Drilling: The screw features a sharp, pointed tip that acts as a drill bit. As the screw is driven into the drywall, this tip creates a pilot hole in the material.
Thread Engagement: Once the pilot hole is created, the threaded portion of the screw engages with the drywall and the underlying stud or framing material. This provides a secure grip and prevents the screw from backing out.
Fastening: As the screw continues to be driven in, it pulls the drywall tightly against the framing material, ensuring a flush and secure installation.
Self-drilling drywall screws are typically made of hardened steel and have coarse threads to provide strong holding power in drywall. They are available in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different thicknesses of drywall and framing materials. These screws are designed to be used with drywall screw guns or cordless drills equipped with screwdriver bits, allowing for quick and efficient installation.
