Fas‑N‑Tite® 48855 #6 x 1‑5/8 in. Smart Thread Drywall Screws – 1 lb Box
Experience next‑generation fastening performance with Fas‑N‑Tite® Model 48855 Smart Thread Drywall Screws, engineered to give installers a single, highly adaptable solution for fastening drywall to both wood and metal studs. Traditionally, drywall installation requires choosing different screw types based on the underlying material—wood or light‑gauge steel. With the Smart Thread design, Fas‑N‑Tite eliminates that complexity, streamlining workflow and improving overall installation efficiency.
These screws feature a sharp point that drives with significantly less torque than typical drywall screws, reducing user fatigue while improving drive stability. A black phosphate finish enhances visibility against the drywall surface and ensures excellent compatibility with paint, mudding compounds, and finishing materials. The result is a fastener that installs smoothly, holds securely, and finishes cleanly for professional‑grade results.
Whether you’re framing, hanging sheetrock, or completing interior remodeling projects, this 1‑lb box of Smart Thread #6 x 1‑5/8 in. screws delivers the strength, versatility, and reliability required by both professional contractors and dedicated DIY users.
