Metallics DWSK1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes and quantities come in the Metallics DWSK1 drywall screw kit?
The DWSK1 tray holds 235 screws across six sizes: 75 of the #6 x 1 inch, 50 of the #6 x 1-1/4 inch, 40 of the #6 x 1-5/8 inch, 30 of the #6 x 2 inch, 20 of the #8 x 2-1/2 inch, and 20 of the #8 x 3 inch. A #2 Phillips power bit is packed in with them, so you are not hunting for a driver bit on the truck.
2) Will these self-piercing screws go into metal studs without pre-drilling?
Yes, within a gauge range. The sharp self-piercing point is made to drive straight through drywall and into metal studs from 25 gauge through 20 gauge with no pilot hole. Heavier structural steel studs are past what a sharp point will pierce reliably; that work needs a self-drilling (drill point) screw instead.
3) Are black phosphate drywall screws OK for a damp area or exterior work?
No. Black phosphate is a light corrosion-resistant coating meant for interior, dry conditions. For exterior, treated lumber, or persistently damp locations, move to a coated or stainless exterior-rated fastener. Keep the DWSK1 kit on interior partition and remodel work.
4) Can I use this Metallics kit for drywall on wood framing, or is it metal stud only?
Both work. The stated field applications are hardwood, light gauge steel, and light gauge aluminum, so the same kit handles wood-framed partitions and light metal stud work. The twinfast thread is what speeds up the drive in wood.
5) Which screw length out of this kit should I use for a single layer of 1/2 inch drywall versus a double layer?
The kit is sized so you step up with the board thickness. The #6 x 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch are the everyday single-layer sizes, the 1-5/8 inch and 2 inch cover thicker board or a second layer, and the #8 x 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch are there for multiple layers or going through insulation. The rule of thumb is enough length to get solid engagement past the back of the board into the framing.
6) Does the Metallics DWSK1 kit meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public job?
It does not. The DWSK1 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this kit will not satisfy it.
7) Is this a repair and punch-list kit or enough to hang a room?
Think service and punch list. At 235 screws spread over six sizes, the DWSK1 suits a maintenance tech, a locksmith or electrician patching openings, or a property manager stocking a van for repairs. Hanging full rooms burns through a bulk box of one size, not an assortment tray. Order the kit for the truck and buy bulk by the size for production work.
8) Is a bugle head drywall screw going to leave a dimple I can mud over?
That is what the bugle head is for. The curved underside pulls the screw flush and slightly below the paper face without tearing it, leaving a clean dimple ready for joint compound. Pair it with the #2 Phillips bit in the kit and a depth-setting nosepiece if you are running a screw gun.
9) What are these Metallics drywall screws made of and how hard are they?
AISI 1018 steel, case hardened to Rockwell C44. That hardness is what lets the sharp point pierce light gauge steel studs without the tip rolling over, and it is also why these screws snap rather than bend if you overtorque them. Back the gun off once the head dimples.
10) How big is the Metallics screw kit tray and what does it weigh in a truck bin?
The tray measures 11 inches long by 7.25 inches wide by 1.75 inches high and weighs 1.4 pounds. It is a compartmented tray, so it drops into a van shelf or gang box without repacking, and it is sold as a single each with a minimum order of one.
