth) provides reliable torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation

Professional Installation Performance

• Sharp Point Design - Engineered sharp point penetrates drywall and light gauge steel efficiently without pre-drilling
• Black Phosphate Finish - Professional black phosphate coating provides corrosion protection and reduces visibility of fastener heads
• Precision Threading - Fine thread configuration ensures consistent installation depth and secure attachment
